Beer and alcohol has quite a lot of sugar.
- jeremysmyth 12y agoAlcohol doesn't contain sugar. Rather, it replaces glucose in the blood and can be used directly as a fuel without any conversion. This is unlike in low-carb diets, where fat must be converted to a fuel (via gluconeogenesis) before cells can use it as energy, and this conversion itself takes energy. Effectively, alcohol reduces the benefit of low-carb diets but doesn't necessarily increase the insulin response as would a high-sugar diet.
- toomuchtodo 12y agoMy typing mistake. Those items I listed were what I don't eat. Beer has quite a bit of sugar, but hard alcohols do not. http://www.thespartanwarrior.com/post/6355061720/lowcarbvsalcohol http://www.thespartanwarrior.com/post/6355061720/lowcarbvsal...
