sleeman's clear beer vs diet coke and vodka/gin?

michellej24 · 08-05-2008, 01:14 PM

when low carbing and drinking, which one is better? sleeman's only has 2 grams of carbs, i don't think d/coke and vodka have any, but i know they can cause stalls. btw, when i do drink, at most i would have 3 beers. what would your choice be?

Doensn't matter-alcohol is alchol and will be consumed by the body before anything else for fuel. I don't like beer so I would pick the hard liquor.

I order vodka with soda water and I bring alot all different flavors of single servings of crystal lite... Strawberry, orange, banana, they are great!!

0 carbs and I don't gain weight and I still stay in ketosis while having them, which is only once a week!!

i havent had any alcohol since i started... wait... thats not true... i have 2 glasses of wine on sunday... um... but heres my question anyways....

i read somewhere that rum has 0 carbs... so back when i was doing atkins i used to drink rum and diet coke... but i've read how soda can cause a stall... i dont do vodka so thats not an option for me...

cathy77533 · 08-05-2008, 01:32 PM

Yes Agnes,

Your right... Rum has zero carbs..

I drink rum and diet cokes on occassion!!

Cuelgirl · 08-05-2008, 01:34 PM

so whats up with the diet coke then? i'm not a soda drinker anyways... but i would like to drink it with rum once in a while... i guess i just have to see how i react to it...

cathy77533 · 08-05-2008, 01:40 PM

I never had a problem with stalls...

Guess you have too experiment yourself.

Some say the splenda or whatever is in the diet coke causes stalls. I know If I have too much cheese, I stall, so everyone is different.

I refuse to give up my few drinks I have once a week!! I don't beat myself up if I don't lose, I just don't get on the scale for a week so I won't know

I did vodka and diet sprite with a spash of lime.

michellej24 · 08-05-2008, 02:21 PM

last time i did atkins, i drank the gin and diet coke and didn't lose weight while doing that so this time around i was thinking about trying the sleeman's, however it is expensive beer, lol. i just wonder if its better for me to have the extra 6 grams of carbs than to have the splenda or aspertame thats in the pop.

cathy77533 · 08-05-2008, 02:29 PM

What about the Micelobe ultras??

I never heard of sleemans...

What is it? lol

Mike, they don't have diet sprite at out bars!! Wish they did because that is what I drink..

Also try Gin and diet tonic water Michelle

SALUTAAAAA
