    Wine?

    It's my dad's birthday this weekend and my mum is holding a surprise barbeque, it's going to be fine for me food-wise lots of meat and grilled veggies but what about alcohol during induction, I only drink wine and I understand white wine is ok but I was wondering if it's still ok during induction, I do want to enjoy myself but I don't want any set backs and am willing to take along my water bottle if necessary

    Re: Wine?

    If you're wlling to take your water bottle along, then that's what I'd do. Alcohol is not for induction... you need to wait for the appropriate OWL (ongoing weight loss) rung. If you drink alcohol, your body burns that as fuel before any other fuel, hence your weight loss gets put on hold until it's all burned up.

    It's very important to do a clean induction because at the end of the two weeks your (clean) induction losses will give you a good idea of what your critical carb level for losing (CCLM) will likely be in OWL and your degree of metabolic resistence to weight loss. Both are very good to know.

    You also want to kill the sugar cravings during induction, and wine contains sugar (or is it fructose?)... anyway, sweet stuff that isn't good for you! Lol.

    I'm sure you'll still have fun at your dad's birthday. Enjoy the great foods you can eat and the good company!

          Oh wow! I know what you mean about families... most are enough to drive us to drink!!!

          "What's one night compared to.... etc." is a great attitude! Good for you!
