Drinking

[MrsFatBum]

ollie, you could have a couple of drinks after to celebrate the new you!... that goes to everyone really. stick to the programme, drinking would kill it, its not good for you especially coz of the whole ketosis thing. i know its easy for me to say coz i dont drink... but hey i drink COKE like god knows what and i have had to lay off that for the past 6 weeks!! you can all do it and it will be worth it. i know it seems mean that you will be going out and everyone else will be drinking and it may not seem as fun coz you'll be drinking water...but think of the benefits afterwards.... you'll go out many times in your life.... but get LT out of the way first!!!

Last time I went on re feed and had my first drink after day 5 I was fine on the night but I did not feel to well the next day, so be careful not to over do it.

And while I'm here. A member on this forum, Kirsty posted this earlier this week. Worth reading for anyone thinking of drinking!

I went out on Friday night and after much deliberation thought id be ok to have a drink.....i ended up only having 3 single drinks then stuck to water, i felt unwell and came home.

Luckily my sister was staying the night and my OH was home from worl because i collapsed TWICE!!!

I ended up in the Royal Hospital, by OH was told that my body was shutting down due to the ketosis and alcohol being mixed.

It was terribly scarey for both myself and my OH....i kno we all say there are dangers when drinking on LT but i just wanted to warn others as it is truely terrifiying!

I had no control of my body i.e legs arems and neck/head and also had blurred vision to the point i couldnt see anything.

Please DO NOT drink when on LT.

I have finally recovered- i was still unwell saturday and had the shakes untill sunday morning and also the dizziness.

PLEASE DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL WHILST ON LT!!

Take Care

Don't do it! I drank last year when i was just on a restart of lipotrim and i blacked out. Well in my mind a blacked out, pity my legs and mouth didn't give way too. I fought with all around me and have never ever done that in my life. I never remembered any of it. I thought i was dying for days.

wow! I'm only on day 3 and I am so glad I read this. I was thinking about drinking at a wedding i have at the strat of July. I guess I'll be on the water now

[poppy100]

electric bridget - do stick to water. i like sparkling water and have it in a wine glass , sometimes soda water for a change but always in a wine glass. enjoy - there will be alcohol in the future as there will be food.

I can only re-iterate whats been written on this thread.

On Friday night I was persuaded to go to the pub with hubby. I had 2 small glasses of white wine mixed with 3 (250ml) bottles of sparkling mineral water. I was fine at first then 15 mins later I was very drunk. I cant remember going to bed. The following morning I had an awful hangover, something I rarely get even after a whole bottle or more. Worse still, the ketostix showed only a trace of ketones in my urine - Friday morning had been ++Ketones. I've also been struggling with water intake since Friday.

I am now very sure I will wait until my holiday in July for my next glass of vino!!

Im on day 5 now, I love to have a nice cold woodpecker when it's a nice hot day. Guess the water will have to do. lol.

Glad I read this post. I don't actually drink much but was kind of still in the atkins mindset from last attempt to shift the poundage. Mind you do so wish diet coke was permitted.

Miss Diet Coke soooooooooo much

Hi,

I am so glad that I read these posts. It's my first real night out since starting Lipotrim, and I was planning on having 1 or 2 drinks. Definately a no no!

Thanks

Oops, I was on day 3 and went to London and it was a nice day so had a beer which led to a wine which led to more wine and burgers and completely lapsed (back on now) and I felt the worst Ive ever felt afterwards and I dont normally suffer from hangovers, I was never ever told the effects of ketosis and booze so good thread, thanks!

[jenny_belte]

hi just a quick question regarding the above. would i be able to drink a couple of alcopops if ive eaten 2 meals that day?
birthday coming up so im having a day off.

Jenny,you are taking big risk if you. Alcohol is alvohol no matter whethrr itz an alcopop or a spirit. stay off it for safety sake.
