Low Carb / red wine ketosis question?
474719
Hi.  Sour Beach dieter here.\n\nRed wine contains only 2.41 grams of carbs per 5 oz. serving and has no sugar.  It shouldn't knock you out of ketosis (unless you drink 6 gallons at a clip - lol)

If you are Diabetic and you insist on consuming alcohol keep the following guidelines in mind:\n-- Never drink on an empty stomach. Alcohol on an empty stomach can cause a low blood sugar reaction in a diabetic. \n-- Food with the drink! \n-- Avoid mixers / mixed drinks / flavored liquors that contain loads of sugar. Choose light beers, white wine, diet drink (as a mixer).\n-- Drink only when your Diabetes is in good control (check your BG to make sure) and only when your health care team says it is OK.\n\nMost people think that alcohol actually raises blood sugar levels, but in fact it doesn't. Alcohol isn't metabolized into glucose and therefore can cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Be sure to follow the guidelines above if you drink. The best advice for the diabetic drinker is DON'T DRINK! Sorry!

I HATE STUPID SARCASTIC ANSWERS!  \n\nTry eating a little something with your wine.  Cheese, a couple of crackers, not much, just little finger foods.  I love wine and it does the same to me.  I went to a wine sampling event and they served small snack type foods and it made a world of difference.  It also improved the taste of wines.  \n\nTry the link below to match up some foods with your choice of wine.

I just had my gall bladder removed 5 days ago, after my first gall bladder attack and discovery of inflammation and gall stones.  My surgeon put me on a low fat diet while in the hospital and recommended that I stay on the low fat diet for at least the first week after I am released from the hospital.  \n\nI specifically asked about beef, as I have been told by many that they can no longer eat beef after gall bladder removal.  I was told I should be able to eat beef, but not for the first week.  I was also told that I can enjoy my shrimp, but as butter is the main ingredient in shrimp scampi, dining at Red Lobster is out for a while.\n\nAs for those who have issues with eating at Subway after this surgery, they are probably not staying within the guidelines of a low fat diet, when making their sandwich choice.  There are 4 sandwiches that come to mind immediately that should be avoided because of the fat grams.  Stay away from the Meatball Marinara, the Cold Cut Combo, the Tuna and the Seafood Sensation.  Those 4 are higher in fat grams than other choices available.  There are now 8 sandwiches that have under six grams of fat, when you choose a six-inch portion, and avoid the cheese, mayonnaise, olives and olive oil.\n\nAlso, there are many different flavors of Baked Lays that have been offered at Subway for quite some time.  So a person can have a decent lunch or dinner there, and should not have any complications from eating, if they watch the fat grams.\n\nAll QSRs (Quick Service Restaurants) should have a nutritional guide available either online, or at the location to assist people with making their dining choices.\n\nI didn't eat too much from the burger places prior to my surgery and I don't plan on doing that now.\n\nThe most difficult thing for me to either cut back on, or give up, will be cheese.  However, a month ago, I listened to a guest host on Rush Limbaugh explain why the French are not as overweight as we are.  When you combine fruit and cheese, the two interact differently and fewer calories are stored as body fat.  So the French with their wine and cheese, are actually on to something healthy.  That fruit plate with cottage cheese isn't looking quite so bad any more, and it satisfies my cravings for cheese.\n\nI know my answer is lengthy, but I am trying to be informed, and help inform others who are traveling down the same road that I am.

rum & diet cola are definatly the best , it has no sugar & no carbs, beer & wine are full of sugar & carbs, most beverages don't have fat anyway, so carbs & sugar are your enemy when it comes to drinking, try to stick w/ a clear rum & diet soda of any kind, if you must have beer & are a beer drinker, try michelobe ultra, although it does have a slightly flat taste.  It only has 2.6 carbs, verses regular beer that can have an average of 10 carbs.

NONE...ketones are a sign that your body is having to metabolize muscle mass to nourish itself!!  You need to eat more...

