    SErious advice needed ASAP!

    OK, heres my problem. I've been on Atkins for a couple of weeks, not 100% hard core, but I've been doing it right for the most part. I've been losing around .5 pounds a day... so I've lost around 10 pounds so far. GREAT for not sticking to induction 100%.

    Well up until this morning I'd been losing steadly, but today I was up 2 pounds. Not a huge bummer but I know it was because of this weekend. I'm 23 and partied a lot and in turn drank a lot (beer pong, flip cup).

    Yes, it's shitty I gained a little big back but I had a great time and my body has taken well to adkins so I'll lose it hopefully within the week. No to mention I stayed super hydrated on Sunday so it could be a lot of water weight.

    My main confusion is do I jump right back into induction? Do I start the two weeks over? I'm not 100% sure if I was knocked out of ketosis, but it wouldn't surprise me. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks in advance!

    There is no need to restart counting your first 14 days, as those are gone now and your losses in those days should show you what sort of resistance to weightloss you have (look at the chart in DANDR for this)

    If you had started to move up the OWL carbohydrate ladder and have fallen out of ketosis by your eating off-plan, then return to induction levels and choices of food till you are back in ketosis then move back to the level/rung of OWL you were on.

    If you had decided to stay on induction for longer than the 14 days, then just continue eating induction till you get to the stage when you are ready to move onto the main weightloss phase of Atkins (OWL).
    Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
    Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

      As a mom and a nurse I want you to please be careful with the binge drinking. It is very bad for your health whether you are on atkins or not. I have seen many young pt's come into my ER with alcohol poisoning from binge drinking. Some are not so lucky to leave, and some leave with permanent brain damage. So very sad. have a happy holidays and please drink responsibly.

        This is a difficult time for those of us on Induction, but we gotta do what we gotta do, if you know what I mean. Hang in there. You can do it. Just picture that skinny you.
