Hello Interloper!

Low carb pasta alternatives can include:
You can also substitute rice for pasta in some instances. Opt for brown or purple rice instead of white rice, as they have more fiber and are less processed (see above).
You can enjoy alcohol in moderation on a low carb diet.
In fact, dry wine has very few carbs, and hard liquors like rum have none.
But beer is fairly high in carbs!
On average, a 12-ounce (360-mL) can of beer packs 13 grams of carbs, while a light beer contains 6 grams.
Research also suggests that liquids aren’t as filling as solid foods — so you may consume more calories from them more easily!
Beer is also lacking in important nutrients found in other high-carb foods, such as protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals!
If you’re drinking hard liquors, mixers can be a source of sugar and carbs!
This can make the carbs add up quickly.
Remember! Dry wine and spirits are better alcohol options on a low-carb diet than beer and sweet wine!
