Beer Diet Author Appearing on ESPN2's "Cold Pizza" & FOX NEWS Television Programs

"The Drink Beer, Get Thin Diet," Heads To New York

CHICAGO, IL (PRWEB) February 19, 2004--1st Books announces that Bob Skilnik, author of The Drink Beer, Get Thin Diet: A Low Carbohydrate Approach (ISBN: 1410733858), will be taking his beery approach to weight loss to ESPN2's Cold Pizza and FOX NEWS television morning shows. The programs will air March 2, 2004.

Skilnik's guide to low carbohydrate living is unique in its observance of a weight reduction program that includes the moderate consumption of both light and regular brewed beers. "Until this book, beer drinkers watching their carb intake were limited to light beers," says author and beer expert Bob Skilnik. "This book is all about choice." The Drink Beer, Get Thin Diet features more than 350 beers and their carbohydrate counts from over 50 worldwide breweries, making this book a sound guide for both social drinkers and bar regulars to refer to when indecision hits in the liquor aisle.
