I haven't drank alcohol in over 17 months. It's great! Except for all the "at least one glass" douchebags. I tell them: "Go shoot heroin. Why not? At least once!"
Been a heavy beer drinker for years until I went Keto two months ago and cut out alcohol completely. I must say, I haven’t missed it nearly as much as I thought I would.
Keto Alcohol Cheatsheet 1. Cocktails and Sugary Mixes - highest in carbs 2. Beers and Ciders - high in carbs 3. Flavoured Spirits - still quite high in carbs 4. White Wine - moderate to high carbs 5. Red Wine - moderate in carbs 6. Rum, Cognac and Brandies - edging higher 7. Whiskey, Scotch, Bourbon - quite low 8. Vodka, Tequila, and Gin - the lowest in carbs and the best drinks for keto All in all, any more than 1-2 drinks will definitely be bad for ketosis I don't drink but maybe it helps Thanks!
Good video! Oh yes you can, keep up the good work... Stick with Gin, Vodka, Scotch and Whiskey; use only carb-free mixers. And remember, drinking alcohol puts your ketosis on hold until your body metabolizes the alcohol...
@@justinambrose3107 gnac has zero carbs. My only drink on keto. If I want a beer I drink 100 ml 3grams if carbs and throw the rest away. Live beer. But cognac i drink as much as I want as long it fits my macros
Is there a best way to time drinking to minimize the pause in your ketones? Ie before during or after meals? Asking as a intermittent faster on ketovore diet drinking bourbon neat.
Got my answer, Thank you Thomas and honestly my hangover are so bad now that I’m in keto that I’m quitting drinking I feel horrible every time I get a drink 🤦🏻♀️
A drink once in a while is not going to hurt your fat loss goals long term. It could actually be a positive since you may stay on your diet plan longer , instead of feeling deprived and depressed. Be sensible, have a few drinks , laugh , have fun, drink water , sleep and then go straight back onto your plan the next day.
Single malt Scotch is my preference. I can sip it neat and keep any negative impact on my body small. I really love the peated stuff that gives a nice smokey and savory taste. Just a tiny sip held in the mouth to savor the complexities of the liquid. It's so good, but I will do this much more sparingly while I'm dieting.
I can assure you that. Worked all day and was fasting. Went home and got hijacked by friends at the parking and went drinking. Had a single glass of Cognac and got drunk as fxxxxk. Lol. So, started at 196 lbs and 3 months now i reached 165 lbs without exercise. Thank you and Dr Berg for changing my life.
I find when Im on Keto and I drink Alcohol I get a buzz just after one or two drinks. The lack of carbs really makes the alcohol kick in hard. Before when I wasnt on keto I could drink 10 or 12 beers without getting a buzz
What I like about your videos is that you explain in detail the processes within the body and how the internal organs are affected by what we ingest. This is just what I needed. There is a lot to learn and you do speak rather quickly, but I think these videos are worth going over again until I have a real grasp of how to help myself. Kudos to your thoroughness and your communication skills.
just started Keto 1 week ago and the effects were instant. I'm also a heavy drinker though (EX Navy), so your vid struck home. You're informative and entertaining. Keep it up!
*It's important to understand the impact of alcohol on ketosis, and you did a great job explaining how it can affect metabolism and hinder progress. Thanks for sharing this valuable information!*
Great video! My absolute favorite (mostly 'guilt-free') drink when I want to indulge is: >Tequila >Unsweetened sparkling water >Fresh squeezed lime juice >Liquid stevia >Sea salt. This makes for an amaaazingly refreshing beverage that isn't loaded with sugar, carbs, and other junk. (And is better than any margarita I've ever had...) Try it out! (But be careful....they go down fast.;)
Thank you for your I knowledge! I started keto about two weeks ago and I simply cant stop watching your videos! They have such amazing quality information! I just adore you!
I'm fasting for 18 hours a day for almost 2 years and I break my fast by double shot of vodka and couple joined and beers in between still feel great and 48 , and don't forget best remedy for hangover is fasting
Great video as always Thomas. I (Liz) still drink red wine at the weekends and special occasions as I've given up sweets, cigarettes and carbs so this is my one little treat that I still allow myself! Thank you for explaining how it works as I love the science. You're a huge influence on our own channel so thank you xx
this is exactly the explanation I was looking for. "What does Alcohol do to my Ketois" i dont care what drinks are good or bad carbs wise, the label can tell me that. what does it DO. this explains perfectly. Good work!
