That's is beer low carb?

Beer is not a high-carb food. Of course, when you are talking beer, quantity is the key factor! Most beers have from 10-15 carbs per 12-oz bottle. Thus if you have a beer or two at night (like me), it is not going to ruin your low-carb diet, unless you are real fanatical about carbs.

As you've probably read, I do a lot of aerobic exercise, 7-10 miles a day of power walking. So I can handle more carbs than the average low-carber. Still, my daily carbs rarely exceed 70g a day and are always under 100g. For comparison, I reckon I used to eat over 500g of carbs every day in the "bad old days" when I was fat! (The average American eats 425g a day.)

I must say that my daily beer drinking motivates me to go out there every day and exercise. I'm "earning" those beers!

BTW, there are "low-carb" beers out there like Michelob Ultra that contains only 2.6g of carbs a bottle. I've tried that beer and to my palate, at least, it is truly awful. If I had to drink that every night, I'd be a teetotaler in no time at all!
