Naw, you can eat all the carbs you want and not gain weight, if you just stay away from animal products. Carbs are fuel for your metabolism.
Beer, I don't know what it would do if you threw that into the mix; I drink infrequently.
Sleep and water are both excellent for weight control and general health, I'm sure... except that I don't sleep much at all, and I hate water, it literally makes me nauseous. I have to force myself to drink it and can't manage it on any sort of regular basis. I like diet Dr pepper, frozen fruit and juice smoothies, and sometimes iced tea with lots of lemon and Nutrasweet in it (that's about as close as I get to drinking water).
But yes, I have heard that water cleans the toxins out of your system, facilitating weight loss... and that when you don't sleep enough, you are more likely to eat impulsively just to maintain your energy level throughout the day.
