I should have typed in full name for my gin and soda I meant soda water! I used to drink it with diet tonic but when started this way of eating for first couple of months I gave up all artificial sweetners to get used to less sweetness in foods and drinks. Now I prefer soda water provided have lemon or lime slices with it it brings out the flavour of the gin I find. I also drink soda water in the week with a dash of cranberry bitters and lime slices.I’m now using erythritol as it’s an artificial sweetener that I find has no impact on my blood sugar and I can bake with it.I find that just having enough cream in my coffee stops the morning rise and many others also find this works. Some others I gather too have breakfast to combat this but cut lunch and have 2 meals that way. You need to experiment and find what works for you.I haven’t given up alcohol whilst dieting but have stuck to limiting it to weekends and one drink mainly unless special occasion. I drink a glass of dry white wine or fizz or red, or gin and soda water. It didn’t impact on my bloods or slow my weight loss or put me out of ketosis so I figured life’s too short! Again many do give up alcohol to lose weight as it hasn’t got much nutrition but I enjoy it...Good luck hope to see you on low carb forb bit of forum</blockquote>
