    atkins diet weight loss v's CD...

    Shhhh !! I have to admit I have had the odd atkins style cheat and so far stayed in ketosis. I know my weight loss hass not been fatastic to date but feel that is probably due to the rather large quantities of alcohol i drank on my weekend away :jelous::eek:;)

    Questions about AAMW

    Hi jessi, Not sure about balsamic as it has a high sugar content and may affect your ketosis. I know it wasn't allowed on atkins. Maybe one of the CDCs will tell you for sure.

    Hi all, I use the bottles of evian with the sports nozzle. Its 3/4 of a litre so i just keep refilling. Maybe it's the same principle as straws, in that you take in less air. Anyway works for me. I do drink my shake with a straw though and for some reason this makes it taste better !!!!
