Is wine allowed?

Hi

I started this diet on Monday and feel great- I usually have a glass of wine or 2 a night- is this okay? I have checked and a 5 oz glass only has app. 3 grams of carbs.

It's not really about counting the carbs....... it's about eating the same carbs as cavemen.....so veggies and fruits. Wine isn't strictly paleo, but some do drink it occasionally. Maybe reduce from 2 glasses to one, as there are some well publised benefits to having the odd glass of red.

I'd say drink away! though I agree with nicki that you should reduce it down to 1 glass.

this isnt a low-carb diet, its a no-nonsense diet. :p   I eat a lot of carbs, but paleo friendly carbs

Maybe add the Elephant Diet to your regime and eat fruit that has naturally fermented. Elephants have been known to walk a long way to get drunk like this. I suspect mammoths might have done the same.
