"All the low-carb diet books on the market today generalize carbohydrate counts for alcohol," says Skilnik. "Anyone counting carbs will now be able to accurately measure their carbohydrate intake with a drink in their hand and a smile on their face. Just remember -- moderation, not deprivation!" 


Myth: Beer is lower in carbohydrates than vodka or tequila. 

Fact: 1 ounce of tequila has less than 1 carb, and vodkas have 0 carbs.


Myth: There are carbohydrates in rum since it's made from sugar.

Fact: Virtually all distilled products have 0 carbs.


Myth: Drinking alcohol on a low-carb diet is a no-no. 

Fact: 'The Low Carb Bartender...' provides carb-smart choices so you can enjoy a drink without stalling your weight loss. 


This unique paperback book is perfect for holiday bashes, family gatherings, Super Bowl parties, or the casual after-work cocktail. 'The Low Carb Bartender' helps you keep the weight off -- and have fun, too! Visit 'The Low Carb Bartender' website at http://www.lcbartender.com for more information.
