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!"
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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 🤦🏻♀️
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
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 😄
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
This is why weed should be legal.. I wouldn't be looking at what alcoholic beverages to consume. I'd just smoke a little and call it a day.. thanks 'merica. I can have a toxin but I'm not aloud to smoke something that covers and protects fat with zero hangover or damage 👌
1-2 shots of a good single malt 20 yr old scotch does not knock me from ketosis. I only do that 1-2 times a week. Actually it has very little effect on my ketones or BS, I checked with a Keto Mojo.
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
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
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.
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.
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..?
This was very helpful. But what's your take on ketosis eliminating the *desire* for alcohol? I've been doing keto for 5 months and I no longer *want* alcohol! I was always a heavy, get plastered drunk, party person drinker! I loved it! Now I cannot drink enough to get drunk because I just don't want it. I miss *wanting* to drink! Any studies on keto as a possible cure for alcoholism, or is it just me?
*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.;)
I actually mix my Vodka (11 times distilled) everynight with super greens and never get a hangover. I also IF and eat very clean - and can tell when Im in ketosis from the insane energy I get. While I know I shouldnt drink everyday its part of my routine for many years now. Curious why I can drink approx a pint to 1/5 a night and still hit ketosis?!?!?!
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!".
Are American beers really that high in carbs? In Germany we have f.e. Bitburger/ Pils which has 9 - 12 carbs on 0,33 - 0,5 L. You shouldn't drink that to get drunk, but one cold beer in the evening shouldn't kick you out of ketosis then
isn't this the same with fructose. Fructose is 100% processed in the liver. Like Alkohol the body recognizes Fructose as poison. Even though fat gets produced in the process, the body doesn't recognize fructose as a carbohydrate. So has only fructose (100%) not another hybrid from fructose and glucose a negative effect on ketosis?
I started the keto diet and lost 63 pounds. This was without any alcohol. Then I resumed having 2 or 3 drinks while watching the news and gained back 26 pounds while changing nothing about what I ate. I wish that I could drink and lose weight but it's clearly not the case. Thanks to this video I understand why. One or two drinks on the weekend are the most he is talking about, so why bother. Without producing ketones, the ketogenic diet can be a weight gainer.
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!
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.
I would like to see a video about why the scales say i am not losing weight but the shorts i havent been able to get into in a year, and no can, tell me otherwise. I cant be gaining muscle that quick (can I?). Anyway yeah the science of the scales would be groovy
Try a DSM-BIA machine and see if you are gaining muscle. If you're doing IF or long term fasting you could also be gaining bone. I appear to have gained 10+ lb in 18 months. Jeans that fit @ 150lb and slip on/off @ 148 now do so @ 160+ and 158 or so. And I only use those jeans as a fit template, I don't wear them, so they don't stretch out.
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
Ive lost 20 lbs, with this diet, I do cheat here and there, and i cut the beer, and only drink whiskey, oh and i exercise. drunk usually lol. I lost the 20 lbs in 1 month and a half. I do fast 1 to 2 times a week.. a 20 hour fast or 24 .
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.
Video idea. Could you take five popular foods that's are really bad for you and show us replacement. Example deep fried French fries swapped for baked sweet potatoe fries cooked with a little advacodos oil. And explain why they're so unhealthy n why the substitute is healthier.
I've noticed , after having a Blended Scotch and two shots of tequila , that the next day i was still in ketosis! At least that's what my GlucoMenLx showed... I was so happy as if i ate 2 pounds of brownies and there's no change on the scale
Maria Kazakou oh yea u wont get knocked out of ketosis but the fat burning will halt until all alcohol is out ur system 24 to 72 hrs...after that the fat burning continues :)
What’s a gluco men x ?yours just started into second week of intermittent fasting. Done average 17hrs day and one twenty hours. Then weekend on the beers two days the. Back on diet, 1500 calories a day into two meals only in a 7 hour window. Lost 5 pound so far.
I on keto for 3 months and I drink everyday. I switched from beer to whisky mixed with water. I get drunk much easier now, used to win drinking competitions, now I’m just a laughing stock with the boys because I’m a lightweight now
This video is perfect timing. Going to Vegas next month and I'm sure I'll have a few drinks. Do you recommend not eating carbs at all if there is going to be alcohol consumed that day?
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.
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've lost 20 lbs doing a Keto diet and probably had 3 drinks a day (vodka soda). Yes I said per day lol! Its the one thing I can count on since I can't eat carbs.
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.
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.
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 :)
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.
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.
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!
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!
