no alcohol either ... that is a deal breaker for a lot of people (including myself)

Alcohol is actually fine on a low carb diet. Beer has carbs but Vodka, Rum, etc are totally fine.

In fact alcohol tends to have a greater effect on you when in ketosis so you even save some money when out drinking.

You can have alcohol. I follow a ketogenic diet and regularly drink liquor and wine. Wine has carbs, but not a lot. ~4 grams per 5 ounces.

how much wine do you drink (if you dont mind me asking)

your basically saying you follow a low carb diet but drink alcohol and that is you main source of crabs right?

  alcohol and that is you main source of crabs right?

Alcohol is a vector for crabs in general. ;)

I drink alcohol once per week, give or take. I drank a bottle of wine on Saturday and it didn't bump me out of Ketosis. You have 50 carbs to spare typically without completely exiting. A bottle of wine is about 20-25.

Liquor has 0 carbs unless it's infused with something.

actually, many hard liquors don't have any carbs. i do keto and drink bourbon regularly.

You can have some wine.
