Default What are the effects of cheating?

I fasted on Yom Kippur (Friday sundown to Saturday sundown). So for
dinner Saturday night I broke the fast with several dishes I have
become accustomed to using for this purpose.

Most of the dishes were fine on the South Beach Diet, but one
consisted of boiled potatoes topped with (low-fat) sour cream. I
didn't want to skip the dish, as it has become "traditional" for me.

So my question relates to the physiological effects of eating these
potatoes, the first ones I've had since last December. My
understanding is that eating the potatoes causes a spike in blood
sugar, leading to hunger (appetite).

How long does this hunger last? Assuming I did not overeat after my
break-fast (it was a large meal), have I done myself any harm?

Your diet will never work for you again. Ever.

Assuming that you ate enough to knock you out of ketosis, it will take you
a day or two to get back into ketosis, depending on what else you
ate/eat.

Your hunger will probably be related to being in ketosis. My experience is
that if I don't enough to knock me out of ketosis, nothing happens, except
that I taste that "tasty" food again, wanting it again.

But, I may gain a pound or two as I store water along with the extra
carbs.

Personally I haven't had the worst effects. i had a few situations where not
eating the foods would have ben very insulting to the hostess (my old world
grandmother that is) so I've had about 2 or 3 occasions where I ate potatoes
and I just didn't lose weight for about 2 days. then back to normal.

stick with your plan otherwise and you should be fine. everyone here says
"it's not a race" and it's good to keep that in mind.

good luck

I don't subscribe to the idea that blood sugar controls appetite. There is
reason to believe the mechanisms are much more complex than that. However,
it is likely that some level of eating increased carbs will cause a return
of the carb cravings often reported in the early weeks of low carb eating.
Why risk it?

Also, buying low-fat anything, such as the sour cream is asking for trouble.

Would your religious tradition be satisfied by having a very tiny portion of
the traditional food? It should be possible to figure out how much potato
would be about 10 carbs. A 10 carb cheat is probably without consequence.

It had become "traditional" for me to be fat. I had to learn to skip the
potatoes to break this tradition. I think getting over the whole 'celebrating
with food' thing is a big hurdle, but one that people really must make.

Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start right over again!
Everyone has their cheats but a couple days on the straight and
narrow should have you back on track.

I am fairly conservative with respect to fasting, however I fasted
twice yesterday. Once between breakfast and lunch, and again between
lunch and 'break the fast'! :-)

I manage my diabetes with exercise and diet (no meds) so don't let myself
go too long without.