I was doing great on Keto and three days ago I decided to add just a 6oz glass of dry red wine with dinner (for anticipation reasons) . Today I stepped on the scale and had gained 2 lbs in 3 days. Needless to say, I am done with wine lol.
Great channel. I would like to see more meal planning. Lunch and dinner for at home. Also I travel and entertain clients. Meal ideas for eating out at middle to higher end restaurants. Thank you Tom.
I've been eating keto/ IF for 7 months. I've lost 86 lbs. I have also been drinking 1 or 2 single malt Scotches every night. If I want a beer I go with Michalob Ultra. I believe not over doing it helps the cause. By the way....I don't drink when I fast.
Only about 6 grams of carbs in a standard 5 oz glass of wine, more for dessert wines of course. I actually measure mine exact. I stay under 20 grams of daily carbs and my evening glass is well worth half of those 😄
Drink spirits occasionally and find my levels are pretty much back to normal next morning... been following keto now for just over 2 months and have shed over 50lbs so far (starting point of 290lb so still a way to go though). These videos have been a great help, keep them coming you’re doing some great work.
Hi Thomas, thank you for the amazing content on your channel! I have a question: why do I feel significantly colder while I'm fasting? Is this due to a metabolic change or..?
I’ve been on Keto for 2 months now and didn’t drink for the first month. When I started drinking, I was literally only taking tequila shots, nothing else. Never affected my Ketosis as I still maintained high fat in my diet. I suppose it could be also down to the fact that I didn’t go overboard with the drinking.
You know what I like about you? You are UNBELIEVABLY knowledgeable and informative. Any other vid on youtube I watch I feel like it's scripted but when you talk it's as though your rambling on pure knowledge about this. Thank you, I subbed. Please keep doing what your doing sir!
My wife is on a 5 day fast and is going out with friends on the weekend. This was precisely the question she asked last night. I'm not surprised you had an answer. Very helpful!
To all the people saying “just don’t drink”.. then WHY are you on this video? Lol. I guess you weren’t thinking about drinking on Keto either? Maybe some of us like to relax with a glass of wine or a beer.. so what?
Nero Machiavelli that’s pretty much irrelevant to what I just said. It has nothing to do with my comment. Lmao. Maybe you can answer my question then. WHY ARE YOU ON THIS VIDEO IF YOU DO NOT DRINK? Lol.
Another great video! I stopped drinking because a glass of wine would knock me over. Then I noticed that all I need is to swish liquor in my mouth and I get a buzz. Like a sip and I'm buzzed. Thanks for making it make sense for me!
Great video! I would like to know more about the low carb breads out there. Mainly the " mission carb balance tortillas". You may have already posted a video on it, not sure.. But i would love some info. THANKS!
Thanks for the video! I personally intermittently fast 5 days per week, going to the default breakfast included routine on Wednesday & Sunday. This works week for me. I would like to request a video that discusses frequency of intermittent fasting, fasting and ketosis. Thanks to you all, Thomas and the team
Thank you! I needed this video. I have been avoiding social activities where alcohol is present for months now. This information makes me feel confident that I can go out have a drink and not reverse all my keto gains🎉🎉🎉🎉
Gosh your videos are so informative, i'm so glad I found your channel! I have just started to get in to more of a keto style of eating as ANY carbs (even the good ones) bloat me so bad and give me bad stomach aches. I have leaned out so much since cutting them right down and focusing on fats. I cut my drinking down to once a month at the beginning of this year and only ever drink vodka or whisky on the rocks anyway but I have been worried about how this would impact the whole ketosis process. I don't want to cut out my once a month drinks as I do enjoy them. This video has really helped. Thank you :)
Can you explain the pros and cons about being in ketosis for a period of time and then switching to carbs. In example I do the keto diet for two weeks and then I take a break for two weeks. I still see weight loss but I want to know the effects on the body from switching
That’s weird I’ve been doing a self study on myself I’ve been purposely drinking vodka on the rocks my level of ketones from my machine is showing I’m seeping into keto also my weight loss has increased also I’ve been doing basically under 10 carbs a day with the intermittent fasting so I can agree on your statement.
