Hi, is it safe to have the odd night off, I've got got a dinner party in a few weeks and love to have an evening off and a few drinks, is it dangerous to have a few dri ks on an occasion if u r in keyosis?

The second that alcohol touches your lips you will come out of ketosis. You will get drunk quicker from not having drunk in a while and it will effect your loss the following week.

Having said that, I am doing just that on Friday for a friends leaving do!

This might be worth a read regarding alcohol whilst in ketosis. http://www.minimins.com/exante/191898-danger-alcohol-when-ketosis.html

It varies from person to person, of course... but some people getting very sick from just one drink if in ketosis. I'd say drinking with caution, as it could effect you MUCH more than normal. Try to come out of Ketosis earlier if you do need to drink...

Yeah, heed the warning above but all it means is make sure you take a forkful or 5 of food before a sip of your wine. And don't go over board!

The effect on your weight loss - I had it described to me many years ago and it's stayed with me - your fat is the wood on a fire that you have stoked well with ketosis and it's burning through quickly and effectively, when the fat runs low, your body throws some more logs on the fire so you keep on burning that fat - throw petrol on it though, and it will stop burning the wood until all the petrol is gone - the petrol being alcohol

Alcohol won't necessarily knock you out of ketosis its possible to drink and stay in ketosis but its dangerous to drink in ketosis. If you plan on drinking knock yourself out ketosis first

It's your health you need to worry about not hip our weight loss if you plan on drinking
