When you take into account other beverages such as your morning coffee or tea, and maybe one or two more during the day, do you think you might run out of your carb allowance for the day? I think so. If you were to use one cup of dairy milk with your protein shake this would account for more than half of your carb count for the day. What if you were to have a protein shake during the day? What do you usually add to yours? Personally I have mine with almond milk because I prefer the taste of it instead of just water. I know that sounds like a lot of milk in one cup, but hey, some people like their coffee and tea milky :)! If you were to have at least 6 cups of coffee or tea, each with about 1/4 cup of milk, this would easily put you over your carb count for the day. In one 250 ml glass of dairy milk, there is 12.5 grams of carbohydrates. When I switched from carb burning for energy to fat burning, I quickly realized how high in carbohydrates dairy milk is. Cow’s milk, however, was the only option for us back then. The process of making tea can also have a mindfulness quality and a calming effect too. Luckily for me having a cup of tea means I can still keep myself in ketosis. So later down the track, I too became indoctrinated into their tea drinking habits. They moved to Australia when my dad was very young, but that didn’t change their food and drinking habits. My dad was raised by an English mum and Irish father. That might have had something to do with my family of origin. You’re either fat burning or carb burning.

So what you put inside makes a difference to whether you lose that body fat or not.īeverages are no different. The goal of being in ketosis is to for your body to convert fat to ketones which burns both body fat and consumed fat. When following the keto diet, there’s a few things to consider, this includes drinks as well.
