My favorite drink is a "Bloody Caesar".
Vodka with clamato juice.
Vodka is 67 call, 14gr carbs, 4 fat, 0 protein.
6oz of clamato is 90 cal, 20gr carbs, 0 fat, 1gr protein.
Five or six sure does throw the carbs and calories through the roof.
Feel like I gained 4 pounds last night.

Vodka is zero carb? http://www.calorieking.com/foods/calories-in-liquors-spirits-vodka-red-label-40-alc_f-ZmlkPTEwNDc0OQ.html0 -
Haha, oreos...meh, about the only cookie I couldn't give two *kittens* for. Now Dare Maple Creams, THAT'S a cookie, lol. And homemade peanut butter cookies warm from the oven.
Vodka is zero carb and gluten-free:
Carbohydrate-Free Beverage
Low carbohydrate diets continue to be very popular, but knowing what foods have no carbs isn't enough for optimal success. It is important to consider beverages as part of your daily intake, a notion that may get past many dieters.
The plain, clear variety of vodka has zero carbohydrates. However, the answer becomes a little more complicated when you consider other elements that come into play with drinking vodka while trying to stay on a low carb diet.
It is peculiar that a beverage that is derived from potatoes is carbohydrate-free, and other ingredients listed on the Absolut Vodka website are high in carbs:
Wheat
Yeast
Enzymes
How can these ingredients translate into zero carbohydrates? It appears that the carbs are removed during the fermentation and distilling processes. The vodka contains no gluten in spite of its gluten-rich ingredients because it is distilled and processed so thoroughly, according to the Absolute website.

I'm a newbie (3 weeks) but I was told no booze. Alcohol has carbs and your body treats it differently....what gives?? I'm sooooo confused0 -
Pure spirit alcohol, no carbs, but if I drink it I am much more likely to eat carbs! Most mixers have sugar or sweeteners. Wine and champagne/ prosseco are sugar transfer devices. Beer is yeasty sugary and bad news. Despite my taste for craft beers (wheat or dark) they are on my no go list. Rare exception made bi-annual basis.
I suggesr take the dodge alcohol advise. It can derail folk.1 -
I think plain vodka is zero. I was drinking the Smirnoff Lime flavoured version and the bar code scan came back with what I quoted above.
Tastes great though.

Winners are not people who never fail, but people who never quit.
All right, I'll keep Oreo binging until I like the da*n things.3 -

@midwesterner85 - Can you shed some sober light on @saltysailors ' drunken dilemma?
I can answer that from a BG standpoint - it depends on what alcoholic beverage. Most all beers have carbs, though most hard liquors have less carbs than beer or no carbs at all. Don't even think about the carbs in ciders, and all of the alcoholic beverages with carbs will spike BG (except your body does treat alcohol differently.... see below).
Normally (when sober), a person's liver is releasing small amounts of glycogen to provide BG throughout the day (not just when exercising). Your liver can't multi-task to process alcohol AND release glycogen simultaneously. In fact, it may require glucose to process the alcohol, so some of us diabetics notice a drop in BG even when the alcohol we are consuming has carbs. Personally, I don't get that - my BG will spike if I consume beer, despite that my liver stops releasing glycogen.
The challenge for those of us on insulin, though, is that we have lost our natural ability to deal with hypoglycemia. So when my BG gets too low, it is common to release some glycogen. It may take a long time and I may be low for awhile... I once passed out and had a seizure when I lived alone and was unemployed, so nobody expected me to be anywhere. I ultimately woke up without any help because of a glycogen release. EMT's (or others if available) will sometimes give those who are hypoglycemic and unconscious (i.e. they cannot eat) a shot of glucagon, which will prompt a glycogen dump. That won't work when the patient is processing alcohol.
So in summary, alcohol with carbs will spike BG and prevent glycogen release... depending on various factors, that may spike BG or these things may cancel each other out. Alcohol without carbs will temporarily prevent glycogen release. A non-T1D will create insulin to deal with those BG spikes (this will be stored as fat).2 -

Thanks for the in depth explaination! I am not diabetic, but since I am trying to get rid of fat, not store more....I'll stay away from the alcohol until I am at goal weight and on maintenance for a while3 -

According to Ketogenicdiet.org...
"How does alcohol affect ketosis?
"Alcohol does have an impact on weight loss through a ketogenic diet, even when you drink low carb or carb free alcoholic beverages. This is because the body can use alcohol as a source of fuel. It isn’t stored as glycogen, like carbs, so once it is burned off you will go straight back into ketosis, however this does mean you are losing some fat burning time when you drink. How much this affects your weight loss varies between individuals. Some people find their weight loss stalls if they drink anything alcoholic, whereas others find they can drink responsible amounts of wine, hard liquor or a low carb beer (they do exist) and keep losing weight."1 -

Almond makes the gravy a little grainy but tasty. I have to experiment with stuffing and start now so I can post a recipe that's fabulous come the holidays.
I feel like this could be easily broken down and used as a stuffing: ruled.me/low-carb-focaccia-bread/0 -
I had a chocolate lunch snack bar last night. It wasn't even any good. Shouldn't have bothered. LOL3

Perhaps, I'll get to this point at some time.....but for now I'll just stay away form it completely1 -

Ate a pint of So Delicious No Sugar Added Coconut Ice Cream.
Not horrible - 20g net carbs for the whole thing. But it does throw my carb count up (I'm usually 25g net per day) and I measured out a serving and ate it.
Then I grabbed the rest of the pint and ate it all. Ugh...0 -

At least it was a pint, and not a half gallon? :-o3
