Skinny brands lager

Although we have Tesco stores all over Bangkok have not seen it But My experience is that on the whole these sort of Beers taste like ****. I stopped Drinking because I don't think I am Strong willed enough to stop at ! or 2 beers so use the get behind me Satan approach It works for me.
 
Yes I tried it last week. Bought 8 bottles but only drank 1 of them and will probably pour others away. I thought it tasted awful... much prefer coors light but it’s higher carbs

Yeah I've stopped drinking too but I am conscious of being called boring at every social occasion. I have had enough comments about how the LCHF diet is no life to lead already!

Thank you for replying. I thought that may be the case. I was hoping to take some to Center Parcs. Will have to have a rethink.

In my case I was probably Boring before I stopped Drinking but did not realise it. Now I go home early before everyone else gets to the silly stage. As to diet I do not make a big fuss and no one seems to notice I can still eat Steak or fish and buttered Spinach and side salad no one thinks its strange

I don’t make a fuss but because I don’t fit the mould of a typical type 2 diabetic (I’m thin and in my 30s) and people see I’m avoiding certain foods, they think I’m on a fad diet and I’ve got an eating disorder or are obsessed with my weight. They then start offering foods I can’t eat I think to fatten me up. It’s done from a place of love. Another thing that doesn’t help is that I know other diabetics who eat what they want (that’s their choice, no judgement from me) and it looks like I’m making a big deal over nothing.
 
I drink dry wine, champagne and whisky as low carb treats. I have to watch the calories in wine and restrict to one large glass or I gain weight.
