WEll I had nothing the first 3 weeks on Atkins, then, I now have a bit of red wine, maybe once a week or so, It has not effected me.P.P. says it's o.k.

However I really think that during induction, if you want to see results, then stick to it, no cheats, no beers low carb or otherwise.

Just in the short time I've been on this forum, I can see a pattern of some people saying they've done nothing on the diet so far, then read a little further and sure enough they are'nt following the diet, and have confessed to have some cheats, so of course you will be disapointed in the results.

I think once someone has done the induction to the letter, then it's fine to try a drink now and then, then judge it for yourself, it seems like it really effects people very differently.

As for the Martini, that might be one of the best choices