Once you stop drinking any kind of booze as time goes by you just do not care about it. I love Bubly or other sparkling water got the fizz without the added sugar no calories, no carbs and tasty and gives the liver and kidneys a break from years of drinking sometimes in excess.
Omg! I used to be able to drink Hennessy on the rocks, 5 glasses not problem. I have Been in keto for about a year, I had just 1 Hennessy on the rocks drink.... I was getting full blown tipsy with just a few gulps lol! it was crazy.
Here's a request for you Thomas! I've recently acquired a meter for testing blood ketones and blood glucose. I'm interested in knowing what the optimal times are for testing and the amounts for each for different goals: muscle building, fat burning and rest.
After consuming 5 michelob ultras one night, I felt like I was going to die. I think that was the worst I ever felt, and my body attempted to purge itself every 30 minutes. I was finally able to keep water down towards around 5am. We only stayed out until around 11pm the night before. No more beer
I can personally attest to how much beer hampers weight loss, at least for me. If I have two standard bottles of beer, I retain so much water that I can put on 4 lbs of weight on the scale the next day.
Crazy me too, My wife has wondered if there is an under lieing problem. If I dont drink for 3 days I lose 5-7LB's of water in that short of time. Thomas you have reasons on why this happens
Nice guidance Mr DeLauer, thank you. Already planning Christmas day. A keto main course but with a glass of sauvignon blanc, followed by a small pieces of plum pudding, lots of brandy butter, and maybe with the coffee a large vodka and a slice of lime. Have a good Christmas and thank you for your videos
Great video! Very useful for those of us that are constantly eating out during business travel. I'm a new subscriber so apologies if this has been done previously, but I would love to see a series done on leaky gut and the best natural ways to fix it. Keep the good stuff coming!
If you miss beer then set aside 2 days a month where you drink beer and eat carbs. You should have a refeed day every couple of weeks to keep your hormones in check anyway.
Aquatic Highs I drink beer on Saturdays. my average is like 10-12 beers now in dunk by 8 beers lol. and I still lose weight! modelo is very good with the carb content, only 3 I THINK
if beers is a must Michalob Ultra is 2.6gs per 12oz, Miller light is around 3.2 for 12oz... ill sometimes eat zero carbs but drink 6 pack of ultras and have no issue staying in ketosis. The muchie cravings and hangovers suck big time though
Here we come, good bye beer it was nice knowing you but Uncle Thomas said you are a bad influence and you make us fat. Why hello there to my new friends, Vodka and Seltzer.
It's better to drink wine half in half with water then hard alcohols like vodka which is empty calories like carbs :) and also can give You fatty liver.
Hey Tom! A video on which kinds of keto foods are best to have before a night of drinking would be super helpful! Also any other tips, is drinking less disruptive to ketosis while fasted or fed?
I gave up starches...i gave up potatoes, fries, rice, bread and stuffs, sweets, all the sugars, for Keto........now, after this video, ill give up Keto...for vodka ! O_O
Great vid once again, 2 questions. Are you still doing ketosis? And can you talk about cyclical ketosis in a vid? Thanks man your very intelligent and kind of a huge inspiration! Thanks bro
Do you have a different channel that focuses on your specific workout and nutrition regimens? That way we can get an idea on what it takes to get a physique like yours.
Red - Me too! It is also my ONLY drink. I am just not interested enough to try to find anything else. I used to drink a lot so Keto has certainly changed my life dramatically. It even works out to add a little to the party. My friends sometimes joke around by saying things like, "Oh damn, this guy goes straight for the hard stuff!".
I am trying to do everything you have already achieved... including the successful youtube channel like yours. I can really use some tips...you get subscribers fast. I may seem not as excited as you on video...its hard getting your real personality out there... any way sir ... I can really use some guidance and tips from you... I'm still working out and eating great... lost nearly 20 lbs in the first 2-3 weeks... thanks GONZO
Mike Ansari actually I’m a Notre Dame graduate... a disabled amputated marine Corps Infantry Veteran... I actually used to be very fit ... I went through some very dark depressing times... I quit on life... I’m on my journey back....if you can’t support that then that’s your choice but very few people are as fit as Thomas... I follow him but not because he’s ripped but because he’s extremely knowledgeable... and I know that getting tips and advice from multiple sources is also extremely beneficial
Going Gonzo - keep going man. I don't make nutrition videos and I'm not successful like he is either but you do what you know you want to do and help people with and those Few likes or comments about being helped and thanking you is at least to me worth it. If you don't stop you will keep piling them on. Maybe not as fast, but stay true to what you believe like it seems Thomas does and you will keep getting better. Make small comments or jokes (if that's your normal personality) and just start letting yourself show through in your videos like I'm trying to do now. I have lapses and times I don't have videos to make too. Hope it helps GG.
