Fake channel, milk? full of lactose a sugar, fruit juice full of fructose another dangerous sugar, get educated on diabetes dumb arsehole, they both spikes blood sugar and worse are stored in liver as fat causeing Fatty liver disease.
Rum is LOADED with sugar. Do not drink rum if you want to be in ketosis (with or without Diet Coke)
Hey. Even I have a video on diabetes. Please head to my channel for it ❤️
I suggest You use the guide on dietbook.best,you have to be serious too
The Aldi Hard Seltzer are da bomb, but why do I get so buzzed sooo quick on Keto?
Does anybody know if screwball peanut butter whiskey had carb or sugar?
Great Video clip! Excuse me for the intrusion, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you heard about Franaar Quit Diabetes Formula (do a google search)? It is an awesome one off product for Getting rid of Diabetes minus the headache. Ive heard some decent things about it and my friend Sam got cool success with it.
Hey Tom! A video on which kinds of keto foods are best to have before a night of drinking would be super helpful! Also any other tips, is drinking less disruptive to ketosis while fasted or fed?
Craft beer is my keto weakness. I’m a home brewer too, so that doesn’t help when I’ve got a keg of awesome stout yelling at me from the tap.:-) I do want to try to brew a “brut” style IPA.
Very informative babe. Lots of options on keto. You look amazing.
Just to top it all off alcohol is a depressant, as if we need more of that in western society today. Stay away from it, your mind or body don’t need it ������
hey for a diabetic do you think an 8 minute and 23 seconds mile time is Amazing
Please do a video on Kratom and Keto. Does Kratom affect ketosis?
You guys should talk about how you cure your Keto hangover… omg are they the worst, I literally can’t function the next day the life has been sucked out of me, and I have intense burning inside ��
coke stevia is really good, way better tasting than zevia cola. Zevia rootbeer is good though
I was also wondering about ackohol…Lol! But, hey, I give her much respect for making the video and it does have a lot of great information. ������
Perfect Sir! My new drink vodka and soda water w lemon/ lime but im going to add 1 Tb. of gingerale
MOST PEOPLE DOING THE KETO DIET ARE RECOVERING ALCOHOLICS AND ADDICTS WHO CAN’T CONSUME ALCOHOL
So I’m a binge drinker.. I wonder if I can have lots of straight whiskey and still stay in ketosis?
Love keto i also agree thats whyi i did keto because i love my booze ha ha P.S you would make a great keto barmaid
Ok, I loved Megah’s face throughout this video. She just kept smiling. It was great!!
If I’m gonna drink it’s gonna be Guinness once a month or so and I am going all in on it, I’m not drinking pee water and calling it beer.
Went to Sprouts the other day and saw that Zevia now has a Tonic mixer.. whoop!!
He’s right about getting buzzed faster, I’m 6’ 2” and weigh 247 and normally I don’t even feel a buzz until several beers and a few shots but Friday night I drank one 16 oz. Coors Light after work and felt a buzz. I was very surprised, unfortunately that only encouraged me to go full out. Big mistake. I had 3/4 of a fifth of Jack Daniels, straight. Also had about 7-8 Coors lights and I held me own all night and never had the spins or got sick but the next day I felt like I was run over by an 18 wheeler! That was my once a week night. See you next Friday night Ol Pal Jack!!
experimenting now too.. because low carbs and veggies is my new life style for many years now and I don’t want to go back to diets when you struggling to prohibit eat something you like but at the same time I dont want to give up my champagne and beautiful California wineries.. but for those people who need loose hundred pounds please dont drink at least for a month.. your liver and whole body need to restart..
I did water with a drink mix packet and tequila. It was fine for me�� I drank 3
So I’m a beer drinker. does that mean if I want to do this diet that I have to get rid of it completely. I’m thinking just drinking a six pack once a week.
