For those of you onthe keto diet, and that drink! Did you have to cut out all alcohol before seeing weight loss progress? Switchto a different kind?
I am doing everything right (I think). Except the wine. I love a good glass of wine every few days after dinner. Should I quit? I can, I just really love it. I also really love sweet wines or semi sweet wines. I can’t drink reds, it gives me a stomach ache.

Alcohol and any sugars in the wine will be metabolized first in your system and effectively stop fat metabolism for a period of time. Drier wines have less sugar. You should count the carbs and see what your body does with it.
Tolerance may be lower because the body will prioritize metabolizing the alcohol.
I don’t drink alcohol at all but many people find it’s hard to fit into a keto lifestyle from what I’m seeing.

Yeah, Alcohol and weight loss do not go together real well. Can you abstain for awhile?

You will see better results without alcohol. Alcohol contains sugars and sugars and Keto don't go together  |

Yeah you kind of do, I gave it up for 6 months and lost 45 lbs. I try to keep my drinking to a minimum now and if I do I have something low carb, vodka and a naturally flavoured sparkling water. On occasion I have had one glass of wine with dinner, but not often.
It's about changing your habits.

I drink Mich Ultra when I go out- I don't usually drink at home. This has nothing to do with drinking, but have you tried these egg white thins? I found them at Walmart and even though they are thin, they are good! Almost makes you think you're eating bread. |

I enjoy drinking. I cut out ALL alcohol and my beloved day dates with my husband when I am being strict. Alcohol and weight loss do not mix well.

I have a friend who started keto because of type 2 diabetes and she has lost a ton of weight and drinks wine all the time. I was surprised.

My keto friend drinks vodka with seltzer. But she has to be careful if there's food around because once she has a drink she starts to cheat on her eating plan.

The WM in Little Rock has some really tasty choices. I need to look into what is in them. I might be able to incorporate them into W30 or Paleo wraps. Thank you!! |
