Guest guest Posted October 9, 2002 Report Share Posted October 9, 2002 Can you drink beer while on the CRON diet? I do enjoy drinking a good beer and try to keep it at a minimum. Is this bad? If not, how much is too much? Thanks in advance. Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 10, 2002 Report Share Posted October 10, 2002 Gee Neil, the more I CRON the more beer I drink....takes my mind off of my old roommates Ben and Jerry, who left in a huff, when I told them they could only come out of their rooms once a year! A Coors light (the only beer ~ right?) has about 99 calories per 12 oz and provides a dose of riboflavin, niacin, B6, folic acid, B12, Panot acid, Panto., magnesium, copper, manganese, selenium, water and of course the added benefit of not really caring much about any of these nutrients after three or four servings! When you get hungry and don't feel like eating Suz's latest Kale recipe, pop open that silver bullet and relax! You can trade about 2.5 cups of boiled kale in for on beer and get the same calories...which sounds better to you? :-)) (OK, since you don't know me, I am actually not a drinker and the beer calories are a little expensive in terms of nutrition per calorie, but hey you gotta enjoy those added 20 years of life IMHO) Dave Noel ----- Original Message ----- From: ngarrison_2000 Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2002 4:49 PM Subject: [ ] Beer Can you drink beer while on the CRON diet?

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2002 Report Share Posted October 10, 2002 Better to enjoy them with a glass of red wine. Luckily for you " drinkers " , mild to moderate alcohol intake is considered health promoting (Roy's own words on pg 222 of " Beyond " ) ESPECIALLY in the form of red wine. Unfortunately he goes on to say: " however alcohol does equate to empty calories .......so be moderate...... Stick generally to red wine..... So Neil at about 114 calories for an 8 oz glass, those glasses of beer really can add up........ on 10/9/2002 7:36 PM, Dave Noel at davenoel@... wrote: (OK, since you don't know > me, I am actually not a drinker and the beer calories are a little expensive > in terms of nutrition per calorie, but hey you gotta enjoy those added 20 > years of life IMHO) Dave Noel > ----- Original Message ----- > From: ngarrison_2000 > > Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2002 4:49 PM > Subject: [ ] Beer > > > Can you drink beer while on the CRON diet?
