Unfortunately, yes Beer is basically liquid starch.Does beer have starch??
No wonder I haven't been losing my Christmas pounds in spite of avoiding starch. I've been drinking 4-8 beers every week. Time to switch to cider.Unfortunately, yes Beer is basically liquid starch.

i think the estrogenicity of the hops is more likely to lead to weight gain than the sugarsThere is no starch in beer, sugars - yes.
In beer starch is fermented and broken down into simple sugars.
Tha't why it is easy to gain weight on beer

Yeah, there is a good amount of carbs in beer , simple sugars, but It doesn't contain starchThe majority of calories in beer are from the alcohol (alcohol is 7 calories per gram).
I would imagine if there is weight gain from beer it is from the metabolic effects of the alcohol or the potential estrogenic effects from the plant (hops, if present) or yeast. Or just drinking too much.
There is like 40 calories worth of carbohydrate in a can of beer.

do you mean the lack of water retention is seen in low carb diets?That sounds reasonable. If I remember correctly, this effect (water retention) is also seen in low carb diets. That would explain why I had the same effects with a no-starch diet than during my brief low carb phase.
I also have less/no acne when I cut out starches completely. That might support your inflammation theory.
Glycemia, starch, and sugar in context

"Starch and glucose efficiently stimulate insulin secretion, and that accelerates the disposition of glucose, activating its conversion to glycogen and fat, as well as its oxidation. Fructose inhibits the stimulation of insulin by glucose, so this means that eating ordinary sugar, sucrose (a disaccharide, consisting of glucose and fructose), in place of starch, will reduce the tendency to store fat. Eating “complex carbohydrates,” rather than sugars, is a reasonable way to promote obesity. Eating starch, by increasing insulin and lowering the blood sugar, stimulates the appetite, causing a person to eat more, so the effect on fat production becomes much larger than when equal amounts of sugar and starch are eaten. The obesity itself then becomes an additional physiological factor; the fat cells create something analogous to an inflammatory state. There isn't anything wrong with a high carbohydrate diet, and even a high starch diet isn't necessarily incompatible with good health, but when better foods are available they should be used instead of starches. For example, fruits have many advantages over grains, besides the difference between sugar and starch. Bread and pasta consumption are strongly associated with the occurrence of diabetes, fruit consumption has a strong inverse association."