I get into frequent arguments about this with armchair doctors and this video has given me a few pointers to strengthen my argument, can confirm that on occasion i drink a half bottle of vodka or tequila, sometimes with a 2L Coke Zero mix and am still in ketosis the following morning.
I lost 90 pounds and still continued to drink beer, however, I drank Michelob Ultra, only 2.6 carbs per 12 ounce bottle. Sometimes I also have a pale ale or pumpkin ale, but if I over do it, the weight loss slows dramatically.
Jason W Baccaro I was going to say the same thing. Michelob ultra was a lifesaver. No sugar. Low carbs. 96 calories. Also, skinny margaritas every now and again was okay. Tequila. Lime. Lemon. Orange. Squeezed in. A little stevia. Good to go.
One Ultra while being Keto doesn't knocked me out of it, and boy, do I feel a buzz, now I know why. I only weigh 130 though and am close to my goal weight of 125. I'm a 5"5" female.
why would he do a vid on fungus toxins? I am actually curious because they have nothing to do with food except as something that we should not eat as far as i knew. I know that there are risks of getting outbreaks in some nuts and grains but unless its in sufficient quantity your immune system should be able to handle it. Not arguing here, just actually curious why it would be needed. Thanks.
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.
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
Somebody make a ketone beer. Please for the love of Yosemite Sam please make a keto beer. Please. Right now. Damn space ship can go to the moon but there is no keto beer.
Started keto 10 days ago but I wasn,t sleeping good at all the last few days. it was catching up to me, so I decided to have a cheatnight to correct my circadian cycle. I drank a pint of Clan MacGregor Scotch with water and ice. About 6 drinks. To my pleasant surprise I tested positive for ketosis 5pm the next day, about 14hrs after I went to bed. Wow! Looks like I'll stick to keto if I can do this once in a while. My fasting blood sugar was 82. P.s. didn't eat anything but keto while partaking in my brief stint of debauchery.
This is glorious, been searching for "foods to avoid when on a low carb diet" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Ronaliana Future Falbala - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my cousin got amazing success with it.
It would be very helpful if you could do a video on what happens if you try to adopt a ketogenic diet but fall short, ending up eating a lot of fat AND carbs. Maybe less carbs than before, but not to the level of being able to say it's a ketogenic diet.
Well, he nailed it. Drunk really fast, really bad hangover, fast recovery of said hangover. I just did it yesterday. I think I'll let my liver do it's thing now and stay out of it's way.
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

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.
The real question is... How do I limit my drinking to 1 night a week?
My question is how do I up my drinking to one night a week? I've been going weeks without a drop; I just don't want it. I miss it. 😔
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.

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 have friends that try to hijack me quite often. nothing worse than middle aged adolescents
Also enjoy Dr. Berg combining the two of these guys and the information they have compiled is incredible.

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.

i have gained up to 7lbs from a weekend of drinking but its water weight. two days in to regular routine and its gone.
Vodka Selzter with Squeezed Lemon, signature drink
I would use a lime, myself.
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!
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.
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.
This is why weed should be legal.. I wouldn't be looking at what alcoholic beverages to consume. I'd just smoke a little and call it a day.. thanks 'merica. I can have a toxin but I'm not aloud to smoke something that covers and protects fat with zero hangover or damage 👌
Weed is legal in Canada but I don’t trust myself when the munchies creep up
1-2 shots of a good single malt 20 yr old scotch does not knock me from ketosis. I only do that 1-2 times a week. Actually it has very little effect on my ketones or BS, I checked with a Keto Mojo.
Just shots? No classic whisky glasses?
@@TheEdge92 this scotch is SO good I can drink it from a red cup and enjoy it.
Very informative. Drunk while watching.
Even after this, I'm still reaching for the Wild Turkey 101 :) Neat of course
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
Wait, so you bounce back and recover quicker, but your hangovers are worse? Makes no sense lol
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
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.
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...
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.
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..?
This was very helpful. But what's your take on ketosis eliminating the *desire* for alcohol? I've been doing keto for 5 months and I no longer *want* alcohol! I was always a heavy, get plastered drunk, party person drinker! I loved it! Now I cannot drink enough to get drunk because I just don't want it. I miss *wanting* to drink! Any studies on keto as a possible cure for alcoholism, or is it just me?
*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!*
Special fonts, for special people. It's so,
....special!
Can you do a video surrounding the optimal nutrition required for Muscular Hypertrophy?
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.;)
I actually mix my Vodka (11 times distilled) everynight with super greens and never get a hangover. I also IF and eat very clean - and can tell when Im in ketosis from the insane energy I get. While I know I shouldnt drink everyday its part of my routine for many years now. Curious why I can drink approx a pint to 1/5 a night and still hit 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!
