Yates Wine Lodge - Atkins
 

I was in town today and I noticed a big sign outside Yates Wine Lodge saying "ATKINS MENU NOW AVAILABLE" it also said that they had lor carb beer.

Not sure if this is a national thing but thought that people on Atkins might find this info useful.

Hey..i'm not into Atkins but i've just started buying the low carb beer..cos i drink quite a bit :s: :lol:

I never drink beer. I occasionally will drink half a lager and lime but only about once a year. I much prefer alcohol that tastes like pop - lol.

They make diet bacardi breezers now but I have yet to see them in the shops.

Well, what they call beer here is really lager :lol: i don't like bitter unless its in a shandy but i will drink lager and my daughter got me into those WK?(wicked iron brews) a couple of years ago and i like them but you can't get them here. Its good that you don't drink beer because its full of empty calories :( but its my only vice (if you don't count chocolate) so i can't complain.

WKD, I like them. We were drinking cheeky Vimto the other week which is lethal - lol. It is a measure of port with a blue WKD (I think that is raspberry). It tastes just like fizzy vimto, it is about £4.50 a glass and gets you really drunk - lol.

I don't like the blue WKD :p it did'nt taste like raspberry to me i thought it was bubblegum or something :lol: fizzy vimto sounds good but the ingredients don't :lol:

I have to admit that I thought it would be disgusting when I heard what was in it but it was ok

I don't like the blue wicked but may have to try one of those cheeky vimtos, sopund like fun apart from the £4.50 part that is.

I like a cold beer if it is a hot day but I prefer cider.

much cheaper if you make them at home - lol.

Am hopefully going away in a caravan with 2 friends at easter, can see these being tried out and tested then

I've had diet bacardi breezers from morrisons they were too sweet tasting. :p

i read an article about alcohol and dieting saying that when alcohol mixes with stomarch acid it forms a substance that is instantly the fuel for the body so the metabolism switches souly to that for abot 12hours which means your can't burn fat interesting fact i thought i was a big guinness drinker yea big as in consuming and weight lol

I've heard that alcohol slows down your metabolism but i never knew why (she says while knocking back a low carb beer :lol: ) but i'm not prepared to give it up and anyway i've lost weight before while still drinking ;)

thanks for the info on the diet Bacardi Breezers - might give them a miss then - lol. I am not a big drinker anyway so will not be missing much - lol.
