Am I allowed to drink alcohol on Atkins?
During Induction, you must not drink alcohol. That is because your body`s job is to burn fat, and it burns alcohol before anything else. And if it`s busy burning alcohol, it won?t burn fat. Simple as that!
During the other three phases of Atkins, you can drink moderate amounts of alcohol, but keep in mind that beer has more yeast that other alcoholic drinks, and yeast is something to be avoided with Atkins. Red or white wines are good. Also, spirits are ok, but watch what you mix them with ‚ no juice and no sugar.
