Hello Keto friends! I’m relatively new to Keto (2.5 months in and loving it!) In the recent weeks I’ve been doing 16-8 IF and after having my dinner meal at about 7:30, I usually have a straight whiskey before bed at around 9-9:30 or so. Does this mean that my fast doesn’t start until then or does it start when I’m finished with dinnner? I usually don’t eat again until 12-1 the next day so I don’t want to losing any fasting time. Thanks for reading!

One ounce of whisky has about 70 calories. From what I understand you need to stay under 50 calories when fasting. I’d start timing my fast after the whisky.
I eat between noon and 8pm so I don’t have anything after 8 but water and nothing before noon but water and coffee.

when you have alcohol in your system your liver stops it’s regular activities to deal with the alcohol. This means that some benefits of fasting can not start until the alcohol has been processed and is out of your system.
