Whenever I go out for drinks with my girlfriends we always plan on just having "one drink" - but inevitably we get a little carried away and end up stumbling home at a later hour than planned with a wee bit too much alcohol in our systems. While alcohol should always be consumed in moderation, it is okay on the Keto diet, as long as you drink the right things. Normally I stick to vodka sodas as they're reliably carb free and I personally find them to be quite delicious. However last night was martini night at our favorite bar, which resulted in some slight dietary errors on my part.
As I was feeling a bit pooped when it came time for cocktails, I decided to order an espresso martini as that was exactly what my friend was having. However, after looking up the carb-content of your standard espresso martini I, sadly, discovered that I had unintentionally consumed a whopping 32 grams of carbs - in one drink! Needless to say I quickly switched back to vodka, but that one beverage significantly altered my nutrient breakdown for the day.
eep!
Hopefully this little error, albeit a delicious error, doesn't kick me out of ketosis!
