[QUOTE="Dillinger, post: 273326, member: 13582"] Hi, I don't have a problem with drinking alcohol - as long as it is wine or spirits with low carb mixers. Beer is a carby killer which is a shame. The thing with falling off/throwing yourself off the wagon as far as food is concerned it will mess up your metabolism; if you are in ketosis then the body will prefer to use energy from carbs (by 'prefer' I mean it will use it first not that it 'likes' it more) and you will drop out of ketosis if you binge. Purely anecdotally I've found that where that has happened it seems harder to get back into a good ketotic stage; Atkins mentions this I think. So, you will do yourself no favours; try and avoid it - the benefits of maintaining the diet I think override the pleasures of a pizza or two. I know that it is far easier to say that than do that; we are all human but you've got to steel yourself against that tricky tempter of a disease that is diabetes. Best Dillinger [/QUOTE]
