The plate

  • 70%non-starchy vegetables
  • 20%protein
  • 10%added fat

Steps

  1. 01Do not stack a brutal fast on a hangover. Eat two salted keto meals.
  2. 02Egg yolks and greens — choline while the liver files last week.
  3. 03Nutritional yeast or pork for B1. Alcohol spends thiamine.
  4. 04Magnesium at night. Skip the ‘wine for sleep’ story.
  5. 05If stopping alcohol makes you shake, sweat, or seize — that is a clinic, not a recipe.

Eat

  • Eggs
  • Greens
  • Broth
  • Nutritional yeast
  • Avocado
  • Olive oil

Skip

  • Hair of the dog
  • Sugary mocktails
  • OMAD on day one of a pause

Food-first notes

  • Electrolyte powder

    The first stack in almost every Healthy Keto protocol. Replaces what the kidneys dump when insulin falls.

  • Magnesium glycinate

    Sleep, cramps, and vitamin D activation. Oxide is cheap and poorly absorbed for many.

  • Nutritional yeast

    B1, B3, and B5 are often discussed for keto-adaptation, nerves, and stress load. Yeast is the tasty way there.

  • Choline from yolks

    Liver fat export. The cheapest ‘supplement’ in the kitchen.

Alcohol withdrawal can be medically dangerous. This plate is food. It is not detox, treatment, or a substitute for addiction care. Educational only — not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
