Agree with this, though not impossible diet needs to be pretty strict and cardio heavy on drinking days. I Carb cycle so I just make my carb up days my beer days.

Oh man, I would probably never stop running!
I have actually started to just cut calories in other areas. Seems to be working. One thing I have noticed is that when I am drinking beer consistently my body retains much, much more fluid. I can easily sweat out 3-4 pounds of water weight during a workout.
One of the worst things that i have ever done for my figure, is put multiple beers on tap at my place......they just keep calling me...pour me...drink me....repeat!!  |

Didn't read all 10 pages so pardon if already mentioned but IMO, the 'healthy' carbohydrates is where you need to cut the calories. Eat the same meat/veggies/fruits you do now but 'drink' your carbs. And if you do eat carbs, eat them in the morning. Dinner should have zero bread/rice/potato/pasta/etc.
But I'm one that believes that carbs are not nearly as healthy as many believe. Carbs are an efficient way to feed large masses of people, not make them healthy. 'Healthy carbs' is almost an oxymoron imo.
We are led to believe that humans keep getting taller and taller as we 'evolve' but there is skeletal evidence that indicates that the original hunter/gatherers were just as tall as we are today. It wasn't until agriculture led to consumption of massive amounts of carbs that human's (esp children) growth was stunted and the average height plummeted.
When I used to work out a lot all the 'trainers' told me to load up on carbs. They all deserve a kitn imo.

I'd try this too but I need more than a 2 minute workout. ;-)
Cheers!

Erm, all sugars are carbohydrates and, thus, eating fruits means eating carbs.
But perhaps you just mean things like bread that are very, very high in carbohydrates of all types. If so, sorry, I don't mean to be pedantic. |

About 8 months ago I started a job working in a factory. I am a 5'10" and was 190 pounds. Around the same time I got in to homebrewing. Since then I have dropped down to 155-160. It must be the beer and not the arduous job (HA). However, in regards to health, realize that there are more books out there on diet than there are minutes in your life to read them. Not to say you shouldn't pay any attention to your health. But if you want a decent and thought provoking book on diet check out "The China Study" by T. Colin Campbell. It makes... sense.

No, you're right, I should have specified 'complex carbs'. I've always used the word 'carbs' for complex carbs and 'sugars' for simple ones and it carried into my post. Thanks for clarifying.
Complex carbs were not nearly as easy for me to cut way back on than sugars, I just don't have a sweet tooth and have never eaten much fruit or sweets. But I love rice/potatoes/pasta/etc so with me it was always about the starches.

I race bicycles so that helps me offset my beer a night routine. I typically burn about 1000 calories a day, so 1 beer doesnt hurt.
