Doing a 10 day water fast, day 3 today, having a really hard time getting rid of the evening Heineken, so, does a small beer really makes a difference ?

Foreign or domestic?
I have an ice chest full of Heineken left over from Thanksgiving. This year I didn't overdo it with the desserts and I hope to keep that going through Christmas, into the new year to be prepped for the summertime.......
What are the nutritional benefits and drawbacks of non alcoholic beer, if the person drinking it isn’t afraid of carbs? it’s a fermented product, so it must have gut benefits.
me and my girlfriend were talking and i said that if there was a beer on the market that was low in calories like a michelob ultra but had like 5 grams of protein that it would do great on...
Hi! Today was day 3 I started IF 16-8, first 2 days went great however today I broke fast with 3 pints of beer . Will this hinder progress this week? I've decided to cut out alcohol from now, just wondering about...
I understand calories are from carbs, fats, and proteins. But I’m starting to see alcohol saying “0 carbs, 0 fat, 0 protein” but they will have calories. I always assumed alcohol calories are a subset of carbs. Can anyone clarify...

How much did cutting out alcohol help your progress? I regularly fast 18:6 or 20:4 - After losing 15lbs I plateaued and didn't fast consistently, however my caloric intake was still 1200-1500, and meals were always late in the day....

Any wine lovers or vodka soda or ipa lovers out there fasting? If so, how do you make it work?
With the rise in nonalcoholic beverages, I'm curious if there's any difference from someone switching to solely drinking NA beers (0.5% ABV or less), to someone who does not drink any alcoholic beverages at all. I'll see articles suggest that...
I'm 16/8 right now, about to move to 22/2. Basically OMAD but I tend to snack while I'm cooking and then we drink at night while winding down, and I sometimes have some dairy before bed. Once...
Okay so I’m assuming it’s a given that hard liquor (~40% ABV) would have a net negative effect on one’s hydration. But surely an alcoholic beverage with like, 3.5% ABV would still have a net positive effect on hydration, right?...

Would like your opinion on what would be the most effective diet practices and habits to implement in someone's life? Something like eating more veggies, some low-hanging fruits that most people have about their diet that would make a huge difference...
My goal was 7 days. But I haven’t done a 7 day fast in a long time. Like 2 years. I usually do OMAD no problem. Which I only did 3 days prior so probably not the best prep. I...
Me and my friend are arguing the question as to whether coffee or Miyo enhanced water is still considered water? Does your body still process it the same as water or does the concentration change its perception of how it’s...
