fightin the fat !
I am only at the end of week two..and i have not cheated once..any time it crosses my mind i feel racked with guilt... i have dreamt that i ate and when i woke up i was sooo gutted..until i realized it was all a dream... i think a very low carb diet would suit some people better..that way you can still be in ketosis as well as eat certain food..you would have to take lots of vits and supplements tho... i find LT easier then draining my brain about what i can or cant eat..and also once im eating anything i may give in to other stuff too..with LT its nothing not even a nibble..xx only a smell lol xx

DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL IF YOU ARE KETOTIC!
Alcohol is a powerful inhibitor of gluconeogenesis. In fact, it forces part of the gluconeogenic metabolic process into reverse. This means that if all the glucose in the blood is being derived from gluconeogenesis then the consumption of alcohol will inevitably cause the blood glucose level to fall. Worse still, the alcohol also stops ketone body production, thus leaving the brain entirely without fuel.
A person who is ketotic is 100% reliant on gluconeogenesis to maintain adequate levels of glucose in the blood. If, under these circumstances alcohol is taken, the person will become disorientated and might lose consciousness, not just from the alcohol, but from low blood sugar. Needless to say, this could be very dangerous, and even fatal.
Alcohol does not have these effects if the glycogen stores in the liver are normal. Under these circumstances the blood glucose level in the blood is maintained by the breakdown of liver glycogen, a process that is not influenced by alcohol. If a person becomes confused under these circumstances it is due simply to the pharmacological effects of the alcohol
Just incase you didnt find the thread

Nope, not cheated once in 12 weeks. It's pointless, it only means you'll be on the diet for longer - why do that to yourself?
