EFGT and Vodka?

mom2dm · 01-15-2009, 01:59 PM

I ordered the new Barry Groves book and waiting to receive it. I was wondering if Vodka is allowed on this diet in moderation?

Thanks!

I have no idea. I looked up alcohol and there is no listing for it in his book.
Many peeps gain when they use alcohol, some don't..It's an individual thing..

He has mentioned that he drinks a glass of wine with dinner sometimes and prefers a vodka tonic to vodka in orange juice. But then he is on maintenance and not losing weight phase, so CArolyn is right - it depends. I think what he said is that alcohol is metabolized differently than other carbs so in moderation it can be ok, but be careful and don't mix it with anything sugary.
