Sacrifice is the only answer to weight stall

I believe the Keto diet advisers sometimes mislead people. I’ve concluded that my end of the day treat of 4-6ounces of red wine is causing me to not lose weight faster on Keto. Granted there are no carbs BUT the wine turning to sugar once in the system, stalls the fat burning system. I’ve lost some pounds but it’s been very slow ...which is atypical of Keto so I’ve been told. I have been super conscientious about what I eat and I exercise 3-4 times a week and moving up to 5x once my schedule cooperates. So, just my two cents on alcohol and Keto. I guess it depends on how fast you want to lose but my aim is a lot faster! Summer is around the corner!!!
Hi @Rougey38 - I’m also on keto - a glass of red wine typically has approx 5 carbs. Perhaps this is taking you over your macro limit...
Good luck on your progress! 🍀1 -

I factored it in the carbs but I think it’s not well metabolized in my system. Good luck to you too!11

Goood grief carbs do not make you fat nor do they stall weight loss. I was never under 250 carbs and lost over 80 pounds. Some of those junk carbs..gasp9

To each their own. For some people restricting everything under the sun seems to work for them. It's not my style.
I had a big McDonald's burger and fries yesterday. I filled a craving I was having and it fit within my overall goals. I have certainly limited certain things as part of my weight loss, but I have never had to fully give up anything.
Keto is not a magic bullet. Despite what some of its promoters will have you believe, plenty of people don't lose, and some even gain on Keto. It cannot escape the laws of physics which is calories in vs calories out. If you are eating close to your maintenence, that is why you are not losing fast. Wine has calories in it, so cutting it will make a small change in your overall deficit and slightly increase your weight loss. But there's nothing special about it.

You may be right, we all sacrificed something. I sacrifice the time I use to spend binge watching Netflix for time spent being active. I sacrifice the time I used to spend eating out for eating at home. It's a struggle but someone has to do it.

you will lose weight as you will be reducing your calories by not drinking wine...

But having fun burns calories so fun sized snacks shouldn't have calories. I've been lied to.5 -

Where's the "I love you more than words or chocolate can say" button??????

Excuse you, I'm the gross/creepy stalker in this relationship!
But really, I'm glad you chose chocolate over me. Chocolate should always come first.

Food scale > teaspoons.
It's not essential to use a food scale to lose weight by calorie counting . . . but it can be an eye-opener for those who aren't losing as fast as they think they should be.
8.5 pounds since February is fast loss for someone with only 40 to lose. Fast loss, anecdotally, seems to involve more water weight weirdness and fluctuations (probably via stress responses), so more chance of pseudo-stalls.9 -

What’s with the eagerness to criticize, make someone feel badly and judge? That’s not helpful to someone who asked a simple question and was trying to figure out an issue. I thought we were all in this together as a weight loss team. After reading some comments I am perplexed about why the finger pointing and talking to me like I’m a dummy. For example, accusing me of plagiarism is a totally unnecessary comment. I simply forgot to site the website, which is, btw, “ruledme.com”. Why the heck don’t you simply ask before throwing around an insult? I will talk to my doctor about the issue of alcohol and Keto. In the meantime I appreciate the thoughtful comments and .... the happy news is I’m suddenly down three more pounds today. I wish everyone well in their health and wellness. Best!11
