    I did enjoy a few Michelob cactus lime Friday night! I know I know some of you don't believe that's real beer! Haha it satisfied my craving and I won't be wanting any anytime real soon!

    Have a few beers and enjoy yourself. Just don't drink like that everyday as I hear alcohol slows down fat burning by up to 70% and this effect lasts for an extended period of time. I've lost weight much quicker and more from my middle too since I gave up drinking a bottle of wine every night.

    If you like beer and would drink it happily - HAVE IT! This is a lifestyle switch, not a restriction. Sure, don't go bonkers and drink ALL THE BEER (well, you could do but I wouldn't like your hangover!) and DO make sure you log it - even if it's to show you where to cut down for next time, or how to space it out better. I am a firm believer that if you restrict something to the point of craving it, you will end up binging on it.

    Personally, I've not touched alcohol in two months, I think I drank enough in the previous 10 years to last me a lifetime ;) But I'm not teetotal - I just genuinely don't crave it :)

    have a beer! And not a gross light beer, or a Coors or Bud or Miller.

    Have a real honest delicious cold beer.

    YES, this! All things in moderation. Be fit, be disciplined, but don't deny yourself the simple pleasures (when they can fit into your calorie count).

    Cheers!

    Yeah reward yourself, but everything in moderation. If you dont have one and the craving continues you will end up having a big blow out and take on too many calories. So in m opinion have a few beers, just dont go crazy.

    Completely Agree! Go ahead and have that beer and keep it under your weekly calorie goal!

    I like to keep my liver guessing.

    I DO limit how much I drink now, just because I am trying to not rely on it to relax, I run instead.

    BUT,

    When I initially lost my first 60 pounds in three months I did so while drinking.. VERY socially on the weekends. I'm talking.. drinking, wet tshirt contests.. the whole 9.


    As long as your calories allow it, and you have no moral objection to it.. DRINK that BEER!

    I have 7 or 8 beers every week. I just plan my Refeed day around going out with a date or friends that way I can eat and have a few beers and not feel bad about it.
