 Re: On induction phase and had whisky | |
Welcome to  and congratulations for the 12 lbs lost! 
Your body will first burn through the alcohol before going back to burning fat. The time it takes for this process to complete depends on the amount of alcohol you drank, on your metabolism, etc. The best you can do is get back on track and stay away from alcohol until you reach OWL Rung 5. 
Since you are on extended Induction, I have moved this thread to the "Atkins Diet (Extended) Induction" forum.

I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.
Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