Fantastic video, as always! I have an off-topic request... I really want more info about your kitchen backsplash! Looks really nice. Can you please provide some information about it? Thanks!
Miller 64 is 2.8 % alcohol and 2.3 carbs. Not bad. I'm a beer drinker who is losing weight and I just started drinking 64. I'll move to select 55 once I get used to the watered down 64. It just makes me feel better to have a couple beers at night. Non alcoholic is just too low alcohol and in the back of my mind I know it's not alcohol. Keep in mind i was drinking ipa's and avoiding light beer and getting drunk or buzzed every night for a bout 3 years. I gained 60 lbs. Now I'm down 20 In 2 months, 40 more to get where I was and then another 10 and then maintenance for life. I plan to continuously lower my beer Intake to zero.
I follow his videos closely, and I believe it’s on the order of hours rather than days. The liver needs to process the toxic alcohol before it can continue on with its happy ketone processing, and that’s more like 2-3 hours rather than 2-3 days. My understanding is alcohol doesn’t throw you out of ketosis (spirits being better than wine or beer or, God forbid, a margarita or five, where you get into carbs that are truly worrisome), but it puts the fat-burning engine in neutral for a varying length of time.
I do keto and IMF. I try to schedule my workouts, cardio or walks to finish close to the end of my fast. Is this smarter or dumber than doing excercise earlier in the fast, or is there no real difference? I do it to, in theory, burn more fat during my excercise and I have no problems with energy or strength doing it this way.
Do you have a video related to keto nightmares or just restless sleep? Any tips would be appreciated! I've been attempting to work with my magnesium supplementation but the crazy nights are killing me!!
Ashleigh Stephens start talking vitamin B1 before bed. I use about 1000mg and it calms your mind, naturally. Also, calcium/magnesium in a citrate form, so your body can easily absorb them.
What do you mean when you say, "... Attempting to work with my magnesium supplementation"? What form of supplementation are you using? Try magnesium oil transdermally, applied to the abdomen at bedtime.
I havent drank alcohol in 17 days and 100% I can feel the difference. I feel miserable.
Sounds like weakness leaving the body
😭 I start on the first. Im not ready.
I haven't drank alcohol in over 17 months. It's great! Except for all the "at least one glass" douchebags. I tell them: "Go shoot heroin. Why not? At least once!"
😃😅😄😆
Can totally relate
I ONLY drink if I'm alone or with somebody
Me too!
When thirsty!
So... all the time?
So pretty much everyday
.just say everyday mike....just to let you know i don't drink when am taking a 💩💩

Yeah same I enjoyed the odd beer or glass of wine or cocktail but even before I started Keto decided to give up the booze and feel great.
Keto Alcohol Cheatsheet
1. Cocktails and Sugary Mixes - highest in carbs
2. Beers and Ciders - high in carbs
3. Flavoured Spirits - still quite high in carbs
4. White Wine - moderate to high carbs
5. Red Wine - moderate in carbs
6. Rum, Cognac and Brandies - edging higher
7. Whiskey, Scotch, Bourbon - quite low
8. Vodka, Tequila, and Gin - the lowest in carbs and the best drinks for keto
All in all, any more than 1-2 drinks will definitely be bad for ketosis
I don't drink but maybe it helps
Thanks!
Lol, woohoo tequila shots here we goooo. (Jk I hate drinking)
Haha, point me to the ketone shots

Finally, someone with some sense. thanks.
I agree but most people don’t know how to just have a few, low self control so they need to be strict 😂
i dont think it will be a problem if i drink 8 light beers in one day once in a week
What about those pizzas I will want to eat and all those French fries I like. That’s the hard part. Drinking is easy.

