    SO, my diet has been going EXCELLENT!!! I have not had a beer in a couple of weeks, but the warm weather has me really wanting a patio drink!!! Soooooooooo, should I have a couple or curb that craving?!?! Will it kill my diet??? My plan says to LIMIT or AVOID alcohol and I have completely avoided it for two weeks! So, help me out here! Tell me what to do!

      I feel exactly the same as you!! With the warm weather, we invited friends over for a drink. I made sure I worked out in the morning and had 1 lite beer that night. After having that 1 beer, I kind of felt bloated and icky the next day. I would just limit the amount of drinking to 1 or 2. An amount that would fit into your daily calories or just make yourself a non-alcoholic blended drink like a smoothie with lots of fruit (Yum!).

      You could try Miller 64 (64 calories).

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

      Have a real honest delicious cold beer.

      I have a beer or two when the mood strikes, especially with the nice weather...it won't kill your beer since you get what it does

      I like to kickstart my liver.

      Just like kickstarting my metabolism by eating breakfast.

      And then cleansing it all with a weekly voluntary enema... Or something.

      Now is the time to learn about good beer vs bad beer. One beer is not going to kill you, so if you can only have 1 beer that day, what would it be. I'll buy Stella Artois. or some good Saint Arnold's beer.

      Guinness provides some great vitamins & minerals, fwiw.

      I do Happy Hour every Friday with my friends and family. I'm sure i could lose faster without it but it's our fun time together. Frankly I can't imagine a life without beer in it. I just make sure my weekly calories balance out and try not to focus so much on day to day.

      Bottom line......DRINK THE BEER!!!

      The answer is always beer.

      The better answer is always 2 or more beers.

      ewww no, gross.

      A bad beer is better than no beer at all.

      If you are going to drink a real beer, go for a good micro.

      1) You shouldn't be on a diet. Diets don't work.

      2) Your liver has a job to do. Process alcohol. NO FREE RIDES! GET TO WORK!! EARN YOUR KEEP!!!
