The Low Carb Grocery Newsletter
Volume 8
|
| |
In this edition, we thought we'd talk about something
a little more fun. Beer and Alcohol. We recently came
across some interesting information on about.com
and would like to share this with you.
We also want to announce a new simpler way to
shop - for those living in the Greater Toronto Area
(GTA), you can now order online and specify
SELF PICK-UP. Read more on this
below.

Beer and Low Carb Living |
|

Some common questions we hear about alcohol:
- Are the carbs in beer just like any other
carbohydrate?
- Does the maltose in beer make it more glycemic?
- Are carbs in beer worse than other carbs?
Well, here are some interesting facts about alcohol:
The calories from alcohol are used first for energy,
before carbs or fat. Also, alcohol can have some
unpredictable effects on blood sugar because of the
way the liver kicks in to process the alcohol. And,
although maltose has a higher glycemic index than
glucose, the fermentation process uses up all the
maltose in beer while its being brewed - so there is
actually no maltose in beer. For those cheating by
drinking light beer, light beer isnt necessarily lower in
carbs than regular beer. And stout? Stout is the
worst kind of beer you can drink on a low carb diet
(at around 20g per serving).

Shop Faster: *NEW* Self-Pickup Option |
|
|
|
|
We understand that parking around our store can be
difficult, especially during rush hour (although we do
have some parking at the back). For those living in
the GTA area that do not have much time to browse
and shop in-store, we recently updated our site so
that you can now order online and specify a (free)
self-pickup option.
Simply select your items as you normally would when
ordering online. As you check out, you will have a
delivery option for self-pickup. Your
order will be processed (we accept visa, mastercard,
and paypal for online orders) and ready for pickup
within 4 business hours - call ahead if you need even
faster. So now you can order from work and dash in
to pick it up on your way home!
We're continuously working hard to improve your
shopping experience with us!
