Alcohol on the diet, advice please!

[harveysmummy2007]

Hi im new to this site.
I have been doing ss+ for 4 weeks now and lost a total of 15lb.

I was wondering if anyone has had a few alcoholic drinks while doing the diet?
And also if having a few does it take you out of ketosis.

The reason i ask is it was my birthday on thurs and im going on a night out tonight and i would like to have a drink, i dont really want to drink water all night.
I know i will be adding calories, just not sure about ketosis, does anyone know?

Please let me know if you do.

Thanks

I do know that it is dangerous to drink while you are doing this diet, I don't actually know why. I'm sure someone will come along soon with the reasons why you should not drink..

Happy Birthday. ;-)

Hi
Thanks for the reply, i asked my CDC if i could drink and she said it was up to me as i would be adding calories but she didnt say it was dangerous at all.

I just dont want it to take me out of ketosis and i have to start all over again with the headaches.

Drinking alcohol whilst in Ketosis can be very dangerous. It's advisable if you know you're going to be drinking it to make sure you're out of ketosis beforehand.

There's a sticky for all the info on it in the FAQ's section, here's the link....
