Following a Ketogenic diet still gives you plenty of latitude to indulge in a beverage or two. Here are some of Keyto’s top recommendations on drinks:<\/p>\n
Yes, in fact, you can. You just have to be careful.<\/p>\n
The first thing to remember is that just because you CAN drink alcohol on Keto, it doesn\u2019t mean you SHOULD or that it\u2019s a weight-loss aid. In fact, the more you drink, the more likely it is that your weight loss progress will slow down. This doesn’t even have to do with calories, it\u2019s because your body burns alcohol before burning anything else. So drinking alcohol will put the fat-burning process on the back burner.<\/p>\n
Avoid. There are some low carb beers that could be ok, but easier to just avoid except for special occasions.<\/p>\n
Dry white wine contains between 3-5g carbs per serving. So, you can have a glass or two and stay in ketosis. As their name suggest, sweet wines and dessert wines contain more sugar and therefore more carbs. So if you\u2019re going to drink wine on a Keto diet, go for drier varietals, such as Pinot noir, Merlot, and Chardonnay.<\/p>\n
Believe it or not pure spirits on a Keto diet are fine. Whiskey, vodka, tequila, gin, plus a few others don\u2019t contain any carbs. What makes drinking spirits on Keto so problematic are the sugary mixers that are often combined with them. The worst thing you can do is to mix your alcohol with regular sodas, fruit juice, and energy drinks \u2013 they\u2019re total sugar bombs. Go for soda water instead.<\/p>\n
Special occasions on a Keto diet can still be celebrated with the world\u2019s favorite bubbly. It\u2019s still possible to toast special occasions on a Keto diet with Champagne, Prosecco, or Cava. Some dry sparkling wines (often labelled “brut”) contain only 3 grams of net carbs per glass, which will allow you to enjoy the celebrations without the guilt.<\/p>\n
Whether you like your martini shaken or stirred, it doesn\u2019t matter. This powerful drink made out of gin, vodka or both and garnished with a twist of lemon or an olive will always remain popular. And better still it doesn\u2019t contain any carbs!<\/p>\n
When drinking, whether you\u2019re on a diet or not, it should always be done in moderation. However, it\u2019s important to note that people who follow a Ketogenic diet usually have a lower alcohol tolerance than people who don\u2019t follow it, so caution must always be taken. You can drink alcohol, but if your drinks do contain even just a few carbs, they can add up, so it doesn\u2019t mean you can drink whatever you want.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
