Brandy

#1

Brandy is one of my favorite booze’s. Is it keto friendly?

Yes. Brandy like most liquors are zero carb. As long as you dont get flavored liquors you’re generally safe.

Now keep in mind, alcohol in general stalls weight loss. Your body will prioritize the alcohol and decrease fat burning significantly…

That being said, I enjoy my drinks. Enjoy!

Alcohol in general is huge hindrance to weight loss for a lot of people. On Steve Austin’s recent podcast about keto he talks quite a bit about alcohol on a keto diet. They can go together but from many accounts alcohol will slow your weight loss dramatically. Especially if it’s a daily thing. Once every week or two? That’s probably fine.

I love the response time on this forum, every topic I’ve created so far has a reply within 10 minutes.

Anyway, I don’t drink every day. Maybe 3 times a week but I could cut it down to one or two.

We usually just have 3 or 4 shots with Dr. Pepper as a chaser, but I’m assuming I’ll have to get rid of the Dr. Pepper and use some sort of diet substitute.

For sure, over time, if you find that all your diet changes are working but stall, cutting back on alcohol may be necessary, but if you are making progress and enjoy your drink, i say go for it.

oh and try this if you like margaritas - https://kbketo.com/jalapeno-margarita

Well, keto definitely reduces your tolerance for alcohol. I had 3 shots of brandy last night and I felt just as buzzed as I would have been with 5 or 6 shots on my old crappy diet. The best thing is, I tested this morning and I’m still in ketosis. :star_struck:
