Alcohol Free beer?

[AndyL]

Just seen some in my local supermarket. Couldn't see any nutritional facts on the can and I was wondering if these are Ok to drink on this WOE? As there is no alcohol and no apparent suger (none listed in the ingredients) must be worth a go!

Andy - maybe you should research the brand. Is it common for beer there not to have nutritional information? I'm not a beer drinker, but if I recall correctly, even most beers here have that label.

I think that some things in beer (like yeast) can have carbos. Sorry to be a bummer. Maybe you could look it up on the internet? What brand is it?

I did a fast search and found this. Looks like, in general, not good for atkins:

Andy Andy Andy.. I don't think you are going to get the beer taste you want.. Did you survive your weekend with your friends? Doesn't all beer have yeast in it.. Yeast is what is in breads.. Not good for you...lol

I didn't go out in the end. It was cancelled. Was glad in a way- I didn't really want to drink during induction!

if it weren't for beer, atkins would be the easiest thing in the world for me to do. i love my guinness by the gallon.

Well from someone that doesn't drink at all I don't understand...lol But look at that 43lb loss..wouldn't you rather keep that then have a beer?

Re: Alcohol Free beer?

I concur with Sandy. Beer (all beer is bad for you).

Drink Whiskey!! haha. (only when you get to that particular rung)

Whiskey has no carbs....woo hoo!

Re: Alcohol Free beer?

I am up to the "little bit" of alcohol rung there, and 1-2 low carb beers every once in awhile hasn't set me back SO FAR. However, I rarely drink, and its not much each time. I'd imagine going all out drunk on even "low carb" beer wouldn't work so well. As for alcohol free beer, I have no clue, but unless you're at that rung, why bother a stall or gain?!

Sidenote though, since I've been on atkins, I've found that even a slight bit of booze hits me WAY harder than ever before. Long gone are the days of my fraternity doing tequila down in Mexico...now 2 beers has me almost falling down buzzed!

Re: Alcohol Free beer?

Sorry the party got cancelled...I was wondering about that barley pop you found. I've never heard of a barely pop (aka: beer) ever to be without alcohol...even those that promote "non alcoholic"; they still have some in it.
