Some people prefer a six-pack of beer every day. But as beer accumulates, so does your belly fat. This phenomenon is so widely known that it even has a name – beer belly or beer casing, medically known as belly overweight. It is true that beer has its fair share of calories, but it is not the only thing that is making their stomach strong and rounded. So if you are looking to lose weight without giving up beer, here are other ways you can remove weight from your stomach.
Choose a light beer
An easy way to prevent beer belly, or get rid of it, is to switch to light beers. A typical beer has between 4.1% to 5% alcohol and alcohol is caloric, so you should stay below the 4% level. There are also non-alcoholic beers for you who just enjoy the taste.
Everything in moderation
The secret to living a healthy life is to do everything in moderation. A simple trick to drinking less is to alternate regularly between a glass of water, or a low-calorie soft drink, and a pint of beer. If you are used to drinking a few beers every day, you should not exceed the daily limit of 350 ml, which is a little more than half a pint.
Avoid high-calorie foods and meals
There is nothing better than eating a juicy, fatty burger after drinking a beer. This is because alcohol stimulates the appetite and we have been conditioned to choose the fattest foods to combine. In fact, research shows that the main culprits of beer intestines are the fatty meals you eat while drinking beer. To satisfy your appetite and tastes, try enjoying healthier alternatives like:
Pizza with a thin whole wheat crust and thin layers
Unsalted pistachios and peanuts
