Results vary greatly among posters. My body's response seems to be dictated by time of day (the earlier I drink, the better).

You know, you might feel less defensive about some of your choices if you identify your plan as "generic" instead of "Atkins". Just a thought, and best wishes.

If you are a drinker, just keep in mind that the body will burn alcohol first as its preferred choice of fuel before stored body fat. I don't think that was mean. That's just physiology.

I lost, and am losing, weight while drinking....I didn't even slow down. I understand that the body burns off the alcohol first. I usually stick to vodka and club soda, but I've also overdone it on sugar filled margaritas and sweet shots once in a while. But I'm losing inches (I dont weigh regularly) at a steady rate :) But sometimes even a smallest thing will cause a stall for some people, thankfully my body tolerates my downfalls :)

I am losing painfully slowly and it's probably because I have my little drinkies. You know what? This is a lifestyle -- my lifestyle. I feel better, I look better, I have more energy. I choose to eat less and drink a little more. We gotta live. :lol: What's weird for me is that I have more of a craving for my dry red wine and my bourbon drinks than I did before I started low-carbing. Any thoughts on this?

You know...I was drinking a couple of low carb Mich Ultras each night last week while "on plan" otherwise and was dropping weight. The last couple of days I decided not to have any at all because i figured it was slowing me down. Now I'm not losing at all - I even gained a pound.......
