Default Re: alcohol...

I'll get flogged for this, but...I drank on induction my first time around, and was still very happy with my results. Like you said, I did the no carb route - vodka and club soda or diet coke.

I know it's against the rules and I'm sure you do get better results if you can go without it entirely. One thing to be cautious about is that once you have a couple drinks you may be tempted to sneak in a couple other forbidden foods or drinks - don't do that! Like super said the alcohol itself won't knock you out of ketosis, it may just impede your progress.

Good luck!
