This question gets asked a LOT!

The answer is basically this... alcohol is not allowed on Induction. After two weeks you can move into Phase 2 (OWL). In OWL women are allowed one drink (one 6oz glass of wine or one ounce clear spirit [nothing sweetened like coconut rum] with a diet/sf mixer) per day. Men are allowed two drinks. You should know that alcohol suspends weight loss. Your body will metabolize the alcohol first... and then go back to fat burning. So while you're drinking you're putting weight loss on "pause". If it's worth it to you to include alcohol in your diet, then you'll just have to accept that it will effect your weight loss. I have an occasional glass of white wine. Does it slow my weight loss? Probably. But it's something I'm willing to accept and deal with.
