What is carb creep and how can I avoid it?

0

When you start adding back carbohydrates as you move from Induction into the progressively less restrictive phases of Atkins, some people begin to lose track of how many grams of Net Carbs they’re eating. If that happens, you are likely to regain the pounds you’ve lost. That is why it is very important to increase your daily carb intake by only five grams each week and to introduce only one new food at a time. That way, you’ll also immediately notice if a new food is causing you to experience cravings that lead to over-eating. Another way to stay in control is to keep a food diary so you can spot troublesome foods before they set up a pattern of cravings and gorging. For example, if you find after eating nuts, you are hungry again in a few hours, cut out the nuts and see if the hunger disappears.
