low carb is bullshit, high carb, low GI, low protein and low fat...there is a reason the Japanese have one of the lowest instances of obesity, heart disease, cancer and diabetes in the world. Low carb is a short term solution and an expensive one at that. But people love it for fast results. I've not met anyone that has kept the weight off after low carb diets...just my 2c
Low carb beers simply continue to play on the bullshit spun by others and believed my most. Low carb beers don't exploit the drinkers, rather the brewery's have discovered a market that has emerged int he last few years.
Low carb beers suck but they have their place...many of my family drink them because they don't suffer 'bloating' and strangely enough they don't get it either when they have my beer. They will always choose mine over the low card but they drink low carb when they need to. If they like it they like it, but they are also aware that they are not a healthy option (now at least)
