You need to understand that part is irrelevant. One meal
can NOT trigger fat storage that way. One meal CAN
trigger water retention, and water reacts to gravity so it
shows on the scale. Since water isn't fat and it's fat that
we all wanted to lose, that type of scale bounce isn't an
issue. If you're going to freak out at water bounce, know
that in advance and stay off the sale until you're back
stabilized.

Usually after my Chinese buffet meal I can count on "gaining" 5-6#. Within
48 hours, if I drink a lot and eat mostly fats and veggies, it's gone and
I'm back to where I was before the meal. I suppose some might be shocked to
the point of quitting by such a "gain"...

I've often wondered how much our minds and personality have to do with the
whole health/weight loss continuum - as much as our bodies, I sometimes
think!

I am so thrilled !!!!!!!!! also I have become a more nicer and
compassionate person on low carb, not so angry. Never depressed like
before. But that may be due to looking better so I cant equate that
with low carb.

Don't go there if the reason you low carb is for your health (GERD,
diabetes) or because you binge when you eat carbs. If GERD (or nasty,
recurrent heartburn) is a problemn when you eat carbs it'll come
screaming back. Ditto for the gas. If you binge on carbs, then eating
something like pasta may set you off - only you know how susceptible
you are to that.

Before I started low-carbing, I used to have chocolate chip cookies
about 4-5 times a week (3-4 at a time baked fresh each time from frozen
dough). I eventually figured out that those cookies were a BIG trigger
of reflux in my case. I was CRUSHED! CCCs were my favorite "food" in
the WORLD! Now that I think about it, knowing that I couldn't (or at
least SHOULDN'T) eat the cookies without possibly choking to death in my
sleep (it was getting THAT bad) was so disheartening that it was ALSO a
key deciding factor in my deciding to bite the bullet and start low-carb
(which I had already been pondering for several months). I think I went
throught he five stages of grief over it: denial, anger, bargaining,
depression, acceptance -- only then could I move on to a life of low-
carb :-)

Only if they consider it a gain, the smart people know it's only a shift in
water weight and nothing to do with their waist line!
It's just like the stock market, those in for the long haul are not effected
by short term losses.
