Keto Diet and Alcohol Talk…

I know…I know! This is like trying to talk about bananas and the keto diet. It’s controversial…I get it! The truth is you can have alcohol on the keto diet and still lose weight, BUT it has to be in moderation.

Regardless of how controversial the keto diet and alcohol are…we are going to talk about it anyway.

 

Keto Diet and Alcohol Talk

 

Ok…do you guys drink alcohol on keto? It’s a big discussion! We weren’t going to talk about this, but there was such a big discussion in our group, Low Carb Inspirations. If you’re part of the group, you saw that there was a ton of comments.

I don’t drink very much, but every now and then I like to have an acholic beverage…yes I said it! I have been on the keto diet for nearly 4 years and I occasionally like to enjoy an adult beverage with my husband (who is on keto too!)

It’s usually on a Sunday when we are just relaxing and catching up. I like Crook and Marker Pineapple and he likes Truly Watermelon Kiwi. For my husband to switch to seltzers was a big deal…he basically could have been a stockholder in the Miller Lite franchise.

With arthritis, other joint pains, and him joining me on this keto journey, he stepped away from the hops and barley. Since he made the transition on keto and seltzers, his pain has decreased a ton! He still has pain, but it has drastically reduced since he switched to enjoying the occasional seltzer at social gatherings or with me.

If you are going to have alcohol on keto, you do have to be pretty careful. You have to make sure to stay away from the sugary alcohols. These will stall your weight loss and take you out of ketosis.

Let me tell you also if you are just starting keto and you are not used to drinking, you will likely get messed up quickly, especially on an empty stomach. Whatever the amount you used to drink before you’ll probably not even come close to drinking, by about half of that.

I don’t know why, but you will get that feeling of intoxication a lot faster, especially if you’re on keto. I know I can usually throw down maybe two and if I push it three, but that’s it. To be honest, one is totally perfect for me and I don’t drink very often.