Try light, or nonfat vanilla yogurt, nonfat Axelrod cottage cheese with pineapples, part skim ricotta (i'm italian- i love it!), a glass of milk-us ladies need it!-dairy really fills you up! Carrots, apples, celery, watermelon, stone wheat crackers-very low carb-with low sugar and sodium Peanut Butter and DRINK PLENTY O WATER!! no soda, no juice, try a squeeze of fresh lemon or orange in it for taste ;-)\n\nThe less sugars and salts in your diet the less you desire to eat processed foods. \nAlso, honestly try out: www.FitDay.com . Every time I go back to that site I get a grip on reality. You enter the food you eat each day and it breaks down the calorie,s fats, proteins and alcohol in the food. You can add housework and sleeping and even sexual activity to calculate your calories burned each day, etc! It helps you understand alot about your body and the effect of what you put in it.\n\nDitch the cookies! I dont miss my Oreo's too much. I can have some when I lose 10lbs ;-)

I don't buy into no-carb and low-carb dieting. Carbs are essential for proper brain and liver function. Seriously, what kind of diet tells you not to eat an apple or carrot sticks because of carb content? And yet you can eat fried chicken and bacon to your hearts content?\n\nI would recommend instead that you research weight watchers and gain an understanding of portion sizes. Also, a simple switch to diet soda helps, too. Most people don't understand  or think to note how many calories they are sucking down when they get a 44 oz soda from down the street....

I decreased mine from over 600 to about 150. Here's how: diet, exercise, supplementation. In order now:\n1) Diet. I didn't do no carb, but I did cut out all bad carbs. Eat only low glycemic index carbs. Get adequate protein. 2) Excercise. I went from being sedentary to running a full 26.2 mile marathon. While helpful, I'm sure that you can do just fine by walking briskly 5 days a week, 45 minutes to an hour a day. 3) Supplementation. Lot's of quackery to avoid here. I basically only looked at peer reviewed medical journals (JAMA, Lancet, NEJM, etc). Here's what I take, your mileage may vary: one good mult-vitatmin/multi-mineral. In addition, 3 fish oil capsules, 2 garlic pills, 1000mg non flush Niacin, 1600mcg Folic Acid, 1 buffered aspirin, 2 flax oil pills. I think that's it. If you buy your stuff at Wal-Mart, it's pretty cheap. There may be doubters, but the proof is in the pudding, so to speak. It's hard to argue with the results. Good luck.

Alcohol contains too many empty calories which ultimately produces nothing but fat.  You would be taking 1 step forward and 2 steps back. Your best choice is no alcohol at all since there isn't one more favourable than other in terms of your goals.

Atkins or other low-carb plan.\n\nMaybe not the fastest, but for me it's the easiest and I don't have to go hungry.

General rules apply.....\nclearly not more than the recommended 21 units for men and 18 units for women in a week....\n\nImportant that type 2 diabetics realise that too much alcohol contributes to increasing weight due to the empty calories without nutrition\n\nand that alcohol can worsen fatty liver.....\n\nand increase your triglyceride levels which are already high thanks to type 2 diabetes\n\nand that while more than a pint or two of beer can put up your glucose,......\n\nwhile 5 pints or more of beer along with exercise like dancing can make your sugar go low especially if you have not eaten decently.......\n\nBUT on the whole, type 2 diabetics have more leeway with regard to type 1 diabetics, in that the swings in glucose acutely are not THAT acute.....with lower concerns of ketoacidosis..\n\ni wouldnt totally take to heart skewed studies which can look at only one aspect of diabetes and say alcohol is good for diabetics..but everything in MODERATION...SEE: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=16458538&query_hl=23&itool=pubmed_docsum

The idea behind the diet is that if we take in extra carboyhyrates, our body will use them and our fat stores won't decrease.  So what the diet tries to do is limit carbs and put the body into a state of ketosis.  Ketosis is what happens when the body starts to break down fat and protein for energy because it will lead a release of acid and thus make your blood more acidic.  This is where the kidney problems come in.  The idea of the diet itself is if the body is in a ketotic state it will burn fat for fuel and thus people will lose fat.  Excersising should be done at a normal level but if you excersise you  must make sure to take in enough carbs to give yourself energy and replenish your glycogen stores without taking your body out of ketosis.  This depends on the idividual person and the amount of excersise they do.  I cannot give you a number.  Most people think that it is a low carb and high fat and protein diet, but the real idea of it is a low carb and low calorie diet because the people who eat the same amount of calories because they just add fat and protein are defeating the purpose of the diet and are actually going to gain weight (cause fat has more calories per gram than carbs) and will also give themselves heart disease along with kidney problems.  The best advice is to pick up his book and read it, the first one, because if you pick up the second one you will get lost.  think long and hard and do your research about the diet before you start it.  also, go see your local dietitian and they will be able to provide you with more information.
