This morning was the first time I've seen a 1 at the start of my weight in a while! I weighed in at 199.6 after an up and down weekend. Friday was 201.4, Saturday morning I was at 200.0 (although that was after a heavy drinking night on Friday, so dehydration was a factor), and 201.2 on Sunday.
For those who like to have a drink or three sometimes, the Atkins program recommends against. But if you do have a drink while you're doing the Atkins (or any other diet), here are some tips...drink wine not beer. Red wine has about 1g carbs per 4oz glass, beer significantly more. Whiskey has no carbs, but when I tried that I ended up drinking too much. (Three double Crowns on the rocks is a lot of drink). The other piece is when drinking the drink your inhibitions are down. So focus on not eating french fries, onion rings, or burgers with buns. We were at two bars Friday night and I found vegetables to dip in blue cheese, chicken wings and steak on a skewer at our happy hour buffet at the first. At the second, where we went for dinner, they had a steak salad. So even though I drank a little too much, it didn't kill my diet.
The other thing to remember is that you often will have a low weight after a night of drinking, it's because you are dehydrated, not because you lost weight!
