I’m trying to stay keto and lay off the wine a bit. Any suggestions on nice keto friendly drinks that will stop me feeling like I’m missing out?

I’ve still been drinking pinot, 12 carbs per bottle is worth it for my sanity and doesn’t knock me out of ketosis!

I’m keto and still drink alcohol sometimes. Wine is fine if it’s dry and spritzers are even better, spirits and sugar free mixers are fine too(all in moderation) I’m making a keto sangria tomorrow to have with a bbq.

In terms of non-alcoholic drinks I like sparkling water with lime and mint and cucumber if I’m being fancy, I made ice tea today which was lovely and refreshing and you can have sugar free squash or diet drinks in moderation, but I prefer to limit sweetners as much as possible.

Gin, vodka, white rum. Zero carbs!

Or if you’re staying away from alcohol entirely, seedlip is a good option - it’s the same price as real gin though.

I drink slimline tonic or slimline bitter lemon in place of alcohol - Schweppes has zero carbs.

Vodka with low calorie tonic!

@bloodyhellsbellsx sorry to be dense but Pinot what?

bloodyhellsbellsx · 10/05/2020 22:50

Pinot Grigio, dry white wine

I don’t really drink alcohol as I have a vice in chocolate 😬 I try just stick to water and tea, coffee with sweetener. The more variance I introduce, the more cravings I get and I’m easily tipped off the wagon, so to speak.

I am addicted to spritzer (white wine / diet tonic) and rum & diet coke, having said that I do believe it undermines my fat burn even if I stay under calorie / carb limit

Thanks for these suggestions.

I’m trying to find no alcohol drinks as I’ve been drinking too much since lock down and it really seems to hinder any weight loss.

Has anyone tried any alcohol free keto friendly larger or wine that is nice? I’m thinking about getting seedlip gin to have with slimline tonic..
