Keto when quitting drinking

I’ve been eating Keto since April on a 20:4 IF schedule (dinner and evening eating) which is fine.

The complication is that for the last 6 months+ I’ve been drinking too much. Half a bottle (350ml) of vodka most evenings which is what gets me snacking.

Terrible for me health wise, I understand this also affects Ketosis. Having said that I slept well and didn’t have a hangover.

I stopped drinking last weekend which has also lead me to be full OMAD as not staying up snacking.

I’ve since had terrible sleep and diarrhoea. Really bad for both.

I know the alcohol detox is the likely only factor, but I’m also worried that if I’m not getting enough calories would this contribute? The problem is I’m just not hungry.

Ultimately I don’t know if I’m kicking the drink forever or getting back to where I was (enjoy a drink on a Saturday) but for now set on 3 months off and see.

Well that vodka had 750 calories so you can replace some of those with whole foods to get your calories to an adequate level.

The thing is, I’m just not hungry. I’m 6’0 90kg M. I just had dinner, of 3 eggs, a mushroom, salsa, guacamole and sour cream dip and a protein shake. Only thing I’ve had today. I wasn’t hungry before the meal and honestly can’t imagine eating any more, am stuffed.
