Tagged As: Atkins Diet Alcohol
Question:
I was 2 weeks on the Atkins diet felt great but lost only 2 pounds - I was very strict during this time even cutting out veggies. Then I went to a wedding and had 3 alcoholic drinks - vodka and water. Then I had a severe episode of hypoglycemia - almost passed out. Has anyone else had a similiar experience? Thanks for any help you can offer.
Answer:
Ricardo, I'm also in my first period of induction and chanced an evening of a few lite beers when some friends came to town. I was also feeling very faint,dizzy, ill, even after a solid, high-protein meal. Because such meals have always satisfied me before, I believe that it is more a question of dehydration than low blood sugar. I also woke up with a *heck* of a hangover for only three beers. Regardless of the cause (some regs here might know), I suspect alcohol and induction don't mix.
