You do realise alcohol oxidises into acetaldehyde then ketone bodies & burns much faster & more cleanly than carbs? gtoomey after the stress ive been under, i dont honestly care how it metabolizes. heh.. i just need a moment to relax. as infrequently as i drink, im due.

Good luck to you.

Antidepressants are a type of medication, like an antibiotic or antiemetic or antipyretic. Taking or requiring them doesn't mean the person is a lost cause by any means. Illnesses that exhibit themselves in behavioral symptoms are still illnesses. They aren't character flaws.

Pure alcohols such as gin, rum, vodka, whiskey as long as they aren't mixed with anything that has carbs. I don't know the answer to your question, but how about a small glass of dry wine instead? >does anyone know of any liquors that are low carb? i dont like beer, so LC >beers are out. any help would be really appreciated. ----- Bev i dont like wine, or beer... just something mixed with a diet cola or diet sprite or something would do nicely. like i said, i dont do the alcohol thing much, just wanted a quick something or other.

Basically any plain old spirits will do. Vodka, gin, whiskey, rum. Just be careful you don't get one of those fou-fou rums that has a bunch of sugar and flavoring added to it. Dry wines are pretty lc too. Just be careful, because when you're on lc the effect of liquor is sometimes far greater than when you're not lc'ing (sometimes called the "cheap date syndrome"). I like sf Tang and vodka, or rum and Diet Coke myself, or a spritzer made with dry wine or sherry and soda water on ice with a twist of some kind of citrus.

Tia, Yesterday in the Houston Chronicle there was an article about a low carb margarita mixer that might interest you called Zilch. I bought some yesterday and can't wait to try it. Here's where the story is: http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/food/3038310 I thought you might be interested too.

See my sig. Signature370/280/270 Single malt scotch is awesome (NO it does NOT have carbs as DON'T vodka, gin, rum, bourbon, etc generally) Malt can be made low carb through the judicious use of yeast. Low carb beer? Uh...yeah. Read the books. You can have more than eggs for breakfast. Yes calories do count. Ketosticks are not neccessary to lose weight. Email: Actually my feet are big not medium. |
