Can I drink Alcohol?

  • Yes. “Even though there are often carbs in alcohol, you can still drink it in limited amounts,” Realize that on days when you do choose to consume alcohol, you may have to adjust your carbs from other sources, depending on the kind of alcohol you have. That may mean making tough decisions, like having a drink but skipping a small amount of fruit or Greek yogurt Spirits (enjoyed straight, without mixers) tend to be the most keto-friendly alcohol, followed by wine. You may want to halve your usual serving. Beer and wine can eat up a lot of your carbs, and they don't give back in terms of vitamins and minerals. “It’s a waste of your carb.

I would recommend, white spirits, with low calorie tonic or soda water, very few carbs in tonic, but if you want go zero carbs, 'Schweppes' is the way to go!

 Spirits: gin, rum, vodka, whiskey, 1.5 fluid ounces, 0 g carbs (1 serving)

Red Wine, 5 fluid ounces, 4 g carbs (1 serving)

White wine, 5 fluid ounces, 4 g carbs (1 serving)

Light beer, 12 fluid ounces, 6 g carbs (stick to half of a beer if this is your choice)
