What happens after you cheat on your low-carb diet?
So, I had a moment of weakness. There's this bag of marshmallows my family left in the cupboard that had been taunting me, and 3 marshmallows later here we are. Anyway, I've been on this low-carb diet for a solid month now, and have been losing a lot of weight. I wanna know what effect this cheat day has on my body. Does it stop the whole weight loss process? Does it all start over? Will I stop losing weight? If so, how long will it take to get the ball rolling again? I have a goal date, and don't want this ONE day to screw everything up. Thanks for reading!!

Go high carb, low fat, whole foods, plant-based VEGAN! I went vegan this year and have lost 40 pounds, with minimal exercise, and eating AS MUCH as I desire bringing down my BMI from 30 to 24. I weigh less now than I did throughout high school, as an overweight teenager, even when I exercised for hours while on Junior Varsity and Varsity sports teams. I went to my annual physical earlier this month, and even my doctor was in shock.
My goal for next year is to lose 30-40 more pounds, I just need to start exercising on a regular basis. Nothing crazy, just 30-60 minutes of jogging, Ballet Beautiful, bike riding.. things like that.
I think it's amazing what I've accomplished so far, just by changing my diet, though. It's a lot easier to go vegan than it seems. I was never vegetarian, I went from being able to eat an entire box of pizza or entire tub of ice cream in one sitting to a full-fledged vegan. I now spend a lot less money on groceries, have more energy (never need caffeine, and never feel lethargic like I used to on a regular basis), have more concentration, am learning to cook, and etc. Try it for a week, that's how I started, and I felt so good that I just kept going, and it's now been 5 months! You can get every nutrient from plant foods, including protein!

The only vitamin you need to supplement is B12, and one I personally recommend is Garden of Life's B12 spray (cause I personally hate swallowing pills, and methylcobalamin is better than cyanocobalamin). You can buy it at any health foods store (Whole Foods, Sprouts, Trader Joe's, etc.), or online.

It was THREE marshmallows and NOT a full bag nor did you eat any other sweets. It won't make much of a dent.
You just need to remember your diet from here on in and don't do this again. I'm no diet expert but I assume if you stay to the script for your diet you'll do alright.
You don't have to start from square zero but resume immediately what has led to the weight loss and stay on track. That's how you will be successful. If you are close to target weight one piece of chocolate or a can of coke here and there won't destroy things.
