Atkins Diet Quick Hits - Can I drink alcohol?
Atkins Diet Quick Hits - Alcohol One of the questions I get quite often is can I drink during Induction or at all on Atkins. This question is probably least hard for me to answer as I have given much of alcohol except for maybe a couple times a year. With that, during Induction you definitely should not drink alcohol. It is only 14 days long, and certainly you can last 14 days without drinking. Why? The same reason we restrict everything else in Induction -- get you back to a simple diet or platform to readd foods, drop in ketosis, and start a new way to eat. Some people can drink and lose weight still, but for others, it is a source of much trouble. Two reasons this can happen: * all alcohol must be consumed for fuel first before burning anything else which can last up to a hour and half per drink. So no fat burning while you are drinking alcohol. * Alcohol can lead increased hunger and decreased resistance to cravings. Wait 'til OWL phase, and figure out if you can add it back without gaining weight. If you can lose and drink, make sure your selection are low carb options. Figure out up front what and how many so you'll know how long you will be off fat burning.
