It can never be zero carb
This would suit me soooo well. Does it kick you out of ketosis?

It all depends on your body and metabolism. I've also been on it for a number of years now and been losing roughly 45-25-15-10 so it definatley slows down. But there are a number of other benefits for me: sugar, blood pressure , good cholesterol etc. I would experiment and see how it goes, watching your scale and how you feel. Its not an exact science. Would I totally return to carbs? No but I would probably slide along more to the low carb side ( <150carbs /day ) vs my keto ( <25carbs ) per day strict regimen. I have already lightened up but keeping in mind, good healthish carbs vs junk.
On the nutritional label on the bottle it says zero carbs.

Checked the website and its not possible for a beer to be zero carbs.
So they are blatantly lying on their website and packaging?
Not saying that. There's no nutritional information from the label. So don't know the ingredients.
Just that a true beer can't have zero carbs. Less than 1g, sure. But never zero.
Legally, they can claim zero carbs if the can contains a decimal of a gram of carbs. Low Carb books warn us of this and always say you should count it as 1 carb.
Castle Lite only has 2 carbs per bottle, so Stellenbrau is most likely between 0g and 1g per can/bottle, but not absolute zero

This what I do once every 7 days:
Bullet proof coffee for breakfast.
Skip lunch.
Start eating carbs at 3pm until 10pm.
I eat around 300 to 400 grams of carbs including sweets and any junk I've been craving.
By 10pm I'm out of Ketosis, but I'm back in Ketosis the next morning as verified by both blood testing and breath testing.
Quick check in/update. Started January last year at 109 kgs. Had a goal in mind - more size than weight. Reached that comfortably - size 32 Levi jeans (no stretch!) for the Guns n Roses concert. Weight was around 77 - 78 kgs. But from then on it was year end events, bike rally, quiet office (lame excuse) and Christmas/New Year. Weighed in on Monday at 88 kg. Loss for the year was 21 kgs, aiming to get to between 70 and 75 kgs. Need to get the mental side sorted, my biggest problem I have realised.
Keep it to 7 hours of carbs max, and late afternoon & evening works best. For interest sake I do my tracking with ketonix breath meter & freestyle optium ß-Ketone blood strips.
Will do. Thanks for the tips.
Don't own any monitoring gear but the metallic taste in my mouth is a clear indication of ketosis. Will probably look into the blood meter and strips you mention just to confirm.
The blood strips are EXPENSIVE... R40 to R50 each locally or something ridiculous! I bought for cheap on ebay a few years ago.
Stellenbrau has a better flavour than Castle lite but tastes more “watered down”.
