Description
This document provides guidance on consuming alcoholic beverages while following a ketogenic diet.
- Alcohol and Ketosis: Alcohol can lower ketosis by stimulating insulin, which promotes fat storage instead of fat burning. Alcohol mixed with carbohydrates can further reduce ketosis.
- Sensitivity to Alcohol: People on a ketogenic diet may experience heightened sensitivity to alcohol, requiring less to feel its effects.
- Dehydration Risk: Alcohol can cause dehydration, which may be intensified by a ketogenic diet. Staying hydrated is essential.
- Recommendation: Choose beverages with low or zero carbs and stay hydrated to minimize the impact on ketosis and avoid dehydration.
