Keto diet

[Power_Pack_]

So im wanting to drink something with flavour, getting sick of plain water and black coffee!! Normally i would have no complaints, but my keto diet is bland and strict, so will drinking diet coke's and zero carb fizzy drinks be ok on this diet? Is there certain sweeteners i should avoid?

Besides having neurological effects, aspartame stalls or knocks one out of ketosis in about 25% of people. Check out zevia.com. They make natural sodas made with sugar alcohols and stevia, with zero calories and zero net carbs. All natural and tastes great. They have them, I know, at Whole Foods.

aspartame; But when the drink states zero carbs; does it spike your insulin like a high GI carb sorce then?

I wouldnt drink any sodas, drink white or green tea.

I don't know how aspartame knocks one out of ketosis, but it's reported to do so. It would have nothing to do with carbs, but perhaps it does affect insulin somehow. I really don't know and I'm not sure anyone else does either. You could try Google to learn more perhaps.

Diet coke every once and a while is fine and doesn't seem to knock me out of ketosis. ( but thats just me. We are all different. But figure out if you are one in the 25%) Ive heard of this before but I haven't felt the effects. If your really worried get some ketosticks and monitor the effect Of DC. I drink soda water but it is hi in sodium but there is others that are not which I have when I can find it. Water Water Water is a tool not just a drink. The more water you drink the less thirsty you will be so I don't see water being an issue other than getting monotonous. Also there is tea. I make my own earl grey Iced tea with splenda (which is not Aspertame) This is great and gives ya a kick in ze balls when needed. Also you can add Vodka for the weekends for some electric Iced tea if you wanna get the swerve on without fucking chit up.
