How To Have A Low Carb Alcoholic Drink

Once you are past the induction phase, you can have a low carb alcoholic drink once in a while. As with anything, drinking should be done in moderation, but a few drinks can easily fit into your new low carb lifestyle.

If, however, after incorporating any alcoholic drinks into your habits, you notice that your weight loss stalls or you start to gain it is advisable to cut out the drinks and see if this corrects the problem.

Since most hard liquor or pure spirits such as vodka, gin, scotch and rum do not contain any carbs, you can simply drink those on the rocks or mix a low carb alcoholic drink by using any of these spirits with low carb or no carb soda, flavored water or juice.

It is important to remember that non diet sodas, juices and regular mixers have lots of carbs and these should be avoided. Also, those store bought pre mixed drinks should be avoided. If you are ordering out in a bar make sure you know exactly what the bartender is putting in your drink.

If you prefer wine or beer for your low carb alcoholic drink, there are many low carb beers out on the market today. If you prefer wine, go for the white wine which has about 0.9 grams carbs per glass (3 ½ ounces) as opposed to the red which is twice as much.

Your best bet for a low carb alcoholic drink is to avoid fancy drinks. Stay away from creamy drinks like white Russians and fancy mixed drinks such as daiquiris and pina coladas. A wine spritzer or vodka with cranberry juice might be a good choice. If you are mixing the drinks your self, you can always use diet sodas and have a good old rum and (diet) coke or try mixing vodka with some of the new flavored no carb waters.
