I just read an article about how the keto diet can help alcohol withdrawl. Has anyone tried keto and noticed any impact on drinking or slowing down/quitting?

It basically has to do with how heavy drinkers bodies use acetate from alcohol as fuel as opposed to glucose, and our bodies get used to that, so keto helps our bodies do what they are used to as we recover and reduce heavy drinking.

I would have to see studies to know if there is validity.

I've cut down significantly and still have work to do. I've noticed I do well in social settings out, but when I am home alone or having friends over on the weekend I tend to over do it and set my taper back.

This weekend I'm going to be mindful of my drinking, and not let the weekend set my taper back.
