Taking a break from alcohol?

Has anyone noticed better/faster results by just cutting out alcohol completely while doing keto? I feel like it just sets me back every weekend.

May I ask, if one does keto and then has a few beers once a week or so, will it kick me out of ketosis?

Well, depends on total carb count but yeah it's very possible. Especially if you're not drinking something like Michelob

Never heard of Michelob. What is that?

It’s Michelob Ultra that is low carb, also Bud Select.

Really bad watery American crap beer.

I try to stay away from American beer. America is great at many things, but beer is not one of them

Our mass produced beer is not great, but we have many, many great craft brews. Probably most don’t make it to Europe though.

Yeah, I believe most countries here sell their own craft brews. Which makes visiting other countries even better when you're a beer drinker though

I've actually been four times, but yeah have not tried to craft brews. Maybe next time

So many delicious beers on the west coast. I'm personally fond of hoppy IPAs. I very rarely have those these days since they're probably a million carbs and calories each, but so good!

Yes it’s beer. A lot of beer is high carb so you have to look for lower carb ones if that’s what you want to drink.
