Welp. I have come to the conclusion that the reason I'm not seeing the dramatic drops for myself that I'm seeing for others on the Beast Challenge is that I have been holding on to my evening cocktail with a death grip. I assumed that since rum has 0 carbs, that it wouldn't affect my macros, throw me out of ketosis, or slow fat loss. Turns out, the first 2 are correct, the third is not.
It turns out that the body will burn the alcohol first, and then get back to burning fat. *Sigh*
How many freaking ways can I self-sabotage, especially when I don't have all the data?
So, starting with the new Beast 2.0, I will be alcohol free.
Why don't I start today? Because just as I had to mentally psych myself up to start this LCHF lifestyle, knowing it would be for life, I have to do the same to let go of a 20+ year nightly ritual of a rum and coke (or 2) to "unwind".
I'm not saying I'll never drink alcohol again, but if I want to make the changes in my body, I have to break the daily ritual. Save it for special occasions. Bonus: My tolerance will go down, so I'll be a cheap date! LOL

I've tried it Laura. I can't post emojis because I'm on a desk-top and I don't even know if they have a pukey one. lol Vodka is the only distilled spirit I DON'T like, Tequila, of course (not Quervo), Rum, Gin, Moonshine (hells yeah!), but Vodka, full stop, Captain! lol Jenny if I do anything other than SIP any of it I get stupid. Real stupid, and sipping maybe once or twice a year (that's why I don't mind shelling out close to $200 for a bottle of Blue Label haha). Scotch and Kentucky Bourbon are my absolute favorites, but when I run out of Walker I've got my eye on a bottle of Garrison Brothers Texas Straight Bourbon, should be excellent stuff. And nothing but affection for most of ya'll. lol

@C2B, I know, I was just joshin with him. @Phil, there's a sweet little distillery in my tiny town that makes moonshine locally. They do an apple pie one that is just yum for sipping. Next year, they want me to work with them on developing herbal medicinal blends for folks. They will do custom orders in 2 liter mini kegs. I'm looking forward to that endeavor!
