What can you drink on a keto diet?

Is pocari sweat okay? Gatorade? I always drink water and home made electrolyte drink My simple Recipe is Lemon squeze Salt Water Optional: you can add Coconut water Orange squeeze

Ok that makes a lot of sense. I drank tea to help me ween off soda years ago. I have put 1 teaspoon of brown sugar in a 850ml bottle which I fill 3 times a day. So I guess I will work on taking out the sugar. Some one told me about Stivia but I am not sure what it is or what it breaks down into. If it is friendly is it Keto friendly?

Do diet sodas trick your body that you're drinking something sugary and having a corresponding insuline response? I hear a lot both ways. If being mentally strong and not crave more sugary stuff or eat more than supposed is the only problem, then I'll be fine.

[@starla8749]

My A1c has dropped from a 13.6 to 6.7 my blood pressure and blood sugar are wonderful and my labs from last week even had my Dr excited. I do a good bit of diet soda. And tea with 0 carb liquid sweetner. I'm always under 25 carbs sometimes way under! And last month I didn't drop one pound. I've been so discouraged. Any advice for me? I've read caffeine can slow your weight loss. Could it be the diet sodas?

[@dietdoctor]

You can try eliminating the sweeteners to see how that affects your progress. We discuss this in more detail in our main weight loss guide. www.dietdoctor.com/how-to-lose-weight

[@dooranderson938]

Great info. I love you diet doctor!

[@torysetliff]

I’ve been drinking a LOT of unsweetened, flavored, sparkling waters. The ingredients say water and natural flavors. I’m uncertain about those “natural flavors.” Is that phrase hiding anything harmful?

[@dietdoctor]

It may depend on the product. In a flavored water for example, it's usually not a problem but for other products, it may vary. Your country's food label regulatory agency should have more information on what that term could include.

[@robinbeers6689]

In other foods, the term "natural flavors" can hide a lot of things including MSG. In bubbly waters such as LeCroix, it is only the "essence" of the fruit which comes from the peel. Kind of like essential oils.

[@torysetliff]

Thanks y’all!

[@jeanwilliamson3189]

Thanks good advice

[@gherdaiulian]

I personally believe that alcohol shouldn't be a choice on a keto diet/lifestyle. Being first, as stated, metabolised by the liver, that is not a very fast process. And since a lot of people prefer to drink after dinner then digestion is delayed for a while and might cause a problem if after dinner one drinks a glass of preferred alcoholic drink and then go to bed. Just a thought :D

[@dietdoctor]

Thank you for taking the time to share!

[@jameskantor0459]

What are your thoughts on whole milk, occasionally?

[@dietdoctor]

That is going to depend on many factors, including your personal carb intake level, but for keto specifically whole milk as a beverage is likely going to be too high in carbohydrates/sugars. Here's our guide to dairy where you can read more to make a decision. www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/dairy

[@themarsy469]

I use Lactofree milk in tea because it has half the sugar of normal milk.

[@gherdaiulian]

@@themarsy469 why use milk? Especially lactose free? I've heard (didn't verify it to be honest) that through the process of removing lactose, lactose is actually replaced with sugar or something that will give milk its sweetness same as it was "natural". If I were you I would use cream (I have been drinking coffee with thickened cream (I live in Australia and that is how it's called, not sure what it is called in other countries, it's basically sour cream but not that thick :D) and it's delicious). Give it a try, if you want ;). Hope this helps

[@PinkieJoJo]

Everyone speaks of the high sugar in milk but Fairlife has half the amount. I think it is 6 sugars per cup where regular milk is like 12.

Miller lite only has 3 carbs.

[@rubyueanteiti4153]

I'm surprised you recommend alcohol more than soft drink.. just interesting to me. I would have guessed alcohol does more damage internally but I'm no expert

[@Blefiz]

2 drinks for men and 1 for women is within the guidelines for recommended maximum daily alcohol consumption. The difference here is that he does not demonize alcohol per se if you limit yourself to those guidelines and keep in mind the side effects. Most Drs or dieticians will put all alcohol in the same category but there are certainly some who are very rich in carbohydrates wich can ruin your ketosis with ease. Binging is a whole other demon and that will surely ruin anybody's ketosis for at least a day. I like how he treat people as adults and just warn about possible side effects and does not fall in that cliché of "oh no, stay completely away from alcohol, it's devil".

[@jujufi818]

I didn’t see that he recommended alcohol more then soft drinks . It’s an educational video and he is an expert.

[@kassandrasukhessan17]

Is pure honey for tea ok

Honey is not a low carbohydrate food. Generally, there are some natural sweeteners that are better than others. You can read our full guide on our website. www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/keto/sweeteners

[@Heather_fan]

[@53531640]

And avoid fruit juice. Many contain added sugar. But even 100% fruit juice is bad as it contains fructose. Fructose is worse than sugar because it is metabolized solely by the liver, which can lead to liver fat accumulation and insulin resistance over time.

[@oldtymer9106]

Great info, Doc. I drink carbonated water. No carbs or calories, yet still gives me those bubbles that I enjoyed with soda! 29 weeks into Keto/I.F. and I've lost 75lbs, dropped my resting pulse from 102 to 81bpm, my glucose from 136 to 98 and my A1C from 6.9 (with Rx's) to 5.4 (without Rx's).
