Limiting your carbohydrate consumption can help you to lose weight. However, you should only embark on a low-carb diet at a doctor’s recommendation. This is because low-carb diets can lead to heart and bone health problems and nutritional deficiencies. [See Reference 1] Although drinking alcohol and dieting seem incompatible, a moderate intake of wine or beer can be a part of a low-carb diet. [See Reference 2] In general, though, wine is a much better option for low-carb eating.

Beer
Standard beers range from 10 to more than 20 grams of carbs in a 12-ounce glass. At the low end, stouts and lagers contain 10 to 11 grams in a glass. Porters, ales and wheat beers span the middle of the spectrum, with various flavors and sweeteners providing 12 to 20 grams of carbs per serving. Sweet, strong beers, such as barley wine, can contain as much as 25 grams of carbs in a 12-ounce glass. In contrast, light and low-carb beers generally contain just 2.5 to 10 grams of carbs in a 12-ounce glass. [See Reference 2]

Wine
Despite the range of carb content in beers, all varieties of beer are higher in carbohydrates than most red and white wines. In an average-sized glass, red wine contains 2 grams of carbs, while white wine has about 1 gram — less than even the lowest of the low-carb beers. Even sweeter, fortified wines are lower in carbs than most beers. Sherry, for example, contains only 5 carbs in a standard glass, about equivalent to a light or low-carb beer. Dessert wines go against this general trend, however, with these very sweet wines providing as many as 14 grams of carbs in a standard glass. [See Reference 2]

Lets hope..., and forgotten too.

I don’t want that “blank” running for office.

Yes, I see positive results in my nails. Not sure about skin & hair, as menopause is messing that up for me, so I recently added a women’s multivitamin for skin, hair & nails.
But I had and ankle fusion last year and I feel the collagen helped me to heal more quickly, plus I experienced less joint pain than with my previous ankle surgeries.
Collagen does not upset your stomach. It’s very good for the digestive system, and is actually helpful to heal gut issues. Some people also report that it helps them sleep more soundly.

Thank you. I read a lot of reviews, and people definitely seem to derive benefit from it. And it’s nice to have if you don’t have the time to be making bone broth all the time.

low-carb...Beer...Wine

If you can control yourself, how about some good old fashioned booze?

Have it on the rocks, or with a water chaser. Buy the low octane stuff and only have one or two.

Sounds pretty low-carb to me.

I eat a low carb diet (no rice, bread, pasta...the good stuff). Skinny as a bean pole...and low cholesterol too.

Work out daily and still drink beer.

I saw the light a couple of years ago and yep, low carb eating works.

Michelob Ultra advertises low carb, it appears to be true.

Instead of bread, I use Romaine lettuce and make wraps.
