DYK I'm not a drinker -- too much alcoholism in my family so I abstain.


However, here are the "rules"


Any wine is allowed in phase 2. Just be sure that it is not a blend of wine and juices and sugar (like sangria).


Here's some information you may find of interest:


Drink Up!

Planning on having a couple of drinks to celebrate the holidays? No problem. According to Dr. Agatston, one or two glasses a day of alcohol (except beer) is okay beginning in Phase 2. Just make sure you drink during or right after a meal, since a stomach full of food will slow the absorption of alcohol into your bloodstream - and keep your blood sugar levels steadier. And, of course, you'll want to avoid sugary mixers like fruit juices and regular tonic (opt for diet tonic instead).

Still, not all alcoholic beverages are created equal, since some contain more natural and added sugars than others. Here's a look:

Enjoy, in moderation (limit 2 servings daily):



  • Red and white wine (one serving = 3-4 ounces)
  • Champagne (one serving = 3-4 ounces)
  • Vodka (one serving = 1 1/2 ounces)
  • Gin (one serving = 1 1/2 ounces)
  • Rum (one serving = 1 1/2 ounces)
  • Bourbon (one serving = 1 1/2 ounces)

Avoid:



  • Beer
  • Brandy
  • Port wine
  • Liqueurs (including Kahlua, Bailey's, Amaretto, schnapps, etc.)
  • Sherry
  • Wine coolers (often contain a lot of added sugar)

I think it may count as a sweet treat, but someone will have to confirm that one. :)
