Wine, club soda, rum


(Paula Kidonakis) #1

Hi, I’m new to this forum. I’ve been using the keto diet for a dew months now. At the beginning I lost 10 lbs. I have now seemed to stall. I have a question about alcohol. I used to enjoy wine with dinner. I now drink club soda with rum (1 1/2 oz) Is this permitted? I haven’t seen much written on this. I am not very overweight. Maybe 10 lbs. I am a 70 yr old woman and have no medical problems. I never had a weight problem. I feel this diet is good for me.

As long as club soda is sugar free which I think it is yes.

The only issue might be alcohol every night making you stall but since you dont have much more to lose you might not mind.

Also its normal to lose water weight then stall for a few months, just keep calm and keto on.
Also yes I agree… this way of eating IS good for you!

The question is not “is it permitted” but “is it stalling you”. Some people can get away with drinking small amounts of wine or liquor, others find it halts or even reverses their weight loss.

If you are one of the lucky ones, more power to you.
