Another question for you guys: what happens if you get out of ketosis
for a day on your induction? Say if you drink beer or something...?
Is that a big setback or easily corrected by another couple of days?

Perhaps if you can't go without a beer for 2 weeks of induction, you
should be in another support group.

Actually, it is quite possible to drink alcohol on a very low carb
diet (I don't know about "Atkins" per se) and lose weight. Just be
aware that alcohol does have 7 calories per gram.

I normally make drinks from vodka and some artificially sweetened
mixer such as Crystal Light, or rum and diet Coke, but there are
several low carb beers and malt liquor drinks available.

For beer, I like Aspen Edge or Rolling Rock's Green Light. Avoid
Michelobe Ultra - it has no flavor. For malt beverages try Thin Ice
or MIke's Light Lemonade.
