What is your favourite 'keto friendly' alcoholic drink?
Very very informative. You are an interesting and knowledgeable man. And I appreciate your information. I am just starting the keto diet and I enjoy a drink every now and then. So this is really important information. Thank you
Dr Dan Maggs sounds like an adult version of the boy bending spoons in The Matrix.
the drink is apparently called 'skinny bitch'.

Why if I have a white wine or a vodka does my ketosis go way up?
I tried this customized keto diet, worked better than expected, i have lost weight, satisfied with the result, and recommend you all to try it here is the link @t
What a great video. Well presented. I really love the taste of a good craft beer, but I think I'll wait until I get to the end of my journey 😢. I've worked too hard to get to this point … and I have a LONG journey! Thank you for an excellent video and discussion Dr. Maggs!
Alcohol is chemically similar to sugar. I can't see how anyone can be on any diet and use alcohol.
The bloating makes it not even worth it
It's Alfred Hitchcock. Great video!
So the old advice of drinking a couple of glasses of water before bed when you've been out on a binge to reduce the hangover effects still applies when you're on a keto diet then. Right?
If anyone is wondering, the drink he meant (vodka, soda, lemon) is called a skinny b*tch 🙂
Just starting finding your outlook on this very interesting
That's interesting about wine, I was told that white wine was actually higher in carbs than red, dry wines. I guess it depends on the fruits and added sugar in non-organic wines. Great video, thanks doc!
Hi Dr. Maggs, i have been in ketosis for two weeks, but I drink whiskey but urine strips still show i am in major ketosis and havent changed, so as long as my strips show that i am ketosis, i am good?
I want to know the inappropriate name of vodka soda lime drink 🙂
Sauvignon blank with seltzer. Usually no more than 2 glasses. No beer.
You can spin it any way you want. Alcohol reduces discipline in some. The failures can creep in. Dont drink !

Weirdly my tolerance to both alcohol and it's after effects has improved dramatically on Ketosis, it's harder for me to even get tipsy ;).. it may be that my organs like the liver are working better, but I don't know
I'm doing a ketogenic diet and a intermediate daily fasting program and decided to try drinking tequila one day during my 8 daily eating hours… and I actually found a much higher tolerance (which really surprised me because I hadn't eaten for 16hours prior!) Plus I didn't experience any hangover what so ever at all! However I did notice that my daily weight loss decreased a bit and I was hungrier in the evening during my normal fasting hours! I'm on a ketogenic diet and intermediate daily fasting because of insulin intolerance and a heart condition which is complicated by my overweight condition which I started developing after my first heart attack because I could not longer exercise… that was over two years ago and I've suffered a total of four heart attacks in the past two years! And the extra weight is extremely hard for my heart! The ketogenic diet and intermediate daily fasting program is the only diet that has worked for me with my now sedentary lifestyle! In fact it has increased my energy level enough that I can now finally start going for walks again! (Farther than just walking across the room!)
This was an excellent video. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
This answered a lot of questions I had. Great video and easy to understand. Thank you so much!
Thanks!
Honest question here…not knocking the keto diet. Do you have a video or info of what to tell people when they say you need carbs in your diet to get certain vitamins or that eating so much fat clogs your arteries? I know that it doesn’t but that seems to be the main opposing argument out there to eat this way…thanks
I'm so thrilled to have stumbled across Dr Magg's chat about Keto. I wonder if hormones play a part in weight gain and if a Ketogenic diet is effective for weight loss…. Menopause is not for sissies!
Thanks ! You talk very clearly and slowly so you are easy to understand 👍 And your contents are very valuable 👍😔I had a look at the range of recipes you have downloaded.. I like the fact they are filed by ingredients it’s very helpful Thanks again !
I love that u said dry wines. Thank god… I love to have a glass or 2 on a weekend. So far in the ketogenic diet I lost almost 40 lbs in 6 months. I did come off the diet for a month and I had lots of cheats because of my social life but I try to get back on right after
Brilliant explanation!
What about kambucha that would be a good vid suggestions
If I drink a Full bottle of Morgan's spiced Rum with Pepsi Max, the next morning my ketones are through the Roof! Can't figure it out at all!
Thanks Dr. Dan! I just found you today. Quite interesting. I am a 20 year long Type 2 Diabetic, and I am 45 years old. I am wondering while fasting or living the keto lifestyle, which I have not committed to yet, but I am trying to work up to it (so far I have been trying to fast more and for longer frequencies. In your experience, do patients who are in a similar situation to mine, do better by going off insulin or staying with long acting insulin. Clearly I am asking for your clinical experience and not any advice for me! 🙂
Love your accent…….where do you live??general area??helpful info l was looking for
Is this a good diet for a diabetic? Wondering because of going into ketosis
I started keto 2 weeks ago i have been missing my wine.. i have had few Vodka and diet cokes .. looks like that needs to be with fizzy water and lime instead🤣
stick with carb free liquor and only drink once a month or so…at least thats the way l do it….carb free isnt calorie free.
I quit drinking for 2 months when I started Keto. I'm a beer drinker and used to drink micros. Especially IPAs. When I restarted drinking I went with Miller Lite. (It only has about 3 carbs) After taking that 2 months off, I was pleasantly surprised by how good that Miller Lite tasted. I now have 3-5 Miller Lites once or twice a week. I'm down 70 lbs in just over a year now and am continuing to lose weight. I have about 30 more lbs to go to reach my goal of 185lbs.
