The fact is that, when you cut carbs, you are also cutting calories, which is the real reason "low-carb" beers are better for your waistline. However, remember that any type of alcohol stimulates cortisol, which can make you gain weight. Therefore, you shouldn't count on low-carb beers as part of your diet plan. Your best bet would be to eliminate alcohol completely if you're trying to lose weight, but if this is not an option for you, low-carb beers are, in essence, a better choice than regular ones.
