I just looked up MGD 64 (beer) and it only has 2 carbs per bottle. Why can you not have this on atkins induction if you stay well under the 20carbs allowed a day.......I work my tail off at the gym and I cannot make it through Memorial weekend without beer!

    Not sure, maybe the alcohol keeps you out of ketosis?

    I like to have a beer every now and then.
    I say its a holiday, enjoy yourself within reason.

    You're correct - alcochol affects ketosis.

    I suppose, alcohol is burned BEFORE, fat, carbs, etc. Makes sense. Although, I suppose, if I have to pick a beer, MGD64 is probably one of the lower carb, lower calorie options. Better than a rum and coke! :drinker:

    Yep, or red wine is good too for keeping you in ketosis! Although if you're only on Induction I would take it easy on the alcohol - you might get a bit swirly after less than you're used to!
