Low Carb Beer and Atkins

So I started this low carb diet, and I like to have a few beers every night.
I started drinking low-carb Amstel Light, which only has a few grams of
carbs. I drink about 8 beers a night, which keeps me in the induction stage
of Atkins. I've been eating lots of eggs, cheese, meat with my beer, but I
have gained 9 lbs over the past week. I don't understand what is the matter.
I've limited my carbs to 24 grams per day. Has anyone experienced similar
problems? I am thinking of switching to the Zone or maybe another diet that
would let me drink more beer because Atkins doesn't seem to work.

They put on college football's most distinctive uniforms, thinking about
those before them. The walk-ons, the All-Americans, the Legends who made
sure to uphold the tradition... They are the black shoes, white helmets and
plain uniforms of one of America's most successful programs. They are
heroes, they are winners....they are Penn State football.

Switch to a steady diet of deep-fried troll. And give up the beer.

See L.A. for class
On March 21 in Los Angeles, former Celtics great (who broke the hearts
of many Lakers fans) Bill Russell had his picture on the scoreboard.
The fans gave him a long ovation.
The previous night, when it was announced that Shaq O'Neal scored his
20,000th point, the fans in Sacramento booed. Then, to make matters
worse, a the game ball was defaced, presumably by a Sacramento fan.

8 beers a night??? That is a lot of alcohol. That sounds a little like you
are on your way to a drinking problem if you can't live without beer or less
than 8. I mean, one or two...ok but 8 every night?? Do you really need that
many? Just curious. Well, if you read the book, it clearly states two
things: one, alcohol is *not* allowed on induction. Two, the liver and body
stop fat burning when there is a presence of alcohol in the system because
it has to clear off all that alcohol.
I've been eating lots of eggs, cheese, meat with my beer, but I have

Because alcohol dehydrates you but your water weight is being retained
because you are being dehydrated by the beer. It is using the water weight
as a way to stay hydrated. While you are drinking that beer, have you drank
any water? You need to drink at least 100oz. of water to get rid of the
toxins in your system.

I've limited my carbs to 24 grams per day.

On 2 week indcution, it is 20 grams, not 24. Which means you are eating a
surpluss of 4 extra grams a day, which means 28 extra grams a week. That is
why you are gaining.
Has anyone experienced similar problems?

Yeah, if you aren't careful about counting carbs, won't give up addictions
or old vices and don't follow the program correctly. It happens to everyone
who lives for addictions instead of giving them up.

I am thinking of switching to the Zone or maybe another diet that would
let me drink more beer because Atkins doesn't seem to work.

You haven't even given this one a chance. If you haven't even finished
induction, how can you say that you've given it a chance?? Please keep
trying. You just have to let your addictions go. cut out the beer for 2
weeks, and when you can drink them again, don't drink 8 of them. One or two
is enough, dude. It is hard in the beginning but you will be amazed at how
much better you'd feel.

Ah yes...the "Diet of the Week" for Norbert. Dude, if you're drinking any
beer, you ain't on Atkins. You'll never get to induction, but on the
bright side your breath couldn't get any worse than it already is.