Crazy me too, My wife has wondered if there is an under lieing problem. If I dont drink for 3 days I lose 5-7LB's of water in that short of time. Thomas you have reasons on why this happens
what kind of beer are u drinking ... i just do miller lite
nopochki, I normally don't drink light beers. When I used to drink beers, it used to be brands like your stand Heineken, Dos Equis, Shiner Bock, etc.
Same here, suck because I have some friends that drink beer and they are skinny as heck
i have gained up to 7lbs from a weekend of drinking but its water weight. two days in to regular routine and its gone.
Nice guidance Mr DeLauer, thank you. Already planning Christmas day. A keto main course but with a glass of sauvignon blanc, followed by a small pieces of plum pudding, lots of brandy butter, and maybe with the coffee a large vodka and a slice of lime. Have a good Christmas and thank you for your videos
Best video yet! Thank you
2 shots of vodka (pours half the bottle)
Hancy Nunez bwaaahaahaa!!!!!
Yessss
Hancy Nunez my kinda style
Omg yessssssssss 😂😂😂😂
That's me!
Now I understand why I get drunk so much quicker than before :D
patrolmostwanted this is happening to me and it sucks big time, one drink makes me feel like I had 6 drinks...
Great video! Very useful for those of us that are constantly eating out during business travel.
I'm a new subscriber so apologies if this has been done previously, but I would love to see a series done on leaky gut and the best natural ways to fix it. Keep the good stuff coming!
Natalie F glad to help! Thanks for tuning in
As always you are very educational! Thank you
I miss beer
If you miss beer then set aside 2 days a month where you drink beer and eat carbs. You should have a refeed day every couple of weeks to keep your hormones in check anyway.
Aquatic Highs I drink beer on Saturdays. my average is like 10-12 beers now in dunk by 8 beers lol. and I still lose weight!
modelo is very good with the carb content, only 3 I THINK
modelo is 14 carb...
if beers is a must Michalob Ultra is 2.6gs per 12oz, Miller light is around 3.2 for 12oz... ill sometimes eat zero carbs but drink 6 pack of ultras and have no issue staying in ketosis. The muchie cravings and hangovers suck big time though
Cheat days! one or twice a month makes you sane
Here we come, good bye beer it was nice knowing you but Uncle Thomas said you are a bad influence and you make us fat. Why hello there to my new friends, Vodka and Seltzer.
H Yee Poong III yep
don't get it wrong. Strong alcohol will have an impact in hormonal levels, fatty liver and muscle building. Do more research ;)
It's better to drink wine half in half with water then hard alcohols like vodka which is empty calories like carbs :) and also can give You fatty liver.
excellent! I was searching on this topic.
Hey Tom! A video on which kinds of keto foods are best to have before a night of drinking would be super helpful! Also any other tips, is drinking less disruptive to ketosis while fasted or fed?
I gave up starches...i gave up potatoes, fries, rice, bread and stuffs, sweets, all the sugars, for Keto........now, after this video, ill give up Keto...for vodka ! O_O
Vodka + whipping cream + stevia = no carb White Russian. Mmmm!
Lol
@@terraflow__bryanburdo4547 really? sounds interesting lol
E. M. nah, vodka is good, very good
@t-dot jelly kid
Great vid once again, 2 questions. Are you still doing ketosis? And can you talk about cyclical ketosis in a vid? Thanks man your very intelligent and kind of a huge inspiration! Thanks bro
Haha I love the random clips of people eating and working out, and the "cell animation", hysterical!
Great video. Very informative. Thanks
Had 2 beers and some wine and woke up still in full ketosis. Everybody’s body is different
How can you tell,?
@@JueputaGuebon i had a box keto test strips
@@josie9583 lol no problem!
Do you have a different channel that focuses on your specific workout and nutrition regimens? That way we can get an idea on what it takes to get a physique like yours.
🥰
I subscribed. Very informative content.
Thanks for posting this video quickly after i asked about alcohol and ketosis! Very nice job team!
Adventure Dad thanks for tuning in!
What are the effects of kombucha on ketosis
vodka with seltzer it is!
JB Fitness that's how I roll
Don't forget a pinch of lime! 😃
Best comment ever lmao
Red - Me too!
It is also my ONLY drink. I am just not interested enough to try to find anything else. I used to drink a lot so Keto has certainly changed my life dramatically.
It even works out to add a little to the party. My friends sometimes joke around by saying things like, "Oh damn, this guy goes straight for the hard stuff!".
and lemon!
