Hello all!

I have recently started eating low carb as of a couple of weeks. I feel better and think I have lost some weight, but also started working out pretty intensely as well.

I have had no problems with the low carb diet as I love most everything I can eat and don't miss (yet) too much.

My questions are with regards to the necessity for the strict "induction" phase before seeing results? I can pretty much eat like the induction phase calls for, but is that really necessary to start losing weight? I have drastically cut back on my carbs, but still like my glass of wine or two in the evening especially after basically only eating meat, cheese, salads all low carb stuff all day. Does my couple glasses of wine negate the day of eating very low carb all day. Another way to ask may be does it matter what kind of carbs I eat during the day as long as I stay say under 50g? I don't know what the right number for me is yet, just using that as an example.

Thanks for your thoughts!
