Well, it's time to jump off the plan for about six days.

Postby ascicles » May 5th, 2006, 6:53 am

As some of you know, I am going to Las Vegas from Sunday-Thursday. As of right now, my plan is to stay compliant through Saturday and on Sunday I will go off plan. I will try to eat healthy choices and keep my calorie intake under 1500-2000 per day. I know that some people think this is a bad move, but I am not going to worry about shaking things up every 2-3 hours when I am on a vacation. I will rarely be in my hotel, so that makes it even harder.

As of right now, I have lost 57.5 pounds. I expect to gain at least a little bit of weight, just from the change. At my weight (312), a 2000 calorie diet should still cause me to lose weight...but assuming the changes in intake, I expect to gain at least 7-8 pounds while I'm gone. I can deal with that.

On Friday, the plan starts over. Hopefully I will not suffer the hunger (which I didn't last time) or the headaches (which I did), but I am expecting to have both.

Here's a question for those that have fell off the plan. How much did you gain after being off the plan for a week? Again, I am going to try to choose wisely, but obviously, it will not include medifast packets.

I was sick last week and gained 4 lbs. when I went out of ketosis. I wasn't eating much though....just toast, crackers, and such. I'm just starting my 3rd day back on-program and I've lost all the weight I gained plus a half-pound. (4 1/2 lbs. in two days)

Have fun on your trip!

I was off plan Sunday - Thursday of this week and was NOT trying to keep my calories in check! I went from 210.6 to 218, a 7.4lb gain. HOWEVER, after one day back on plan, I'm down to 213.4 - most of the gain IS water and it will go away quickly - it takes 3500 EXTRA calories to create a pound of fat, and if you're walking up and down the strip, and keeping your calories below 2000, I'm sure you won't have unexpended calories lurking about :)

Have a FANTASTIC time!!

Have a great time on your trip!

I think your smart to stay within certain calorie limits.Choose wisley and you should not have a terrible gain over a few days.

I have pretty much put it in my mind that I am going to gain 10 pounds. I will be happy with anything less than that.

I am going to Vegas (only for 3 days) at the beginning of June. My plan is to mirror a South Beach style of diet and try to eat good clean high protein meals. I may bump up a few pounds, but my ultimate goal is to just stay in ketosis. I also plan on walking to many of the casino's vs. any sort of public transportation or taxi's. While I am there I will be playing in as many one day poker tournaments as possible, and since I don't drink alcohol, I plan on going through quite a few of the complimentary bottles of water at the poker tables. At least I will have that going for me! :lol:

Have a good time while you are there!

Have a great time!! I went off for one week due to surgery and gained 5 pounds. I'm glad to say that as of the 5th day back on plan, I've lost 4 of what I gained. I am on meds and not moving around much so if I can lose it with these issues - you will be fine. Make healthy choices to feel good but TOTALLY enjoy yourself!!

We will be waiting for all the details :)