Wow thanks Tom! Props for that
Thx for the video. You make it so easy to understand...
How long does let's say a shot of vodka pause ketosis?
I am trying to do everything you have already achieved... including the successful youtube channel like yours. I can really use some tips...you get subscribers fast. I may seem not as excited as you on video...its hard getting your real personality out there... any way sir ... I can really use some guidance and tips from you... I'm still working out and eating great... lost nearly 20 lbs in the first 2-3 weeks... thanks GONZO
GOING GONZO Basically man, research and articulate really well.. practice on your friends xD
The Mind Muscle thanks. I think I'm getting better ... hopefully people will notice.. I will not quit
Get jacked like this dude and I would be more open to listening to your tips
Mike Ansari actually I’m a Notre Dame graduate... a disabled amputated marine Corps Infantry Veteran... I actually used to be very fit ... I went through some very dark depressing times... I quit on life... I’m on my journey back....if you can’t support that then that’s your choice but very few people are as fit as Thomas... I follow him but not because he’s ripped but because he’s extremely knowledgeable... and I know that getting tips and advice from multiple sources is also extremely beneficial
Going Gonzo - keep going man. I don't make nutrition videos and I'm not successful like he is either but you do what you know you want to do and help people with and those Few likes or comments about being helped and thanking you is at least to me worth it. If you don't stop you will keep piling them on. Maybe not as fast, but stay true to what you believe like it seems Thomas does and you will keep getting better. Make small comments or jokes (if that's your normal personality) and just start letting yourself show through in your videos like I'm trying to do now. I have lapses and times I don't have videos to make too. Hope it helps GG.
Fantastic video, as always! I have an off-topic request... I really want more info about your kitchen backsplash! Looks really nice. Can you please provide some information about it? Thanks!
Thank you so much love you
no beers is sad
Miller 64 is 2.8 % alcohol and 2.3 carbs. Not bad. I'm a beer drinker who is losing weight and I just started drinking 64. I'll move to select 55 once I get used to the watered down 64. It just makes me feel better to have a couple beers at night. Non alcoholic is just too low alcohol and in the back of my mind I know it's not alcohol. Keep in mind i was drinking ipa's and avoiding light beer and getting drunk or buzzed every night for a bout 3 years. I gained 60 lbs. Now I'm down 20 In 2 months, 40 more to get where I was and then another 10 and then maintenance for life. I plan to continuously lower my beer Intake to zero.
@@mobydickhead1 I look at non alcohol beers and though they only have.5 or less alcohol, but they have way more carbs than Miller 64 or Bud Select 55.
Thomas, how long does it pause the process per drink? Thanks.
Zihuatanejo 48-72 hours according to a video by Dr. Berg
I follow his videos closely, and I believe it’s on the order of hours rather than days. The liver needs to process the toxic alcohol before it can continue on with its happy ketone processing, and that’s more like 2-3 hours rather than 2-3 days. My understanding is alcohol doesn’t throw you out of ketosis (spirits being better than wine or beer or, God forbid, a margarita or five, where you get into carbs that are truly worrisome), but it puts the fat-burning engine in neutral for a varying length of time.
Really great video! Thanks for your help!
Thanks mate, great information. Can you do a video on what you eat in a day?
I do keto and IMF. I try to schedule my workouts, cardio or walks to finish close to the end of my fast. Is this smarter or dumber than doing excercise earlier in the fast, or is there no real difference? I do it to, in theory, burn more fat during my excercise and I have no problems with energy or strength doing it this way.
Do you have a video related to keto nightmares or just restless sleep? Any tips would be appreciated! I've been attempting to work with my magnesium supplementation but the crazy nights are killing me!!
Ashleigh Stephens start talking vitamin B1 before bed. I use about 1000mg and it calms your mind, naturally. Also, calcium/magnesium in a citrate form, so your body can easily absorb them.
What do you mean when you say, "... Attempting to work with my magnesium supplementation"? What form of supplementation are you using? Try magnesium oil transdermally, applied to the abdomen at bedtime.
Smoking or vaping weed takes the vivid dreams away.
Magnesium causes restless sleep and vivid dreams
Excellent video. Thank you very much.
Hi! Love your videos! Simple to understand but really goes in depth and scientific on everything :)
