The focus of the keto diet is to restrict yourself of carbohydrates, our body stores carbs as glycogen which holds water. Depleting the glycogen stores can end up with you having dehydration so you need to make sure you are drinking a lot of water and replenishing that which is lost.

When on a keto diet you can drink the following.

Water:

Well, that is necessary for survival and there are no negatives of drinking water. You can have it iced, hot or sparkling or with lime, there are no restrictions. 

Coffee

You can drink sugar-free coffee. Perfect keto coffee is the bulletproof coffee which contains extra energy from fat, you can make it by stirring in fat in the form of butter or coconut oil. 

You have to avoid drinking milk as milk contains a lot of sugar (one glass contains about 15 grams of carbs).

You can use milk mildly in your coffee about 5 ml or a tablespoon. Avoid latte which has too much milk and can halt the progress of your keto-diet.

Bone-broth 

A warming soup like bone broth is a perfect beverage to go in a keto diet.1 bowl of Bone broth contains 0 carbs, 9 grams of protein and less than 50 calories.it can be any broth whether it is homemade or not. Stirring it with some butter is a great way to make it more flavorsome and you can get extra energy from it too.

Tea

Like coffee, tea must be sugar-free ,low-carb and calories free. Herbal tea is ideal,  and you can take that at night too as it doesn’t impact your sleep.

Alcohol

You can drink dry wine whether it’s red or white, champagne without sugar. Spirits such as vodka, rum, and whiskey have 0 grams of carbs per ounce serving. Mixing these with plain water or unsweetened sparkling water rather than fruit juice or soda can help you enjoy alcohol and at the same time cut the carbs out of it.

Sodas 

You would not even have questions when it comes to sodas in a keto diet. All of them have high amounts of sugars so they have to be avoided. The confusion starts when you start to think about diet sodas. Diet sodas generally are keto-friendly but according to studies, it is suggested artificially sweetened sodas tricks the body into craving the calories and carbs it believes it’s getting from the diet soda. When your body realizes it isn’t, you end up overeating.
