Alcohol

[collo-collo]

Hi,

still deciding which is best for me - ie low carb or atkins once i finish my lipotrim diet.
Ive got the atkins book and im going to start reading this afternoon. 1 quick question...once past induction, what do you guys drink - and can you swap your daily leafy green carb allowance for alcohol carbs (say at a bbq for example) - miller lite beer has 3.2g carbs per bottle so this would equate to 6 bottles, or obv vokda and rum have no carbs so with a diet soft drink id assume these would obv ok to have?

cheers in advance

seriously check your carbs on diet drinks, i nearly dropped dead when my morrisons diet lemonade had 9 carbs per 250ml!

 

[MissyMustDoIt]

i have dry white,
pinot grigio, chardonnay (cheap wine too lol)
im on induction and have NEVER been able not, to have a drink or two.

you CAN have it, but be prepared, your loss could be SO much bigger if you DONT drink!

(i was prepared to miss a lb or two lol)

 

[StephenP]
