Hi BBWoman. When I have found myself struggling to keep on track, I buckle down and do some heavy de-carbing. My steps are:

--get all unhealthy carbs out of the house. Sweets, starchy veggies, and grains are all IN THE TRASH immediately.

-for the first three days, eat nothing but lean meat and green veggies. Spices and cooking spray are fine to season the food - no sauces, butter, cheese, etc. Lean meat and green veggies only! But I allow myself to eat as much lean meat and green veggies as I want.

--the next three days, go to myfitnesspal.com and set up an account with reasonable weight loss goals and a high Protein, low carb daily ratio. Pre-plan my eating every day. Weigh or measure my portions. Log all my eating. Stick with the rule of lean meat and green veggies only.

--make sure that I am getting at least 75 grams of protein and 64 ounces of Fluid a day. Only allowable fluids are Water, black coffee, and tea.

--my six day carb detox is now over. Keep my targets on MFP and my practice of logging and pre-planning, but gradually add in eggs, dairy, fruit, and tree nuts. Plan for three meals and two or three Snacks a day -- no unplanned snacks or "grazing" allowed.

This is my plan and it works for me. Yes, it is very rigid and involves a lot of counting, measuring, logging, etc. But I find I do better when working within a strict framework instead of just trying to make stuff up as I go along. That's what got me to 350+ pounds and needing weight loss surgery in the first place.

Good luck to you!
