I'm sure this has been mentioned many times before, but i thought i'd add my 2 cents.... STAY THE HECK AWAY FROM ALCOHOL!!! Ok, now i'll tell you how i really feel.

I have been on Atkins for one week and this Saturday i went out for a night on the town, like i always do, determined to only have a drink or two. Well, i only had two Vodka tonics and one low-carb beer, which is very little for me, and i was completely and utterly hammered!!! Literally to the point where it was difficult to walk. Is it just because i am still on induction or is this just normal for LC'ers? Only good thing that came from it was that my dancing abilities improved considerably!!! Anyway, just a heads up for those just starting Atkins.

Oh and i had one other question. I heard you are supposed to lose 10% of excess weight the first week of Atkins. That means i should have lost around 2lbs, but i have lost 6 lbs!! Is this ok? (read: healthy) Just wanted to make sure i wasn't going overboard. Thanks!
