Holiday Parties??
16
Wed, 12-10-2003 - 9:21am
With the holidays around the corner, I was wondering which is a better choice for a beverage (alcoholic). The low carb beer or wine? Not planning to go way off balance but would like to know what would be the best choice in these circumstances.

Thanks for the info!

Thanks Michelle - I agree. I rather not drink something that I make a face every sip. Like to at least enjoy it! Margarita's are my choice of drink too.

The Zinfandels I think are way too sweet for this diet. I didn't know that the whites are that bad until I read the book. I'm a red wine, merlot/cab or Pinot Grigio drinker but I guess I'll have to stay away from the Pinot also.

The holiday party on this end is tonight. Cab and grilled snapper, stay away from the sweets and oeuvres unless they're peanuts hehe.

Good luck with the parties Jenn!

PS: this is the hardest time to go on this diet. We’re getting in all the great gift baskets filled with wonderful cookies and expensive chocolates!!

"this is the hardest time to go on this diet..."


I'm trying to look at it from the opposite perspective.

Thanks Lily! I think I will go with a merlot then. I like it also. The eating I'm not too worried about...yet! I'm on my forth day and it's going really good. I'll just have to pick and scrap off stuff. I wonder if pepperoni is on the list?

Have a safe and happy holidays!
