    Review of The Drink Beer, Get Thin Diet: A Low Carbohydrate Approach (Paperback)

    The concept of the book is a simple one---research the carbohydrate counts of more than 350 regular brewed beers and wrap a low carbohydrate diet around it with recipes and tips for keeping the pounds off. For my part, it's working! I've lost 14 pounds in the last 20 days and can really notice it and so can my wife.
    Don't bother looking for the carb counts of regular beers on cans or bottles. The author points out that the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms doesn't allow it though a nutritional analysis is mandatory on all "light" beers. Skilnik claims it took 2 years of telephone calls, e-mailing and faxing to put this book together, probably helped by the fact that he's a certified brewer with a degree in Brewing Technology from the Siebel Institute of Technology, the oldest school for brewers in the U.S.
    There's lot of micro and regional beers here and imports too plus the typical American stuff. You can also go to the book's website for updates and additions to the carbohydrate counts of even more beers as they become available.