Liver you about to get this Corona and you gonna like it 😩🤣.
😂
This is sad and hilarious right about now...😞🤣
I drink on a regular basis and have lost 92 lbs in 8 months. I'm good.
What is your drink of choice?
Same. Fasting all day. Eating right and keeping calories in check... Im not worried about a couple beers every few days.
Are American beers really that high in carbs? In Germany we have f.e. Bitburger/ Pils which has 9 - 12 carbs on 0,33 - 0,5 L. You shouldn't drink that to get drunk, but one cold beer in the evening shouldn't kick you out of ketosis then
Thanks again thomas. Can you do a video on best sources of antioxidants on keto .
do you really think he reads any comments?
isn't this the same with fructose. Fructose is 100% processed in the liver. Like Alkohol the body recognizes Fructose as poison. Even though fat gets produced in the process, the body doesn't recognize fructose as a carbohydrate. So has only fructose (100%) not another hybrid from fructose and glucose a negative effect on ketosis?
2:13 who tf eats like all dainty like this? So annoying.
marcjtdc Haha.
Um, that's normal eating. How the heck do you eat?
I started the keto diet and lost 63 pounds. This was without any alcohol. Then I resumed having 2 or 3 drinks while watching the news and gained back 26 pounds while changing nothing about what I ate. I wish that I could drink and lose weight but it's clearly not the case. Thanks to this video I understand why. One or two drinks on the weekend are the most he is talking about, so why bother. Without producing ketones, the ketogenic diet can be a weight gainer.
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!
SioLazer thanks for watching!
Don’t be too scared OMG! 1 beer will not stop you from losing weight geez!!! I have had and still lost bunch of weight.
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.
Vodka, La Croix Lemon Carbonated water and a splash of 100% Grapefruit juice on the rocks. = Far Out Fresca
I would like to see a video about why the scales say i am not losing weight but the shorts i havent been able to get into in a year, and no can, tell me otherwise. I cant be gaining muscle that quick (can I?). Anyway yeah the science of the scales would be groovy
Try a DSM-BIA machine and see if you are gaining muscle. If you're doing IF or long term fasting you could also be gaining bone. I appear to have gained 10+ lb in 18 months. Jeans that fit @ 150lb and slip on/off @ 148 now do so @ 160+ and 158 or so. And I only use those jeans as a fit template, I don't wear them, so they don't stretch out.
I have had an entire 1.5L bottle of Gallo Pinot Grigio over 6 - 8 hours (9 - 5oz glasses) and was still in ketosis the next morning.
How long does let's say a shot of vodka pause ketosis?
Thank you so much love you
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
Ive lost 20 lbs, with this diet, I do cheat here and there, and i cut the beer, and only drink whiskey, oh and i exercise. drunk usually lol. I lost the 20 lbs in 1 month and a half. I do fast 1 to 2 times a week.. a 20 hour fast or 24 .
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.
wow
Video idea. Could you take five popular foods that's are really bad for you and show us replacement. Example deep fried French fries swapped for baked sweet potatoe fries cooked with a little advacodos oil. And explain why they're so unhealthy n why the substitute is healthier.
I've noticed , after having a Blended Scotch and two shots of tequila , that the next day i was still in ketosis! At least that's what my GlucoMenLx showed... I was so happy as if i ate 2 pounds of brownies and there's no change on the scale
Maria Kazakou oh yea u wont get knocked out of ketosis but the fat burning will halt until all alcohol is out ur system 24 to 72 hrs...after that the fat burning continues :)
So no harm done basically
Salvatore Luini correct
Better go for Jameson or Bushmills as they are triple distilled ;-)
What’s a gluco men x ?yours just started into second week of intermittent fasting. Done average 17hrs day and one twenty hours. Then weekend on the beers two days the. Back on diet, 1500 calories a day into two meals only in a 7 hour window. Lost 5 pound so far.
I on keto for 3 months and I drink everyday.
I switched from beer to whisky mixed with water. I get drunk much easier now, used to win drinking competitions, now I’m just a laughing stock with the boys because I’m a lightweight now
Dude your videos are absolute gold! THANK YOU!
Gregory Serrano thank you for watching!!
This video is perfect timing. Going to Vegas next month and I'm sure I'll have a few drinks. Do you recommend not eating carbs at all if there is going to be alcohol consumed that day?
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.
4 months on keto and ive lost 43 pounds. I have drank beer throughout my progress. i'll drink about an 18 pack a week. Lite beer though.
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.
