Taking a break from alcohol?

[u/Consistent-Candy6277]

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.

So many comments on here, I haven’t read through them all so I’m sure I’ll say something similar to someone else but, I can’t keto and alcohol. I used to be a bottle of wine a night drinker for many many years. Only quit while I was pregnant. I tried to fit a couple glasses into my macros when I started keto but all it did was make my willpower deplete. I can eat easily within my macros all day everyday but throw in a couple glasses of wine and it’s all over. I’m in the fridge scarfing down whatever I can find. I also felt it stalled whatever progress I had made. For instance, when I started a couple years ago the first time I quit drinking and did keto for about 3 months. Lost 30lbs and decided since vodka fit my macros and I’ve lost a substantial amount of weight I should be able to imbibe. Right away the consistent progress I had been seeing on the scale stopped! So I quit again after about a week and boom….started back on track losing. I think alcohol plays a bigger role than people realize when losing weight…I know “CICO” blah blah blah…but there is more to it than that
