    1. Hi Nomsa

      Strictly speaking if you’re going to have a glass of red wine in the evenings you should cut some carbs from your daily intake from somewhere else – this is especially true if you’re diabetic, insulin resistant or really trying to lose weight.

      However, if you’re managing your weight successfully & sticking to a low-carb diet it shouldn’t make much difference to you if you have a glass of red wine every day.

      If you’re still unsure it’s probably best to consult a dietician to put your mind at rest.

      Also, red wine is way better than beer or other alcohol.

      Hope this helps…

      Firstly I’m not a registered dietician or medico, so it’s probably best to get a qualified opinion from your doctor or nutritionist.

      However, it does seem that a low-carb, sugar free diet does benefit diabetics, sometimes to the extent that they even come off their meds completely, as experienced by Tim Noakes.

      Furthermore, a LCHF diet high in meat, like Banting, Keto & Paleo, should improve iron levels – but it would still be advisable to get a second opinion.

      All the best
