So no more heavy drinking on a LC diet for me :\ Anyone else experience this?
On a plus side the water weight bloat is gone after 3 days back in ketosis made the new clothes that I had purchase fit perfectly again when they were starting to feel tight after my break from the diet, straddling the L/XL range sucks!
No beer, but you can have vodka, rum, gin, tequila, whiskey, scotch, brandy and cognac. Be careful of Mixed Drinks due to the typically carb heavy stuff they add to them, and in terms of chasers, you're pretty much restricted to water and diet drinks/sodas. Some wines can be low-carb as well.
I did my heaviest drinking from 2010 to 2012 (at least every Friday and Saturday, sometimes more), which coincides with the period where I lost 160 pounds, so it's more than possible to not sacrifice drinking while LC dieting.
The only issue are drinking games link Beer Pong, but people were more than willing to let me drink straight liquour in place of a swallow of beer lol.
One warning though. Your reasoning tends to go out the window when you're drunk/wasted, and I sometimes I found myself in some fastfood joint at 2 in the morning with friends. So while you may be good on the liquour front, the drunken food urges you get might kill you
