Wow I just realized I haven't had a drink since fish fry on Good Friday. I haven't even really wanted a drink either. I used to have at least 1 craft beer every night, sometimes 4. I'm saving so much money with this way of eating lol, not getting coffee and a breakfast sandwich every day, bringing my lunch, not buying expensive beer every few days
total added bonus 0 -
@Stbarber1, that's what I mean about this way being less expensive. Those little things add up over time.!0

Yeah big time for me I would send five dollars almost every day just on my way to work.0

My daily vice was a large sugar free caramel frappe (I had fooled myself into believing it was okay since it was sugar free). That was $8 with the tip! Don't miss them, at all!0

Omg my mom gets the large sugar free iced coffee, even those are pricey, I told her she can buy that syrup and make it at home probably save enough to buy a Ferrari lol0

Me 2! Glug Glug- and on low carb it def hits harder, alcohol making carb cravings go up so I always make sure I have gluten free back up snack so I don't go hay wire aaaand sometimes there's another Glug Glug in there too...0 -
My favorite alcohol indulgence is tequila + coconut lacroix + a little bit of margarita/lime crystal light...it's a great margarita substitute. Otherwise I'm a vodka seltzer girl. Or a dirty martini.
This is the start of my second time around on low carb (I unfortunately fell off the wagon a couple years ago...I regret it tremendously)...but when I was on track the first time, I did notice two things when I drank. 1. I'd have a stall and maybe put on a pound or two. And 2. my will power was shaky. Most of the time I'd stick with drunkenly snacking on low carb food, but I'm sure I still went above on calories due to mindlessly eating.0 -

The body sees alcohol as a poison and processes it first. Then it works on carbs, etc. So the delay makes sense for a stall. And for every drink you have, you should have an extra glass of water. Alcohol dehydrates you on top of everything else.
Willpower is finite and inconsistent. I don't depend on it. I depend on determination. Acting like I've already succeeded makes it easier to succeed for some reason. I don't know why it works...0 -
Fireball whisky on the rocks.0

Nothing worse than a reformed anything. My Dad is particularly bad with the cigarettes. He used to smoke 2 packets a day, now if he sees someone having a cigarette he carries on like they've murdered someone.
If you like a couple of drinks at the end of the week - alot of people who are NOT alcoholics do - then you could try red wine. I like a couple of glasses of red ON OCCASION and it has never thrown me out of Keto or caused any issues. If it was more than a couple, or every day, then it would be a problem I'm sure.0
