I am new to this and am curious about white wine? the carb listing is under 1 gram per glass, but is it really ok to have a glass with dinner in the evening? same question for other drinks as well -- i hear vodka is the best thing to drink if im out at a bar or at a party..please help!!

You've found a great place for support and information. We recently had a discussion on alcohol that should answer all your questions.

thanks very much - this is very very helpful.another beverage question-- what about coffee in the morning - ive read threads on this sight that say yey and ney - whats the real skinny?

I love my coffee in the morning, but after having read a lot about caffeine possibly raising insulin levels and initiating cravings, I decided to switch to decaf. I did it gradually though to minimize caffeine withdrawal....mixing decaf with regular coffee in the pot, gradually decreasing the regular coffee until I was drinking just decaf. Isn't quite the same, but I feel a lot better without caffeine in my system.
