What are the nutritional benefits and drawbacks of non alcoholic beer, if the person drinking it isn’t afraid of carbs? it’s a fermented product, so it must have gut benefits.
me and my girlfriend were talking and i said that if there was a beer on the market that was low in calories like a michelob ultra but had like 5 grams of protein that it would do great on...
With the rise in nonalcoholic beverages, I'm curious if there's any difference from someone switching to solely drinking NA beers (0.5% ABV or less), to someone who does not drink any alcoholic beverages at all. I'll see articles suggest that...
Hi! Today was day 3 I started IF 16-8, first 2 days went great however today I broke fast with 3 pints of beer . Will this hinder progress this week? I've decided to cut out alcohol from now, just wondering about...
I have an ice chest full of Heineken left over from Thanksgiving. This year I didn't overdo it with the desserts and I hope to keep that going through Christmas, into the new year to be prepped for the summertime.......
Doing a 10 day water fast, day 3 today, having a really hard time getting rid of the evening Heineken, so, does a small beer really makes a difference ?

I know drinking causes weight gain but I was wondering if some alcohol is better than others? What’s the “healthiest” way to drink? (although no heavy drinking is really healthy) It’d also be nice if it was cheap!
Foreign or domestic?

How much did cutting out alcohol help your progress? I regularly fast 18:6 or 20:4 - After losing 15lbs I plateaued and didn't fast consistently, however my caloric intake was still 1200-1500, and meals were always late in the day....