Check out this comprehensive blog post on alcohol options on keto: https://www.ketoconnect.net/keto-alcohol/
Got it keep to the hard stuff….. YO is all good Ireland carry on ��
I am on keto. I am watching this while sipping my Gordon gin with soda and lime.
Alcohol will drastically slow down your weight loss on keto. It will also make you crave food. Don’t do it.
Me3 double whiskies and water on a Tuesday night out. That’s my tipple and I will not change that. But I do OMAD three days a week and normal keto on the rest. One month in and one stone lighter. Blood glucose down to 5.8 from 8.9
Great video! I love vodka and diet tonic with a splash of berry Gatorade zero or Truly’s, they only have 1 gram of sugar versus the white claws have 2 grams of sugar
Experimenting now. Whiskey once a week. Love the way my brain functions on Keto, but also love the sweet escape of whiskey. Hopefully I can manage both?
irish coffee with stevia instead of syrup is the way to go. can even do a bulletproof irish coffee
Your videos are so good Thomas. I’m learning so much and actually managing to keep up IF and keto.
Fun video. The most popular keto drink is probably the vodka soda, which is vodka (can be a cheaper brand since you’re mixing it), club soda, ice, a squeeze of lemon or lime. This is super easy to make at home in a tall glass, and every bar on earth will also know this drink, although bars will usually serve in a short glass so you drink it down more quickly and then order another lol.
Just got my Palo 61 yesterday cant wait to try it! i like almost all of the hard seltzers!
good explanation on how many Calories are in the different types of alcohol ������
Thank you for this info. I needed this info for when I go out with friends. ����
I’ve been on Keto for 2 months now and didn’t drink for the first month. When I started drinking, I was literally only taking tequila shots, nothing else. Never affected my Ketosis as I still maintained high fat in my diet. I suppose it could be also down to the fact that I didn’t go overboard with the drinking.
great video. Im in the UK. I have just done 3 day beef & butter fast. and am well back into keto. not drinking just now and have dropped 5 lb, but I like to have a drink usually vodka or gin or Jack, and low cal mixer. or just on the rocks. thankyou for the insight, I was beginning to think I was the only Keto nut who liked a drink…..and you look great too.
What about whiskey cause I dont really like vodka tequila or gin
Just saw this video! Thank you so much for making this. Im thinking about trying the keto diet but I am a Saturday drinker and this video definitely help. Btw what a badass bar in your house!!!
Woodford Reserve. ���� is it me do you guys sound slightly sloshed?����
What do you think about diet sodas and aspartame? Vodka/Rum & diets any problem health wise? Thx
Loved the info! Your voice is great for YouTube. It also helps that you look beautiful as well! You seem like a fun laid back person which makes the videos relaxing and enjoyable.
I recently looked up my favorite beer and it has 64g of carbs per flipping bottle!!! It made me very sad.
I switched from a good beer but it had 16carbs to corona premier 2 carbs. It’s still beer. I think. Lol.
He always says it’s quite simple but then that’s the only simple thing that he says
Michelob ultra is my keto beer. 2.6 grams of carbohydrates per 12oz beer.
how come her hair is not done she looks like a homeless woman, come on you guys have such great knowledge but your shabiness is distracting from your message get a colour and cut dont be a bevacouf
I agree with your stance on beer. Drink something you enjoy. Low carb beer is very unsatisfying even with a buzz…
I think when you’re doing keto and you drink alcohol your body will burn the alcohol first before anything else, hence fat burning. But when in Rome REEDS zero ginger beer and vodka make a great Moscow Mule!
I’m a type 1 diabetic and I drink regular soda. I usually give myself insulin for it or I exorsize. Never had a problem doing it
One question, Thomas. How about alcoholfree beer? You might have covered it already,but I can’t find much info about it. I have tried keto and omad for a couple of months and lost over 10 kg and it feels great. However, it’s getting hard to maintain ketosis and the days of intermittent fasting is getting fewer. I also find myself with nuts and alcohol free beer a few times a week and wonder if I’m ‘shooting myself in my feet’. I’m one of those who have lots of motivation for a few weeks, but then I start to struggle. So I guess my question is kind of double, here. But I’m really curious about alcohol free beer and ketosis.
