Booze!

I'm reading and rereading my Atkins book and it says that gin, whiskey, vodka etc have NIL net carbs?? Does this mean I could have some.....for free!?!?
Wine is my real favourite but if the spirits come for free I could be tempted! What are your thoughts there?

Yep nil carbs in clear spirits, just make sure any mixers are diet ones.

Dry wines are good too but do contain some carbs. I've had most of my Atkins journey sponsored by red wine! x

LOL! Yes, I know it's hard to believe, but spirits are zero carbs. They are also totally empty calories though - so worth watching for the first while - your body will metabolise alcohol in preference to fat, it's easier, but that then halts the fat-burning process.

Absolutely trolleyed - I'm trying to concentrate on a long haired woman talking about Pompeii - but hiccuping and wishing to listen to Kylie

Some people manage really well drinking on Atkins but even just sticking to spirit and diet mixer I find that my weight goes up by a couple of pounds - not that it stops me though - just cut down during the week to allow for the weekends

If I drink I gain. Only way to stop the gain is to stop the drink. It's soooo not fair!
