About the Book
Full of charismatic wit and insane stories about his life, Luc's book is a mix of memoir and advice: laugh and be inspired while he takes you along on his hilarious journey to become healthier and fitter, and live vicariously through a guy who likes to have a good time, ALL the time (even if that now means running 8 miles a day). Along the way, you'll find out much more about Luc than just how he lost all that weight: you will read about his charming Midwest roots in Nebraska, where his love of music was discovered at the age of nine in his dad's truck; his high school days where he honed his skills as a kick-ass drummer in the school band; and his move to NYC to pursue his rock star dreams, sleeping on friends' couches and working all night at the local taco truck. Peppered throughout will be hilarious sidebars, such as his "What the F*ck" sections that will define terms such as electrolytes and omega-3 fatty acids, and Luc's Laws ("If you've made the decision to drink beer, drink a f*cking beer. Light beer is for pussies.").

If you need motivation to ride, run, or just eat better, you'll find Carl to be an inspirational cheerleader for the healthy rock-and-roll life. "Bicycling Magazine"
What happens when a rock 'n' roll bartender finds that too many nights of boozing and eating pizza pile on the pounds? "The Drunk Diet" -- which, despite its title, means learning to love running, and drinking in moderation. "USA Today"
Tipping the profanity scale by dropping the F-bomb 288 times, 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"
His enthusiasm is infectious, and you are basically hearing him talk through the page. That's a rarity for any writer to achieve. "The Examiner.com"
His book chronicles his journey to thin and proves that boozing and losing needn't always be mutually exclusive. You might not party like Luc, but you can still learn from him about keeping your belly flat when your tumbler's full. "MensHealth.com"
Carl is refreshingly up-front...ample amounts of sensible advice, whether you're lookin to get ripped or just drop a few pounds. "Penthouse Magazine"
I could open the book to any page and be amused at the way he tells his story, but his method is reliable and his information true. "The Dallas Morning News"
Rock 'N Roll Jesus "The Dudley and Bob Morning Show, 93.7 KLBJ The Rock of Austin, TX"
"The Drunk Diet "couldn't have come at a better time in my life. After 20 years working as a chef, eating all day, drinking all night and then eating AGAIN at 5 am, something had to change. But I didn't even know how to "begin" changing decades long bad habits; Luc Carl demonstrates that YOU truly are the key to your own health and happiness--not expensive gym memberships or unrealistic diet plans developed by "experts." This is as straight forward as it gets, with real advice that WILL change your life. "Chris Santos, Celebrity Chef (Stanton Social, Beauty & Essex, and the Food Network's Chopped)"
Rock n Roll + long hair + whiskey + beer - cigarettes - 5 A.M. cheesesteaks + balls + running + cycling + broccoli - 40 pounds = "The Drunk Diet." "Brian Newman, jazz trumpeter and singer""
