Not much to say. I had four meals where I cheated on the low carb, three for the sake of convenience, and one planned. Still lost 3 pounds for the week, which isn’t bad, but I’ve still got 2.5 pounds to get back to where I was when I chucked the diet out the window in late June.
Besides “momentum eating” (where once I get started, it’s just hard to stop before I’ve eaten too much), convenience foods are my primary downfall. Pizza, burgers, etc., the quick fix usually causes as many problems as it fixes. And the “healthy” options at many fast food places are either a joke or far less appetizing than the options that you know you should avoid.
That’s not to say that convenience foods can’t be eaten at all. It’s like anything else… too much of a good thing is bad. Convenience foods in limited amounts on rare occasions are useful, tasty, and won’t kill you. But if you’re eating convenience foods for half your meals (which I’ve been known to do), there will be unpleasant consequences.
The problem with convenience foods is that they’re so darn…. convenient.
