Hi everyone,

I am just home from a friends dinner party and i tried so hard to be carb free but my wine glass was filled up for me and i ended up having two glasses... now i feel terrible what should i do, am i going to gain weight now because of this mistake??

should i eat less tomorrow to get me back on track?


Any advice would be appreciated ,

Welcome to ADBB, Molly!

Well, the wine has been drunk.

Just because your glass was filled for you doesn't mean you have to drink it. You could have just let it sit in the glass.

You don't need to eat less today or tomorrow.

Just know that your body will burn the alcohol for fuel before it burns fat.

Also, why were you trying to be "carb free"? Atkins isn't zero carbs.

just get back on your Induction menu and you'll be fine. It might take a couple fo days before you start losing again, but oh well can't undrink the wine.

Very few people have a perfectly clean induction, so don't stress out too much. In the future though, be warned that you will be at dinner parties and faced with temptation again. It's hard for me to say "No" too, but I've gotten a lot better at it.

Not drinking that wine/eating that cake/etc will not hurt my host's feelings as much as it will harm my lifestyle decision.
