so I recently had a question about

alcohol can I drink on a keto in in a

minute fasting plan because after all

you know at zero carbs and I’m not going

to do wine or beer I’m just gonna do

hard liquor so even the dietary

guidelines about the USDA said that you

know one drink a day for women and two

drinks a day for men so it can’t be that

bad that’s pretty much drinking in

moderation and there’s probably certain

antioxidants in the alcohol so it

shouldn’t hurt me too bad right well

let’s just take a look at a couple

things okay so alcohol even no certain

types of alcohol is zero carbohydrates

it it’s a solvent it acts as a poison or

a toxin to the liver it kills liver

cells it kills brain cells it leads to a

fatty liver in fact ninety to a hundred

percent of alcoholics have a fatty liver

and then that leads to inflammation and

then fibrosis and then cirrhosis once

cirrhosis sets in which is scar tissue

around the liver I think it’s going to

be not just difficult to reverse that if

not impossible to reverse that so you

don’t want to get to that point but

alcohol does deplete vitamins especially

B vitamins it dehydrates you and it

blocks fat-burning okay so it’s gonna

knock you out of fat-burning so let’s

say for example it’s a Friday night and

you drink just kind of realize you’re

not going to burn fat for at least 48

hours so the question is can you drink

when you’re doing keto well of course

you can as long as you’re willing to

experience these effects and not burn

fat for several days hey you know what I

just want to say thank you for watching

these videos you made it this far I

appreciate your attention and your

precious time
