I hope you realize the majority of that weight was water.
You should've saw what I ate.
I'm pretty sure it surpassed 10K calories and 1000 carbs. Decadence reigned in excelsis.
I used an entire Novolog pen and a good part of a Lantus pen controlling it.
I was carbed out for quite awhile after that.

My life runs on 5 work days and two weekend days, so it works.
I control the body, not the other way around.
There is no yo-yo. The weigh in that counts is nothing but down.
Next one's tomorrow morning. I expect another record low.

I'm not going to criticize your eating plan because it mirrors mine in many ways (only without being diabetic). I could theoretically eat 2000+ calories a day, 7 days a week. Or I could eat 1500 and have one "cheat day". Well I choose the latter, because without the cheat days I would still be fat.
Whatever works, because at the end of the day, it's what you do over the course of a week, a month, a year. Not what you do everyday. Once I figured that out, things were better for me. I call it averaging.
But do know that what you "gained" was mostly water. It would take more than two days of bingeing to put on that much fat and it takes FAR MORE effort to get the fat off.

This.
It should debunk the whole myth of dieting because losing weight it the easy part - keeping it off is much harder.
The number of times I see people put themselves through hell for six months to achieve an impressive weight loss and then think everything is fine after that - a month later it's all back on again.
It's a cliche but it's true - forget dieting and learn to eat sensibly PERMANENTLY.

That is EXACTLY my plan.

You're too blind to see that everything that is being done is for the long term. If I can't do it permanently, I don't do it.
I've been on a low carb diet since 2015. Only a complete and utter goof would think that I can't do it after 5 years.
I just want to have more free days, like Rialise. It's really as simple as that... once a week I want to eat what "regular" people eat.
Through trial (and very little error) I've finally learned how to do it.
I agree! I look at my eating on a weekly basis and a monthly basis (which also corresponds to daily and yearly). So long as the overall average is generally healthy-ish, then I do not worry about a single day or two here and there.
Yo yo dieting is losing tons of weight, gaining tons of weight, losing tons of weight, gaining tons of weight, etc etc etc, over a period of years. Very unhealthy.
Eating healthy 5-6 days a week and allowing yourself to eat not so healthy the other 1-2 days each week - this is not a yo yo. This is a realistic lifestyle and, in my opinion, quite healthy.
I actually try to emulate Eaton and Riaelese - they each have healthy mindsets and lifestyles (re: food) very similar to what I am aiming towards!

Yes, diets are temporary.
So, why do them?
People will fail because they will revert back.
I like WOE, Way of Eating.
It's long term, permanent, and a way of life.
I also keep a daily food log of what my 2 meals a day are and the times in a notebook. Only takes 3 seconds. Been doing it for months.
I've been eating OMAD, which is a 23 hour fast per day, but also had lunch twice in the last week, and been eating things like vegan pancakes with sugar-free syrup and sugar-free peanut butter, vegan cheese sandwiches and chips. Bad idea. I've gained 3 pounds!
Carbs are the problem. I think I finally get it.
I think I finally get it....LOL
If you want to get a little more insight into carbs throughout time...the Epilogue chapter at the end of 'Protein Power',
a common book in Used stores ...is quite fascinating speaking about archeological digs
around the world...
relating to carbs (grain based cultures) or a culture that did not eat carbs. Cemeteries reveal tons!
And the mummies! Right now, today, they are still dissecting mummies! Egypt was grain based...
ha, I remembered that from the movie Cleopatra...those Pharoahs were really into grain!
Well, what a bunch of unhealthy people!!! Wait till you find out!

The only problem is, I'm not going to eat bacon, eggs and cheese. I'm just not.
Infuencers... heh. What a $%&^ "profession".
But when your livelihood is dependent on not eating a fish, you might want to think twice about eating that fish.
