In my FB group, someone mentioned the need to occasionally shock your system, and people are recommending carbs or sweets. I have never been told this, and I stick to my plan 100%. Has anyone heard of the need to do this for any reason? To break a stall? It seems like cheating on this regimen is setting yourself for failure if you became overweight due to lack of control or moderation. I would never eat a brownie or cookie this early on - we are all 2-3 months out (or ever, unless it was bariatric friendly). Advice?

Well, there is this practice called "Carb cycling". I know nothing about it in depth, but it seems kind of similar to what you're talking about.

Yeah maybe. I just wanna stick to what my team says. But if someone knew some dirty secret to lose more weight, I want in on it. lollll.

I'm sorry but I stand by my statement that it is terrible for someone to go through all of this just to eat garbage again ("if that's what made them big to begin with"). Be it once or every day. And I feel no shame in being judgmental about that. We can agree to disagree. And, yes, to each their own. People can ruin their surgery if they want to. Or take unnecessary risks. If it doesn't affect them, awesome. But if it may, why the heck would you risk that. Baffles the mind.

As defined by Merriam Webster:

Tolerance

noun

tol·er·ance | \ ˈtä-lə-rən(t)s, ˈtäl-rən(t)s\

2a: sympathy or indulgence for beliefs or practices differing from or conflicting with one's own

It goes a long way in life ...

Lawd have mercy, we have another one. *shrug* I am totally tolerant of other people's poor choices. It doesn't affect me at all.

Congratulations ?

My NUT said something similar to the fact that an occasional cheat can help reset and boost your metabolism. I don’t know one way or the other. I stick to my plan and have plenty alternatives to the bad foods that I just love. I wish I could find them locally, but will order online forever need be.

Some people just like to argue for the sake of arguing. Just answer my question and move on, I mean JEEZUUS. It's a forum not a dog and pony show. Anyways, I got my question answered. Peace out. lmao.

I love the BP store so far. And FB is stalking me with "keto" alternatives that work. Ah, FB stalky ads. In my mind.

Yep, the BP store has great prices, some lower than Amazon AND don't forget that your forum participation gains you points to use on your orders for a discount. https://store.bariatricpal.com/pages/rewards

Between BP and Bariactricfoodsdirect I’m covered. We all have things we love!! I just find alternatives to them. I love BBQ sauce. So I found some with no fat, and only 2 carbs that is boss!! I won’t ever knock no one, I just do me.
