text: have i blown my diet with tonites dinner? i am on a high protein low carb diet ...but tonite i was tempted by kfc with coleslaw...previously i have been very good with grilled stuff...but tonite i gave into temptation...all the coating must be full of carbs...have i blown it?? no, it could be worse.. yes the skin has carbs because it has flour in it.. but not as many carbs as a piece of bread.. so your ok.. the coleslaw i looked up and had 22 grams.. which is pretty equivalent to a piece of bread. but don't get upset, or feel like a failure, because that will only lead you to get off your diet.. some people have off days, and eat something they shouldn't when on a diet.. but don't let it discourage you..if you feel real guilty the best thing you can do after eating carbs is go for a walk and burn some of it off..   the best way to lose weight though, is to find a diet that you can live with for the rest of your life, and usually that isn't a low carb diet.. maybe cut down your calories to 1000-1200 a day, and make sunday a cheat day, where you can eat anything you want.. remember, sometimes its not the food you eat, but the portions you take..  good luck..