Thanks for great info, it’s been helpful. Hope for a quick answer;)
With kind regards Mathis
What if you don’t want one a day but like 3 spiked seltzer on Friday only 4.25 alcohol volume
Just picked up some Hard Kombucha from Costco and they’re zero carb!
If you’re in the UK, ‘yellow label’ (the brand with the kangaroo) has tonnes of low carb wines look for the nutrition info, lots is 0.7-1.7 grams of carb per 100ml!
White Claw with vodk or rum depending on the flavor of White Claw
Could give up all carbs on keto but there is no sub for a proper IPA. Limit it to 2 and go no carb you can keep the carbs to around 30g 40g for the day.
What is the alcohol in setltzer? If I have more than one, my stomach is a messes. Takes me 3 days to get back into keto mode.
I do ketle one cucumber mint or orange peach blossom and diet tonic water
I was guna stop drinking but he convinced me I didn’t have to
Add a shot of vodka to a hard seltzer if you need more alcohol!
i drink truly with a shot of pineapple vodka. less than 3g of carbs per drink
Corona Seltzer and Smirnoff Red, White and Berry are both good.Truly is not bad either. Stay away from the Bud Light Seltzer though. Not the greatest. There are a few others that are just ok.
Kahlua has 33 gm of sugar/carb per 2.5 oz serving, and is 20% ABV.
None of this works for me, tried most of them, does not work for an alcoholic like me. 220 lbs. down from 256 lbs 70 yrs. old. Like your videos.
“If you wanna go hard, energy drinks and alcohol will get you where you wanna go”
I have 2-3 shots of Amsterdam Vodka which is 80% distilled only once or twice and only on the weekend and I get a cool buzz after the 2nd lol. Plus Thomas is right, the buzz goes away faster. Doesn’t really affect my results so why not ����♂️
I go with the miller light 3 net carb, Merlot 4 net carb, and dirty martine 0 carbs.
so hard liquor is softer on the liver than beer? in regards to what? when you say harder hangover, that would be harder taxes on the liver, so how is liquor better.
The advantage of consuming less is you can afford the good stuff! Triple distilled Glenlivet has been a favorite of mine for years!
Looks like you did your due diligence and sampled before the video:-)
Amaretto is 40% does it have sugar? There isn’t nutritional information on the bottle.
Tbh, I don’t know why I’m watching this as a 19-year-old in the USA. I guess I’ll be prepared by the time I’m 21. ��
My first month of my keto journey, I cut the alcohol. All alcohols. That launched my loss pretty well. I’ve got another 10 pounds to go, so I’m going to probably do another dry month (or more) to get those last pounds off.
That is very important information!! Being in ketosis years ago I went to dinner with colegues and had a couple of beers and a shot of vodka ����
I went though the worst night of my life! ��
I didn’t have this information on time… So one and never more! ��
Has anyone tried Clean-Crafred wInes from Scout & Cellar? They are like Dry Farms but they do curate some of their own wines, of course imports some wine. A lot to choose from��
Milk Thistle is very good for the liver and kidneys. I’ve cut down on beer quite a bit, only have 2 or 3 a week. Instead I drink vodka and seltzer, no carbs. And a shot of whiskey here and there.
Don’t know when this video came out but then recently introduced corona premier Which is very good
I’m going to make cocktails tonight with white claw or Corona Seltzer as the mixer!
Don’t fall into the White claw trap! Try Crook and Marker zero net carbs and the BEST flavor (and I’ve tried a lot of hard seltzers). Bon & Viv is also really good.
I want to try that wine. They need to ship to Michigan ASAP!
