Convinced the battery in my scale was surely dying, I replaced it. Then
I dragged the damn thing all over the floor to find the "right" spot,
the spot where the numbers would read, "190". Inagine my dismay to
finally come to grips with the hard fact----only one pound gone in a
week.

AAAAAGGGGHHHHH.

OK. Life is full of dissapointments. I warched "Hud" on TV this
morning....and a least I didnt have to shoot all my cattle due to Hoof
and Mouth disease....so, things could be worse.

Now....my thinking was...."as long as I keep it to 20 carbs a day, it
shouldnt matter where those carbs came from."

Evidentally.....this is not true. If I've learned anything this week,
it's this:
Ya cant drink a liter of wine a day and lose weight.

But what I want to know is.....WHY?

why are wine carbs dfferent from food carbs? Where did my logic err?
What exactly is it that makes this happen? Does alcohol....stop ketosis?
Or...what?

Of course, I also did O exercise this week.

There is no such thing as a Free Lunch.
Nor a "get out of jail free" card.
Do NOT pass GO. Do not collect $200.

Color me bummed.

sigh.

Is there anything worse than the knowledge, "I did this to myself"?

Assuming you're not a silly troll, if you're drinking a liter of wine per
day you may be an alcoholic. A liter of wine represents about 6.8 "drinks"
(defined as 5 oz of wine) per day. The recommendation for women is no more
than one per day...for men, no more than two. So, you're way beyond the
recommended maximums.

There are other factors involved, but you may want to take an online test to
see if you're an alcoholic:

As for weight loss, 1 lb per week of loss is optimal and nothing to be
disappointed in. But, if you're drinking as much as you are, and not
exercising, your odds for continued success are very low IMO.

Alcohol is burned by the body before anything else, including fat. So it
doesn't matter that you stayed LC, your body was burning the alcohol for
fuel instead of fat. Give up alcohol at least until you reach your goal.

Or cut back on it and learn how to use it.....

I still drink a small amount almost daily when I come home from work.
Make up a low carb mixed drink, (or a single 12 oz. glass of DRY wine),
do my e-mail and relax.

I've lost 45 lbs. so far without giving up that nightly beverage, but
you DO have to moderate it. 1 liter per night is too much.

Sorry!

Just a thought: the rest of us have that idiot killfiled. If you didn't
quote him in your replies, we wouldn't have to see what he wrote or at least
be subject to that nasty surprise every time we opened one of your posts.

Small amount of alcohol lowers the appetite-stimulating hormone ghrelin
by 14-18%

So it's a good thing :-)

Thanks for the helpful comment, Marsha. No, I didnt read the book at
all. or any other book, actually, since about 1980.


Sarcasm duly noted.


I did order it on tape, however and am expecting it pretty much any time
now. The Library for the Blind has 11 copies---all were "out".

You were given a link to the Atkins site a few
weeks ago, which gives a list of approved items.
I'm assuming since you can read the newsgroup, you
can also read that site. If not, my apologies.
Aside from that, a bottle of wine per day would
qualify you as an alcoholic. You responded to a
post back in May that you only wanted a drink when
you were hungry, but then that "led you to
another" and so on. You shouldn't be getting
hungry on induction, and most of your carbs should
be coming from vegetables.

A standard bottle of wine is only 750ml so if she's drinking a litre a day,
that's a bottle and a quarter. As the standard serving for wine is 3.5 oz,
a litre a day is almost 10 drinks.
