Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / May 2006first post
Hello All, 050606 I have deleted the FAQ posting by mistake before reading it, but I suspect I'll see it again. I am looking into lc alcoholic beverages. Does anyone have any drink recipes or leads on lc beers beyond Michelob Ultra and Latrobe Rock Green Light. I have read The Low Carb Bartender by Bob Skilnik. Jimmy 280/275/180 5'10.5" If you really want to lose 100 pounds, you'd be better off not drinking any alcohol. > Hello All, 050606 > I have deleted the FAQ posting by mistake before reading it, [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Jimmy > 280/275/180 5'10.5" I know the alcohol will not propel me on the speedy path to weight loss, but a little lc beer or a mixed drink should be allowable. I do know alcohol was not primarily involved in my weight gain. I have always eaten like a wolf. For many years I ate once a day and gained weight. With a family now and a desk job, I am eating more often and less active. Jimmy > If you really want to lose 100 pounds, you'd be better off not drinking any > alcohol.

That's a little harsh, don't you think? I drink three low-carb beers per week and have not had any ill effects. My weight is still coming off, and my T2 numbers are coming down. As with carbs, there should be an absolute maximum of alcohol that someone can consume without putting their weight-loss, T2 numbers in serious jeopardy. > >I know the alcohol will not propel me on the speedy > > path to weight loss, but a little lc beer or a mixed drink [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > >> > Jimmy > >> > 280/275/180 5'10.5"  SignatureMDS (Mister Doctor Sir) >> Excuses won't help. > > That's a little harsh, don't you think? Perhaps, but the more you lose the the harder it gets. Might as well develop good habits right away. > I have deleted the FAQ posting by mistake before reading it, > but I suspect I'll see it again.

You know there's a magic zero carb beer available, right? It even comes in concentrated form - Just add water to the concentrate and it expands out to normal strength beer with no carbs. Of course like any other near-zero-carb replacement it isn't exactly the same as the carby variety but folks do develop a taste for it. It's called "whiskey". As the resident curmodgeon pointed out, it's likely to interfere with loss. Hi Doug, 050706 I've made Whiskey Tea lately, and I seem to like any mixture from zero tea to zero whiskey. I'll try watery whiskey again. I really do not need any more caffeine after my daily coffee. I have developed a taste for bitter things like tea, coffee, and the whiskey tea really was pretty good. I plan on experimenting with de-caffeinated tea. Thanks Jimmy > > I have deleted the FAQ posting by mistake before reading it, > > but I suspect I'll see it again.

I say leave out the caffeine and the whiskey, but if you must have something, keep the caffeine. :: Hi Doug, 050706 :: I've made Whiskey Tea lately, and I seem to like any mixture [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] ::: As the resident curmodgeon pointed out, it's likely to ::: interfere with loss. |Hello All, 050606 |I have deleted the FAQ posting by mistake before reading it, |but I suspect I'll see it again.

The "Low Carb Bartender" didn't list the low carb beverages? Weird. Miller Lite is very close to Michelob "Ultra in carbs. I think Ultra has around 2.5, while Miller Lite has 3.5. Michelob also has a LC amber beer now. It's OK, but not as good as many of the regular similar beers. Hard liquor, ie gin, whiskey, vodka, rum, has zero carbs, so you can mix any of those with LC beverages, like diet tonic water, diet coke, etc. The liquors you need to avoid are any of the sweet ones, like Bailey, Kaluha, etc. Hi trader4, 050706 Thanks! I have not heard of the amber beer from Michelob. I'll look into it. I've lower standards than some folks, so maybe I'll like it. I love the convenience of beer over mixing up drinks. I think I have not replied correctly to folks in this ng from Outlook Express. I have not seen my own responses. I think I have to "reply to group" rather than "reply". I'm just learning.

Alcohol has calories and it is burned instead of fat as long as any is in your system. While alcohol isn't a carb you can count alcohol calories as carb calories to approximate this effect. If you consume enough alcohol calories to matter, maybe counting those calories as carbs will help motivate you to cut back. If you consume little enough alcohol that the calories are trivial, likely you're not going to have a problem delaying fat burning a few hours. > The liquors you need to avoid are any of the sweet ones, like > Bailey, Kaluha, etc. There are a small number of liquer types that are fancy flavored but not sweet. Rather than tracking which is which I find it easier to stick with small amounts of the hard stuff or the occasional beer. Thank you all for your input on the booze thing! It does seem to slow my weight loss at least a little. I have a better scale at work, and I'll continue with a nip or two the next couple of weeks. If it doesn't work out. I'll just have to give it up until I can introduce more carbs. I think a weak whiskey and water has just replaced my whiskey & tea.

The book was written 2 years ago when there were only 2 or 3 LC beers. Anybody can read a label from a low-carb beer. No one knows the carb counts of real beers. The book lists over 1000 beers with their carbs. Weird? |