I live in Michigan and they don’t ship to Michigan so sad ����
I drink nightly 4 or 5 beers. I eat one meal a day. Mostly all meat and cheese. Maybe around 1500 calories per meal. I have lost zero weight. I am exactly where I started after several weeks. Same as when I was binging on junk food. So alcohol is bad for my keto.
Excuse me! I’m 40 and still need drinking games!!! �������� Also, my drink of choice: Jaeger meister!
Thanks for the info… Since it was “S”aturday, I sipped on a few Jack Daniels over ice last night while hanging out with the wife. I found out what you mean about cheap date… LOL… I used to love my Lagunitas Hop Stoopid 22oz bombers and was horrified when I found out that ONE 22oz bomber has 50g of carbs!!! Holy hell… I guess I’ll have to try the Corona Premier in a few weeks.
Perhaps I didn’t scroll down enough to see if this was answered but what about cooking with red wine?
What if you don’t eat anything all day to save your calories for the liquor, drink straight hard liquor like vodka with no other sugars added, control your urge to binge eat, and only have like 4-5 shots so like 500 calories for the whole day (that’s all I need to get drunk), maybe once a month to once every 2 months. Is that fine to keep losing weight? Specifically that day even, I ask cause I know if I only have 500 calories that day I’m still obviously in a deficit, but I know alcohol stops fat burning. Also how long does the inhibiting of fat burning last? Like should I wait 48 hours until I can expect to burn fat again?
M&M y’all have to check out the “Boozy Ketones” these 2 gals are adorable, they make simple syrups and keto friendly drinks with Swerve!! WHAT!! Check em’ out!
Rum with the new Cherry Vanilla Coke Zero tastes like toasted marshmallows. It’s so good.
Using your favorite flavor of hard seltzer as a mixer with liquor and lime is a great way to double up. Black cherry seltzer and bourbon and cranberry seltzer and vodka are my favorites so far.
1 cup of red wine? Also our ancestors used to have wine to have a better digestion. Everybody talks about “back to basics, well….then paleo diet… equal, red wine. Always keeping everything moderate of course
My go-to is TopoChico mineral water with Camerena Reposado tequila and lime. Yummy!
Thank you! I needed this video. I have been avoiding social activities where alcohol is present for months now. This information makes me feel confident that I can go out have a drink and not reverse all my keto gains��������
GOD! The antioxidant in red wines is just a joke! I’m going to be a monk! >
Why would you want to live longer if can not drink regular coke? I drink 5x220ml can of REGULAR coke daily since college, 5-10 bottles 620ml 5% pilsener beer (quit 5 yrs ago after my 5 yr old daughter would not talk to me), vaping 15mg nic from chain smoking 2×20-pack cigs daily, born in 72 h 165cm w 80kg, yearly blood general checkup numbers are perfectly normal, once every 2-3 years catch cold.
For me, vodka ceases ketone production for 1 to 2 hours per drink. Even something like whiskey pauses for hours. Maybe 4. If you drink more than once a week, I’d go for vodka. Just based on my own research according to MY body.
Sour Monkey is very good! I stick to the Corona Seltzers now though. They are zero carb.
I bought a mixed flavor pack of the Corona hard seltzers, tastes like very watered down Corona with a hint of fruit flavoring. The only White Claw that I’ve tried so far is the mango flavor, and I like it tastes pretty good. As far as keto friendly beers, I’ll keep Mich Ultra in the fridge. Liquor generally is either a corn whiskey or a vodka with diet ginger ale. That’s keto drinking anyway.
I am a whiskey girl is there any whiskeys I can have seagram’s 7 is my favorite
I loooove vodka with cranberry Bubly and fresh squeezed lemon!!
So I drink bourbon and water a lot, but what I sadly learned from Dr. Fung is that alcohol, even if it has no carbs, it does spike your insulin. So apparently, if you over indulge, it can create carb cravings later (and maybe some other effects I forgot about).
