    Bacardi = no no!!

    So I signed up on ivillage's atkins chat board before I found this one...

    And I got an e-mail from a girl who was trying to tell me how to drink on atkins ...(now I know you just DON'T drink on atkins until later phases if you must and I know what you can and CAN'T have)---yet...I don't think this girl got it...

    She told me "On atkins...when I drink, I get bicardi and diet coke bc it's low in calories and then I eat at mcdonalds hamburger and take off the bun"...

    ok does she not realize that bicardi is RUM and it's made from sugar cane?? Am I right or am I really dumb and Rum is aloud? I don't think so though...someone verify!!

    PEOPLE!!!!
    Ok...just got my frustration out.
    k Thanks sorry hehehehe

    It depends on the flavor. According to dietfacts.com Bacardi Gold Rum has 0 carbs but their Razz Rum has 3g.

        All spirits are made from sugars in various carbohydrates. Vodka is potatoes, whiskey is grains, it makes little difference. The introduced yeasts feed on the sugars and in turn excrete alcohol and carbon dioxide. So there's no sugar anymore in the clear spirits. Wine still has some of the fruit sugars tho. Count 4 net carb for a small glass of wine.

            No. you cant have bacardi until you get to the relevant rung of OWL.

                Doesn't alcohol metabolize into sugar and then stored into fat?

                    If you consume alcohol, your body burns that off first, then resumes fat-burning. So, drinking alcohol will not switch your body OUT of ketosis...fat-burning is just delayed until the alcohol is gone.

                    You have to be careful about what you EAT while you drink alcohol. It's easy to over-do it, or go off-plan (those lovely inhibitions are gone), and everything you eat has to be stored because your body is busy burning off alcohol.

                    Alcohol is legal during RUNG 5 of OWL, not before.

                    I don't drink nearly as much as I used to, maybe a drink or two per month, as it's very "rich" tasting and my tolerance is zero. Spirits are legal, as are red and white wines, and low-carb beer. Keep in mind that you need to count carbs of all alcohols you consume.

                      Yes yes thank you! Ok so I usually just drink Michelob Ultra which mind you..I won't be drinking until a month in on Atkins...and then I'll surround myself with atkins foods b/c I know ALL ABOUT drinking and eating off-plan when your buzzed. And on atkins - after 2 drinks, I'm SHOT. It's funny...OFF ATKINS? after 5 i'm shot...so atkins is great b/c it makes you a cheaper drunk LOL

                      too funny.
                      Thanks!!
                      THE BACARDI THING still threw me off
