Hi Everyone,

Day 14 of my second time on atkins, 14lb gone. This time round I've cut
alcohol totally, but I will probably do a barbecue at the bank holiday in a
couple of weeks, anyone recommend a decent lowish Carb lager I can have a
couple of pints of without blowing Ketosis ?

I'm not too keen on Micholob Ultra.........

A couple of pints? Unless you're willing to keep it down to a pint or
less, or are willing to exercise a bit either immediately before or
afterward to burn through the carbs, you'd likely be better off sticking
to hard liquor.

Marston's Resolution? - although that's more of an ale than a lager. Nice
chilled, though - I keep some in the fridge for shandy moments : )

Otherwise you're better off with a brandy and diet coke, or similar.

And if it rains, it's your fault - fancy planning that far ahead for a BBQ!

Beg your UK pardon, but if you are in the UK, with a list given to you,
would you not be the person that is most able to research that?

I do not know your predicament or lifestyle or limitations, but it sounds
like you would also like it delivered?

Perdu,

I've spent the weekend checking labels in supermarkets, and researching on
the Net ! In the Uk they don't put carb content on the label, and of that
very comprehensive list I can only find Micholob Ultra and Coors Lite, the
reason I asked others for a UK slant is maybe someone else here has already
found that holy grail of a UK available tasty low carb beer. I've tried
Ultra, I'll give the Coors a try.

Oh, and if possible, delivery too..... ;-)