Being type 1 diabetic I literally can’t drink anything else but black unsweetened tea and water.
Lolol I loved this video. It’s like it’s NYE or college! I’m a re wine girl. I’ve got two boys at home who make me want to drink more during this pandemic.
Hey Guys great vid! where did you get the low carb wines? I checked the blog but did not see a site…thanks!
Check out Dr. Hops Kombucha Beer, the carbs are a little high but they’re a yummy treat forsure! & they have a higher alcohol percentage ��
Also try FitVine. Literally the best keto wine!
Great tips Karen. I don’t drink but people are always asking me about liquor and beer������
When you’re studying to be a nutritionist and finally everything this guy is saying is starting to make sense!!! ������
Keto: tequila lemon juice fresh squeezed and monk fruit= keto yum
Ok..here’s two for you to respond to. Let me know if you make a video on these.
Can I use my homemade Kefir and HOme brewed Kombucha on Keto??
I’ve look up one of the local beer here (San Miguel Light Beer 330ml 107 kcal) thru MyFitnessPal and it said that it’s only 3 net Carbs. Do you think this is reliable?
what do think about snappy tomato juice 70 cal and 2 shot of tequila 200 cal. 270 total across 4 hours
I drink 1 to 2oz of Straight Gin Daily and I strictly obey my calorie defieciet. I need to lose 10 to 30 lbs. Is my drinking going to severally postpone my weight loss goal?
Naaaah me and keto are doing great together! I prefer weed.
Thanks man_ trying to do better _ water and lemon is goodbut not all of the timejust got to keep staying focusedthanks againb
I don’t believe it stops fat burning for 24 hours. A shot of whiskey, my favorite drink, is about 90 calories and zero carbs. Your liver has to deal with the alcohol first. Your body has to deal with any and all digested calories. Once burned, including any carb calories, your body then has to return to fat burning. Assuming a Keto diet, you don’t have a lot of carb calories to deal with and just the 90 calories from the whiskey. Assuming you maintain weight say at 2500 calories a day, you will burn that drink in one hour, not 24. �� PS: I can drink 3 oz a day and still burn plenty of fat within 24 hours. Drink!!!
Great thanks for the information, this just means my ketosis has been on pause for 15 years. Haha
This is why weed should be legal.. I wouldn’t be looking at what alcoholic beverages to consume. I’d just smoke a little and call it a day.. thanks ‘merica. I can have a toxin but I’m not aloud to smoke something that covers and protects fat with zero hangover or damage ��
I started keto a month ago, nowadays I feel like Thomas is like a dad, uncle or big keto brother to me.
I have learned so much, I planned a cheat day today because I went in a caloric deficit for a week. And i planned to make keto pancakes, a chocolate keto milkshake and so far I just ate a huge salad and my keto bread and cheese.
I feel so satisfied and good. People always complain about diets and not having freedom, but truly guys, the only slavery is the processed unhealthy food. WHY DO YOU WANT IT?
After a whole month of keto and OMAD I don’t even see the point of having processed food on cheat days. My cheatdays now are just a caloric surplus until satisfaction without tracking my macros.
Thank you Thomas for being my keto dad!
Is Guinness maybe an exception? Low glycemic? I sometimes cheat and drink two 500ml cans with a micky of vodka no good?
If you’ve never tried Dogfish Head Slightly Mighty, DO NOT listen to this terrible review. I LOVE this lo-carb IPA. It’s not at all watery. Very satisfying!
There’s also Lagunitas Daytime IPA (4% ABV / 98 calories / 3g carb). I think I might like this one even better, but it’s probably more of a toss-up.
I refuse to be enslaved to my body whether it’s through indulgence or abstention. I am the boss of what I eat, not carbohydrates. Moderation is the key.
