Help please!!
I've just found out my fiance has booked us a table at a lovely (and expensive!!) italian restaurant as a surprise for my birthday.
I've checked the menu online and it's literally all pizza and pasta - absolutely nothing atkins friendly at all.
I cant ask him to change it as he's gone to a lot of trouble and I'm not really supposed to know about it obviously.
So I know I'm probably gonna end up eating tonnes of carbs and I really want to avoid a big gain as I know it will de motivate me.
So my question is: to avoid a big gain is it best to gradually increase my carbs daily for say, about a week before to "wean" myself off the atkins and get my body used to carbs again?
Or is it better to just have a one day blow out, take the hit, then get straight back on it next day and hope I havent done too much damage?
Obviously I know that both ways will knock me out of ketosis but I would really appreciate your thoughts
