I have started my HCG injections 6 days ago. I am happy to report that I am already down 18 lbs. I have had no cravings so far to cheat in any way. I think this is the best diet ever created. I was once 442 lbs and got down to 290 on the Atkins diet. Over a few years I made my way back up to 344 when I started HCG. Now after 6 days I am @ 326 and feeling great. No urge to cheat or anything. I feel that this diet is combining low carb with low calorie which equals atkins diet on steroids. I am very greatful for it. Anyways, This coming weekend I am attending a wedding for a great friend. I will not be cheating food wise but I will be having vodka mixed with either crystal light or diet soda for sure. That mixture was great for me on the atknis diet and did not effect my weight loss at all (understanding that my actions while intoxicated occasionally did effect it lol). I will eliminate my strawberry (fruit) intake that day. Is Vodka with Crystal Light or Diet Soda my best option if indulging in some drinkypoos?

i'll admit i've had vodka with club soda.
here's the thing. i wake up the next the day and still lose, because alcohol dehydrates you.
but the next day or two you may experience a stall or loss which can take days to recover from so proceed at your own risk

I understand 100%. At this point I am just thinking of damage control. It would be easy for someone to give in to a night of high calorie beers for sure. If there is roughly 56 calories in a shot of vodka and 5 in a serving of crystal light. I am thinking that roughly 60 calories per drink (0 from sugar and 0 carbs) should be a pretty safe bet. I have also heard that clear alcohol's are your best bet. And for anyone out there, I would like to let you know that mixing vodka with crystal light tastes great. I prefer it weather I am dieting or not.

My beverage of choice is the following: 1oz vodka to 8ox plain old H2O, 1/2 packet of stevia and lemon juice. It is AWESOME!!! Very refreshing, and I stay hydrated.

Enjoy the wedding, and congrats on some fabulous losses!!!

I had whisky and diet coke 1 week into P2. I had very large whiskys too (I was at home rather than in the pub so the measures were more 'generous'!). I had 4 of them and it didn't affect my weight at all.

This Friday I had 2 of them and put on a few ounces next day, but nothing major.

The thing I found after Friday was that the diet coke left a really sweet taste in my mouth which wasn't pleasant next morning (I had brushed my teeth the night before!). It went away when I brushed my teeth that morning, but it was weird - it must have been because that was the only sweet-style thing I'd had for 3 weeks.
