Can Merlot kick me out of ketosis?
I have been eating extremely low carb high fat for three weeks and I thought I was in ketosis. However, I bought the strips and it shows I am not. If I am drinking Merlot at night, and staying within my 5% carb 20% protein 75% fat regiment, could that keep me out of being in ketosis? And, I have not lost 1 pound in the three weeks. I have approximately 35 lbs left to lose. Currently 5 foot 8 1/2 inches, 181 Lbs.

Yes, alcohol can knock you out of ketosis. I would eliminate it from your eating and see if your weight begins to move. Also if you eat dairy or excessive amounts of nuts, this can cause a stall (at least in my case). Becky

I use only whipping cream with 0 carbs. Is that okay on a keto diet?
