beer and paleo

[barefoot kean]

Hey,
Im wondering how detrimental regular grain based beer and other grain alcohols are to the benefits of the paleo lifestyle? As far as specifics lets assume that some sort of grain based alcoholic beverage enters my system at least once a week.

Paleo is an interesting topic for athletes - you gotta get carbs, and often fast carbs. I went full paleo for a while and was struggling hard until I came across a book called The Paleo Diet for Athletes. In short, beer after you run would be A-OK .

I don't care if you're right or wrong, but I like what you're sayin! I like me an adult beverage in the evening or after exercise, and it's been a concern of mine as I consider going a bit to the paleo world. Yay.

Over at Marks Daily Apple he says in general use the 80% 20%, so majority paleo but its ok to cheat every now and then. So perhaps an occasional beer would be a good cheat item.

I was full paleo but have been less strict lately. Will get strict again soon though but beer isn't bad. It's fermented and therefore doesn't contain any anti nutrients.

Thanks Josh, thats some info ive been hoping to hear/have confirmed

Yah, the 80/20 paleo ratio is the way to go for me. Otherwise it's a religion.

Going to do some weights for hour and then alternate sipping Moosehead with Red Hook IPA the whole afternoon while doing chump work around the house and yard . . .
