Hello!
well, I have been sticking to induction for 7 weeks and havent once cheated.

Last night I had a couple of glasses of red wine for my moms 60th birthday (how could I NOT have a glass or 2 with her??? )
to be honest, it tasted weird, my taste buds werent used to it at all, and it made me really realize how comfortable I am with the Atkins (love it actually!)

anyway, I guess I am wondering how hard this is on my body, to dump in the sudden dose of carb ladden sugar?... and I assume that I just continue on induction as usual, but what are the consequences? does it take 2 days to get into lipolysis again?

thanks for any feedback, love this site!

Hi Deze.......

Atkins says on page 181 of the most current version of DANDR:



So.....I guess the bottom line is (as usual), YMMV.

AFter 3 weeks on induction, i too blew it with the alcohol. (thought i blew it) Was in Lake Tahoe and just got smashed, accidently of course. Was feeling guilty as could be, thought i'd gain 10 lbs. But went back into induction/OWL and 2 weeks later, i'd lost another 2 lbs. So, the binge didn't hurt that much. This doesn't give a license
to do it but it didn't hurt me much. Drink white wine, it has virtually no carbs. Of course drink a glass of water while drinking the wine, and the vitamin supplements too. i treat myself to a couple of drinks once every 2 weeks in celebration. 3 more weeks in OWL and i was 3 more lbs. down. This REALLY works! Bottoms up!

thanks for the feedback!
good that I am still relatively ontrack... it was fun having a couple with my mom (she's awesome!)... but am I paying today... I dont so much feel an alcohol hangover, more just yucky... good to expereince this, I am sure it would be the same if I ate a bunch of other carbs... good to know how it really feels!
