OK Lew,

Here is a new thread to jump start this NG.

Does anyone have an experience with beer and dieting ?

I did the South Beach diet recently, mainly the two week induction phase.
Then, I continued with a modified diet. I went from 205lbs to 180lbs in 3
months.

The bad part was no alcohol for the 2 weeks. I survived and now have 4 or
so microbrews a week. I found myself starting to restart some bad eating
habits and gained 5 lbs.

The diet avoids sugars, especially in carbohydrates. The author seems to
support wines but poo poos beer.
