Induction is your time to clean your system out...go through carb withdrawal, learn your routines, etc.
Alcohol can:
1)cause cravings...
2)lower your resistance to foods you are ALREADY craving if you haven't (in induction) gotten to the stage where those cravings die down
3)cause the scale to slow down because the alcohol will be utilized before anything else in your body (a slow or stopped scale is not a friend to those who need motivation and are trying to feel good about a new weightloss attempt (lifestyle).
The no alcohol on induction rule is very simply trying to help people get past the initial introduction/ adjustment period without sabotaging themselves (either psychologically or physiologically) inadvertantly by drinking.
