    Alcohol and Induction

    Hi there I have been on induction for 4 days. My buddies are having a party this weekend, and I know that i cannot partake in beer. I was wondering about vodka and a diet soda. I do not have the atkins book yet so just figured I'd post it out here. Thanks!

    Sorry, but the simple answer is no. Alcohol really isn't allowed til much later. However, if you decide to cheat, then I would stick with vodka and diet coke. Good Luck.

    What I know:
    1-Atkins WOE/WOL plan works
    2-I need to always work on the behaviors and triggers that make me over eat.
    3-Atkins WOL is part of the puzzle, but is not the entire thing.
    4-Self-deprecation only feeds our inner ego and not in a good way.

      Plain club soda is legal.

        You won't have to wait too long... the alcohol rung of OWL (ongoing weight loss) comes quite quickly as it isn't all that high on the ladder... depending of course how long you stay on each rung.

          Yep, I had to wait too! Just reached the alcohol rung. It won't take you too long. When you do get there you will appreciate it so much more for waiting for it. I had read when I was in induction somewhere that you have to resist urges & temptations, break bad habits. It's true.

          It helps you remember any cheating is just that, cheating!

          Sorry, it's not legal. Have fun & be the designated driver! lol

            Keep in mind too that when low-carbing the alcohol has a much quicker effect. >> "Cheap drunk"

              Also that your body will use alcohol as a preferred fuel and so suspend any likely weightloss till it is all used up as well as burnt/stored as fat the food you eat!
              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!
