Granted, we did not eat particularly well over the past week and a bit, but I don't think we did all that bad, either. If we weren't having an official holiday meal (those were Christmas Eve, Christmas, and New Year's Eve dinners), the big sins were Godiva dark-chocolate gems (truffle, plain, and caramel), which were definitely not low-carb, cookies, and the sausage balls, which still included a large quantity of gluten-free Bisquick (mostly rice flour and potato starch). On the good side, we had things like steak and lettuce wedge salad with lots of blue cheese, cheese snacks, beef stick snacks, and heavy cream in the tea/coffee.
I don't feel, after the holidays, that I want to go "off the diet"; in fact, the cheats were seen as cheats, to be done only in context of the holidays, and most of our normal meals were, actually, normal low-carb/paleo. When we ate out, I ordered hamburgers or hot dogs without buns, or ate them out of their buns - and on a couple of days, I think we skipped lunch entirely, because we weren't hungry. So, all things considered, the change has stuck with us and I feel very much at less risk of reverting to the SAD.
Another nice thing this year - no resolutions regarding diet and exercise; simply not needed!
