Hi all,
Kind of worried I might have kicked myself out of ketosis. Yesterday I hosted a bridal luncheon at which I drank 2 glasses of white wine. Later that evening, at the wedding, I drank FOUR beers (not light beers, either) and also a glass of champagne for the champagne toast!
I barely ate all day because I was running around, and did not eat anything but the salad at the dinner because it was not Atkins friendly food. Could I have ruined everything? Do I need to go back to a whole 2 week Induction again?
The good news is I was down FOUR pounds to 170 this morning, but I am sure that was the diuretic effect of the alcohol. But I am afraid to eat today! The alcohol should be all burned off by now, so my body should be burning fat again, and I thought I remembered that alcohol is the first thing your body burns. So if I didn't eat food, should my body have burned up all that alcohol with no ill effects on my ketosis or did I blow it?
The good news is....I was surprisingly sober for having had all those drinks.

You don't have to go back and do a 2-week induction again. Just continue on, stay on plan, and STAY AWAY from alcohol until the appropriate rung of OWL. Remember, the alcohol isn't legal either if you're not to Rung 5.