Thinking back to the oldies from years ago, if a woman was on a diet they would take vodka and soda water instead of vodka and orange. Or Gin and Soda instead of tonic water.
what good information thank you for sharing it. in my case I eliminated my diabetes with this natural guide: “thebigdiabetes-lie. com” (Google it)
14 lbs down first 30 days. at the end of an 18 hr fast today my K level was 1.5. broke with 2 eggs and 2 turkey bacon. 2 hrs later had 3 slices of restaraunt made cauliflour crust pizza with pepperoni, mushroom, and feta. 2 hrs later had 3 vodka and seltzers. Ks at.2! FUCK!
Sounds and looks like you and your family have a liquid drug addiction.. I would recommend 30 days of intensive treatment.. alcohol free is the way to be.. ALCOHOL THE BIG LIE.
The NEW Corona Hard Seltzers are ZERO carbs… just don’t mix them up with Corona Refresca that has tons of carbs!
OK soo the bad news is i have been drinking “low car beer” but now i see the answer is VODKA.. so heaps of meat and fat.. not many carbs.. & vodka.. keto here i come.
Just say no to alcohol when you are on keto (assuming it isn’t permanent). Why would you not want to do your diet correctly? It builds character (says the guy that likes wine).
That’s weird I’ve been doing a self study on myself I’ve been purposely drinking vodka on the rocks my level of ketones from my machine is showing I’m seeping into keto also my weight loss has increased also I’ve been doing basically under 10 carbs a day with the intermittent fasting so I can agree on your statement.
A no carb beer alternative that I love is Hop Tea. You should check them out.
Drink on your cheat day. This is more challenging then my 20-4.
Is it possible to do keto low carbs low fat? What do I set my macros at. I have a huge sweet tooth it’s my downfall help any advise would be appreciated
As a long time pretty heavy whisky drinker. I can confirm everything he said is true. I’m an expert on the drinking side.
Bourbon and Coke Zero. You get cherry and vanilla from the bourbon with out any carbs. Stay away from bourbon Liquers like Wild Turkey Honey, Jim Beam Red Stag, etc. They all have added flavors and sugars. Straight Bourbon Whiskey, by law, isn’t allowed to have any additives or flavors.
Tonight I had 1/2 L Polish beer plus 200 mL of water and I must’ve pissed 4L of piss, So what’s that about? I cleaned my kidneys and lost 3 L or 3 kg of water weight!
I also have seen a dramatic slow down in my KETO weight loss due to alcohol. I tend to drink the darker alcohols on the rocks. I have done the Hard Seltzers in the summer and basically stick to Ultra in the fall and winter. A new one that actually has some taste is “Slightly Mighty” by Dogfish Head which has 3.6 carbs per can. Not sure if it is national but you can get it in the Northeast. You are right about it hitting you faster though. As a bartender I will tell you that regardless of diet the less sugary a drink is the less tendency you will have a hangover. So, as a mixer use the club sodas and flavored seltzers. Be careful that the flavored seltzers aren’t flavored with aspartame. I appreciate these videos and your honesty about being a drinker. Glad to see I’m not alone. Sweet bar too by the way. Thanks
It’s funny how keto police get so knit picky about every ingredient for someone else touting what is n isn’t healthy but will allow themselves to drink something obviously toxic to the liver..I’m not a drinker anyway but I think it’s hypocritical
I always felt that the hangovers weren’t as bad….perhaps because I was drinking white spirits with tonic
Just watching this video makes me want to drink…..I think I will and then pee on my keto stick and see that i’m still in Ketosis…..BAM!!!
Alcohol makes you more susceptible to cheating. Now I have to pay for a few days ��
I am sorry but calories don’t give you diabetes… control carbs and sugars and that’s it. Controlling your insulin is key.
I’ve been staying in Keto and Omad/ IF 8/24 drinking one to 3 beers ��.
this gives wrong advice on what alcohols to drink, beer contains less calories than vodka gin and even red wine
Was drinking 8-10 beers about 1,500 calories a night. Switched to vodka, 0 cal lemon flavored soda water and a splash of lemon. About 650 calories a night. Take in 600 calories a day in food on top of it now Week 2 dropped 3 lbs feel great.no more bloated feeling in the morning. Video is a little misleading,Huge difference between beer and vodka.
