Best way to come out of ketosis for a night out?

Hi everyone,

I know the refeed sheets we are all given advise us to come out over a week to prevent huge weight gains etc, but if we want to go out and have a drink, what is the quickest least damaging way to do it for one night, with the intention of resuming VLCD plans the next day? Looking online but most sources I'm coming up with are either opinion based or going on about refeeds. I don't want to refeed yet, this is just as a one day thing.

Is it calorie or carb based, or both? Anyone able to give me some good advice on this as I don't want to just hit McDonalds and grab a super size meal to do it, but would rather have something healthy that day prior to going out that could ensure I'm not going to be ill if I have a drink.

Thanks in advance.
 
Carbs take you out of ketosis not calories :)
 
Ok, I can work on that then. I'll find something low calorie and higher in carbs. I did see someone advised to have higher carbs for breakfast on the day you want to come out of ketosis and have a lighter lunch. I'm half dreading the scales after but I know it's only temporary and I'll be back on the plan inbetween nights out and in man if I need to. I haven't had a drink now for about 2 months and being as it's Christmas and also a free bar I intend to make the most of it (not getting wasted, but at least having a few glasses).
 
Try starchy veg parsnips potatoes etc. low in cals but higher in carbs. It also won't take you that long to get back into ketosis.
 
I had a jacket potato for dinner on the Tuesday then that evening the meal contained a carrot, parsnip, potato & turkey, so I'm hoping to be back in ketosis tomorrow. Must remember to try my pee stick.