🥰
Aint no laws when youre drinkin the claws...2net carbs per can
Drank a six pack of Coors Light every single night doing keto/IF. Aged 50, lost 52lbs over 4 months with zero cravings or hunger.
I've lost 20 lbs doing a Keto diet and probably had 3 drinks a day (vodka soda). Yes I said per day lol! Its the one thing I can count on since I can't eat carbs.
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.
I get one called a Skinny Bitch it's vodka and soda water and a lemon. I only drink once a month
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.
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 :)
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.
@@herbieburbie 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.
I only drink beer on days that have a “Y” in them
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
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!
What about cannabis?
Dominic Sheehy Yes. I would like to know how weed effects ketosis
Munches
really? dumb question.
+marcjtdc how is this a dumb question?
timothy gardner the problem isn’t eating cannabis, it’s the eating everything else after smoking cannabis. Lmao
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!
What are the effects of kombucha on ketosis
I get into frequent arguments about this with armchair doctors and this video has given me a few pointers to strengthen my argument, can confirm that on occasion i drink a half bottle of vodka or tequila, sometimes with a 2L Coke Zero mix and am still in ketosis the following morning.
I lost 90 pounds and still continued to drink beer, however, I drank Michelob Ultra, only 2.6 carbs per 12 ounce bottle. Sometimes I also have a pale ale or pumpkin ale, but if I over do it, the weight loss slows dramatically.
Jason W Baccaro , how long did it take you? Loving the keto and intermittent fasting, but love beer and drink a lot of it
Thanks
Jason W Baccaro I was going to say the same thing. Michelob ultra was a lifesaver. No sugar. Low carbs. 96 calories. Also, skinny margaritas every now and again was okay. Tequila. Lime. Lemon. Orange. Squeezed in. A little stevia. Good to go.
I prefer Bud Light Platinum myself. I could not get a buzz on the Ultra.
One Platinum I'm buzzed. But they seem to do down way to easy.
One Ultra while being Keto doesn't knocked me out of it, and boy, do I feel a buzz, now I know why. I only weigh 130 though and am close to my goal weight of 125. I'm a 5"5" female.
Nope, if I’m drinking beer it’s gonna be Guinness or Yuengling. If I’m cheating, NO GUILT, no apologies, then back to work again...
GOD! The antioxidant in red wines is just a joke! I'm going to be a monk! >
Still NO video on Mycotoxins! Why?
why would he do a vid on fungus toxins? I am actually curious because they have nothing to do with food except as something that we should not eat as far as i knew. I know that there are risks of getting outbreaks in some nuts and grains but unless its in sufficient quantity your immune system should be able to handle it.
Not arguing here, just actually curious why it would be needed. Thanks.
Bill M Coffee and cocoa powder are said to have mycotoxins. Quite hard for coffee lovers on keto.
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.
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
Somebody make a ketone beer. Please for the love of Yosemite Sam please make a keto beer. Please. Right now. Damn space ship can go to the moon but there is no keto beer.
Thomas, you always have the best topics to review. Thank You
Robert William thanks for watching!
Started keto 10 days ago but I wasn,t sleeping good at all the last few days. it was catching up to me, so I decided to have a cheatnight to correct my circadian cycle. I drank a pint of Clan MacGregor Scotch with water and ice. About 6 drinks. To my pleasant surprise I tested positive for ketosis 5pm the next day, about 14hrs after I went to bed. Wow! Looks like I'll stick to keto if I can do this once in a while. My fasting blood sugar was 82. P.s. didn't eat anything but keto while partaking in my brief stint of debauchery.
What about the reseveretrol on red wine, doesnt that reduce inflammation?
How do fat burners like gacinia gambosa, hydroxicut, or green tea affect ketosis
I love wine 🍷 😫
Georgia Giannaros mkay
Me too girl
lol me too
Check out Dry Farm Wines. They're supposedly zero carb and under 12.5% alcohol. The main guy stays in ketosis while he drinks a fair amount of wine.
This is glorious, been searching for "foods to avoid when on a low carb diet" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Ronaliana Future Falbala - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my cousin got amazing success with it.
I drink jack Daniels everyday, since being in ketosis I only need 2 drinks and I’m fucked lol
It would be very helpful if you could do a video on what happens if you try to adopt a ketogenic diet but fall short, ending up eating a lot of fat AND carbs. Maybe less carbs than before, but not to the level of being able to say it's a ketogenic diet.
Chaemin Lim i
Ketosis is the goal screw everything else
Well, he nailed it. Drunk really fast, really bad hangover, fast recovery of said hangover. I just did it yesterday. I think I'll let my liver do it's thing now and stay out of it's way.
