Oh heck, bit of a boob on week 12. 2 buffets on plan, but forgot about the rubbish that goes into cocktail sausages yesterday and ended up showing a 1lb gain this week. Lesson learnt there then. Unsure what to do this week, always planned for it to be an off plan week, but as it got closer and closer thought I would maybe just do Christmas Day off. Toyed with it all morning and made the decision in the end to come off for the full week. Had a small plate with some crackers and a few crisps, a snack sausage roll and a picnic egg. Later on had 2 cherry bakewell tarts. Now, in terms of volume this would be about 1/8 of what I would normally eat in this kind of scenario, in terms of the last 12 weeks, clearly a great deal more. But.... felt dreadful all afternoon, like I'd had three times my "normal" food - absolutely bloated and sick.
Been reading a few articles recently about the link with insulin resistance, pcos and carb intolerance, and after today it seems I've placed the pieces of a jigsaw together - I suspect I may have an intolerance to carbs. If this is the case, then I need to rethink long term plans and consider low carb (but not vlc) to be my longer term plan of choice. It's been an interesting experiment today, and I'm curious to see the water weight gain from coming out of ketosis, but I'm not enjoying the sicky bloated eaten waaaaay too much feeling!
