You should definitely allow yourself some sort of “treats” on shabbos that you don’t have during the week. There are two ways of doing this: either do as some have suggested and give yourself free rein on shabbos, which I don’t think will ruin your diet if you are following it strictly during the week, or set certain parameters. I am not familiar with your particular diet, so I don’t know what parameters are right for you, but for instance, some have mentioned soda. Let’s say you don’t drink soda at all during the week, but you can allow yourself one cup of soda per shabbos meal. Just leaving it vague at “I’ll be careful” will not do you any good. Either decide to eat whatever you want, or set guidelines. Just make sure you are differentiating what you eat on shabbos from what you eat on weekdays. Hatzlacha!
