The Drunk Diet

How I Lost 40 Pounds...Wasted: A Memoir

De: Lüc Carl

Narrado por: Peter Berkrot

With his trademark rock 'n' roll hair and snakeskin spandex pants, plus a hot rod and a Harley, Lüc Carl fit the part as a bar manager based in New York City's gritty Lower East Side. And life was good for this Omaha, Nebraska, transplant - a talented drummer who originally moved to the big city to pursue his rock 'n' roll dreams-until, suddenly, it wasn't. Fast forward through seven years of working long hours, binging on late-night Chinese food, and drinking excessively; life had found Lüc 40 pounds overweight and completely out of shape. But when he turned to the "experts" for advice-reading countless fitness and weight-loss books in the process - he discovered that they all made the same claim: "You can't drink alcohol if you want to lose weight." Lüc decided to take matters into his own hands to transform his body and his life his way.

Full of charismatic wit and raucous stories about his life, The Drunk Diet will inspire and challenge you to become fitter, healthier, and happier. Lüc's fitness philosophy isn't about following a list of rigid rules or traditional "do this, not that" charts, but gaining a better understanding of how the body works and discovering what you're personally willing to change about your lifestyle in order to reach your goals. For him, that meant trading in the crap he was eating for unprocessed, natural foods and embracing a new-found love for exercise, but never sacrificing his social life (or his love for cold beer). This is the story of how one chain-smoking, cheeseburger-eating, hard-partying rock 'n' roller grew into an avid runner and cyclist and, ultimately, a happier version of himself. He will be the first to tell you: If he could do it, so can you.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"This long-haired, leather-loving nontraditional-diet guru proves that by swapping midnight burger binges and processed junk for exercise and natural foods, you too can get back into your spandex tippling as you go." ( Vanity Fair)

Great book!

Really enjoyed this. Made me laugh, made me think. Very well done look into how the author went from an out of shape party animal into an in great shape fitness nut party animal. Highly entertaining especially if youve ever listened to him on the radio.

Real!!

Loved this book! Listened to it twice. Luc is No BS and I love it! This really is the book for everyone looking to make lifestyle changes because this isn't a diet book, this is a lifestyle change to be healthy book while still being the Rockstars we are.
Luc:s delivery of this message is hilarious IMO! I laughed so hard I cried during the squirrel story.... sorry my kind of humor.
Sharing this book with everyone I know.

Who knew that dieting could be this easy???

I am a chick. I read all sorts of diet books, what female doesn't? This book is absolutely hilarious!! I love the self talk of Luc Carl and how he tackles his weight issue while partying his butt off. It was funny, somewhat motivating, and downright unique in his approach to weight issues while having a drink in his hand. I didn't realize that he was Lady Gaga's ex. It doesn't even play into the book in any way. It was entertaining for sure!
