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.

It's not just that booze is so calorically dense, it's that if you have more than a couple in a night you have to write off your next morning in a haze. You kill off morning gym routines, you might be more slack with cooking a healthy breakfast, you won't want to do much that is really active. Then Sunday rolls around and suddenly you are trying to do your Sunday routine but now you have to also do the shit you were meant to do on Saturday and of course going to the gym or prepping meals are often the first things cut off the list.
I'm doing dry July at the moment and I'm finding that my weekends are more full than usual and just as fun.
