Re Cocktails & Mocktails:  Cocktails have their place in celebrations, even on a low carb diet. If you don’t include alcohol in your lifestyle, “mocktails” can be a creative way to celebrate with a special drink.

Re Healthy Drinks: water is considered the 4th macronutrient, and it is a critical component for health or if you are on a fat loss journey.

When on a keto or low carb diet, your body handles water and electrolytes differently, potentially causing dehydration and imbalances. As a result, your hydration requirements are more significant than normal.

Dehydration is a known side effect of low carb diets, and it can stall fat loss.  More importantly, it can cause a host of negative and sometimes dangerous health issues.

While water is the easiest, cheapest and most effective way to stay hydrated, many people have a tough time drinking enough of it.  This category offers a range of healthy drinks that can supplement water on low carb diets.
