Then I mysteriously leveled off and have been there ever since, even while still on the diet. Yeah, no drinks on the diet sucks, as I think the more I drank contributed to the diet being less effective. I didn't drink high calorie drinks, but the book says that the mere presence of alcohol in the system slows or stops the ketosis, so that's probably it. But I have to say I haven't felt better on any other diet. Less hungry, plenty of energy.
