Hi Dave,

I also like beer but here are a few things you should know about this way of eating and beer. The first is you get drunk a lot quicker when on a low carb diet. A 12 pack would make me seriously ill - about 2 beers is all I can manage now.

Second point is that it is very bad for weight loss. The body prefers to burn alcohol before fat and everything else - also it makes you retain water. On 2 beers I immediatly put on a kilo (2lbs) and it takes days to go away.

I don't know about your lite beers as they are not available here.

I'm not saying never drink beer again - I'm just saying take it easy.
