Carbohydrates with a low-glycemic index include foods such as nonstarchy vegetables, fruit, legumes, nuts and diary products, according to the report in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

I understand some wines (at moderation...one glass at a time) are lower in the glycemic value.

But does anyone know of a beer that is "lower-glycemic?"

Are there some better than others? (i.e. Porter, Heffe, Ale, Stout....vs. "Michelob Ultra")

Or is it just wishful thinking?

Mmmmmmmmm.....

Oh baby. I never gave up red wine (dry, not sweet)

White and blush are fine too.

All clear alcohol - Vodka, Rye, Whisky, Bourbon -- all are fine. Beware the mixers. Anything "Crystal Light" goes with Vodka. Scotch, Rye and Whisky all work with club soda. Use diet coke as an alternate to full strength.

And Beer - yes, all light beer ranges around 12 carbs a bottle. Go for it. Most people have a limit of 50 carbs a day - take a fifth and live a litte.

I don't know about beer, but I've always had a weakness for Classic Coke. I can't drink diet soft drinks of any kind because they all taste like battery acid to me, but I've recently discovered a great alternative that's always been right under my nose: Carbonated water, be it club soda, seltzer, Perrier, etc. I like it with a twist of lime.

To me, the pleasure has always been the combination of the carbonation and the acidity, not the sweetness. I limited but could never elminate the Coke from my diet, until I discovered carbonated water.