I lost weight in 2018 drinking Michelob ultra on the beach all summer eating berries and a few sweet potatoes. It’s all in moderation as far as these things are concerned. I’m on blood thinner so I’m not supposed to drink very much. I get sugar-free mixers and I have 1 to 2 drinks and that’s it on rare occasion. And I’m not a spring chicken I’m 61 years old I was really never much of a drinker but man are you right about the metabolism of alcohol. After I got on the blood thinner I found out I could drink a lot and it would like just go away and I never got a hangover. And I’m the same way now if I had two margaritas I get a quick buzz and then I’m done
Most brands have “diet” tonic water! My go to cocktail is a Manhattan 2oz whisky 1oz sweet vermouth 1 maraschino cherry, 6 carbs total!
What about low carb beer like pure blonde and pure blonde organic?
My favorite is Diet Cranberry mango juice w Titos Vodka,ice,lime & a dash of Takin chilie powder…mmm good stuff try it
Haven’t had a beer since I started keto over 6 weeks ago. And I really like beer a lot, but oddly it’s been easy to do. If I drink, (which is less than once a week) I stick to my old favorite JD #7. I mix it with the water that melts off off the ice. One of those and I’m pretty much done. Can’t really consume what I used to, which is really great, BTW. I’m down 15 pounds in 6 weeks and almost 30 since the beginning of the year (pre keto…that loss was just being carb conscious and walking 4 miles a day).
Ever since the lock down began I have focused on bringing my health up to the next level. Having done Keto for years that meant going strict carnivore for one and also no alcohol at all. The result has been a marked increase in health, athletic performance, weight loss, improved digestion, and much, much improved sleep. I’ve decided that while I love alcohol, it does not love me, and I don’t want to take the hit from it anymore. Others may feel different no worries, but just sharing my own personal progress.
You may want to go back and look at your Nov 29, 2015 Befit video where you are in a vineyard in Sonoma telling folks that resveratrol in red wine increases your performance 21% then fast forward back to this one where you call red wine’s antioxidant benefit a “joke”. I guess red wine and the reserveratrol ship has sailed. On to new snake oil.
Might check out my review of a keto friendly wine from Fit Vine. It is a brand that is readily available and should be at most large wine retailers near you.
As a amateur wine and whiskey reviewer, I had to cut out all wine when I started my keto journey for the first three months. After that, I had no problem losing the weight while consuming either distilled spirits or wine.
Also, the drier a wine is, the less residual sugar that will be in that wine.
I have a breathalyzer that I use to make sure that I am never over the alcohol limit when I drive. However, I have noticed that since I have been on a Keto diet, even when I haven’t had a drink of alcohol, I am over the limit on my breathalyzer. I am concerned that this could cause some issues if I ever get pulled over by the police and they breathalyze me. Does anyone have any experience with this? Despite not wanting to quit Keto, I am genuinely considering forcing myself out of Ketosis to avoid any potential issues with the law.
Got my answer, Thank you Thomas and honestly my hangover are so bad now that I’m in keto that I’m quitting drinking I feel horrible every time I get a drink ����♀️
Does that mean if ur keto u can drink ” diet drinks ” ( im not talking about alcohol here) surely it interferes with insulin? Im i being too strick, i also do IF too, down 12lbs in 25days
Thank you for your I knowledge! I started keto about two weeks ago and I simply cant stop watching your videos! They have such amazing quality information! I just adore you!
This was great, thanks, been searching for “can’t sleep stopped drinking?” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across Baanubrey Illustrious Breakthrough (do a google search )?
It is a great one off product for discovering how to quit drinking minus the normal expense. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my cousin got great results with it.
