Alcohol

I'm just starting the atkins diet and i love to drink boose. If i drink once or twice a week do you think this is gonna kill the diet. Can anyone help?

Re: Alcohal

The Atkins Diet Bulletin Board follows the Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution.2002
According to that book, alcohol is not allowed on Induction. You may, however add it at Rung 5 of the Ongoing Weight Loss Ladder.

So it is useless to comment as to how "booze" a few times a week will or will not hurt you. It is simply not allowed on Induction. If you are going to drink at this time, then you are not following Atkins.

Hang in there for a while.


PS I love a few drinks, too, but I like following Atkins properly, and losing weight better.

Re: Alcohal

sometimes you have to give things up for a better you , 3 years ago i would drink a litre of scotch on a friday and probally the same on a saturday,then i started doing karate on a friday night so stopped drinking friday ,but still every saturday id have a bottle then last year after drinking loads over xmas i decided id have a whole month with out drinking (which i did ) and it felt good i did more at the weekend than i did before no hangover or feelings of i didnt want to do anything ,then i started atkins last october and stuck to the rules of induction to the letter (no booze ) what my point is that just try it even just try doing it for the first couple of weeks you might be shocked that you like not drinking i know i did ,i just realised that drinking loads of drink and sitting on my arse didnt go with the goals i wanted ,i do drink sometimes but the gaps between my drinks are still getting bigger and bigger so far this year ive drank twice which is a **** of a lot better than twice a week a few years ago )))))) BE STRONG AND JUST TRY IT
