Awwww sorry to hear that, I'm dreading the weekend though, just miss my takeaway and wine, and a client just gave me some gorgeous Belgian chocolates and an expensive bottle of red wine as a thank you , now I've got to put them away until a special occasion, where as before I would have eaten and drank them tonight!!!!! But being thin is much more important to me, I want to enjoy being confident rather than hiding away x. Hope you get your energy back x

Doing ok, my days off are probably harder, but I come on here and it keeps me positive, had my shake and on my 2nd bottle of water. When I've done other diets before I've always been picking here and there...bite of toast here a choc biscuit there, on this diet nothing passes my lips ...that's never ever happened before!!!!! I've shocked myself. But this diet isn't cheep so if I'm going to cheat it would be a waste... How have you been?

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!
