Don't worry! It's okay
This happens sometimes. The most important part, is to learn from it, and not to let it continue.
SO many times I've though "oh well, this week is bust, I'll just enjoy this/that/the other and I'll start fresh next week." WARNING BELLS! THIS IS WRONG! ONLY REGRET LIES DOWN THIS PATH!
Maybe you were really lucky and didn't get knocked out of ketosis!
That would be great, because it means that at least you don't need to go through that awful 'day 3' feeling again, you know, when you feel so weak you just want to lie down?
Okay, let's have a think about it!
i) BBQ is a great way to cook food because it doesn't add any extra fat or calories! So not a bad choice on the cooking method.
ii) Chicken is great because it's so lean, but I suspect yours had skin on it?
Oops! Without the skin though, this wasn't a bad choice.
iii) Ribs and pork in general aren't great because ribs have so much fat, and pork as so much salt! - So try stay away from pork in future XD
iv) From the sounds of it you avoided rolls and bread, and that was a great choice, well done you!
That's really good.
v) The salad probably wasn't too bad either, did it have dressing on it? Did you eat more than a BARRELL full? If not, then you made a good choice here (as far as cheat-foods go
)
All in all, it's not so bad. Try upping your water intake as much as you possibly can (at LEAST 3 litres a day) to help flush out all that extra salt, because that makes a huge difference.
And don't worry about what the scales say, for the following reasons:
1)If you've put on weight, you know exactly why so don't be surprised, don't be disappointed, just know that all the effort you have put into week one will help towards getting an even BETTER first loss on week 2, it really will!
2) If it stays the same, PHEW, you were lucky and avoided a gain, that's great, and again your hard work will make week two's loss all the better.
3) If you show a loss, fantastic! VERY lucky, but DON'T think that you 'got away with cheating' and that you can do it again in future. you're loss could have been even better, and next time you might not be so lucky
Trust me, your consultant will understand. This diet is HARD, and social situations are the absolute worst. She will not be mad or disappointed, so just tell her the truth and let her know that you don't want to quit! (because you don't right??)
Next time you have a social occasion coming up, ask her what you CAN have. Soul source plus meals are a great way to get through a social occasion because they don't put you out of ketosis and won't completely ruin your weightloss for the week. There ARE options if you need them
If I have a meal out coming up with friends, I go online, print off the menu of the place I'm going to, and take it my consultant so we can go through it together and find if there is anything that I can eat (usually a started that I'll have at the same time everyone else is having a main course)
I find this really helpful for the social occasions I just can't/really don't want to avoid.
