"Can I drink wine on a keto diet?" is a question we get asked a lot. Good Clean Wine has no added sugar or fructose and is additive-free, and our clients strive to live healthy lifestyles while still enjoying delicious wine.
Here's what we've personally discovered in our quest for a low sugar lifestyle. Individual results may vary.
Co-founder Michelle ate a low- to no-carb diet, went into ketosis and stayed there for two weeks. Then, in the name of, um, science, she took one for the team and drank an entire bottle of Synchronized Swimming rosé. The next morning she peed on pH strips (sorry—but I had to say it) and was still in ketosis.
One of our clients was in ketosis from a low-carb diet. She drank two glasses of Good Clean Red and stayed in ketosis (again, she peed on the strips).
Another client has completely cut sugar out of her diet for health reasons. However, she lamented to us that she misses an occasional glass of wine. She drank a glass of Good Clean Red and reported that her blood sugar level did not go up (she monitors it).
These are anecdotal stories, so remember everyone is different and responds differently to wine. But we felt compelled to share these first person accounts.
So, if you love wine and are following a keto or low-sugar diet, then we are happy to meet you!
