What should i drink instead of beer to lose weight?

Question

SInce i am a sophmore in college, i drink alot. I am in love with beer but i really am trying to lose weight before my sisters wedding. Not drinking is merely just not an option haha. So what should i drink instead that tastes pretty good?

Answer 1

Liquor has less calories than beer, and you need less of it to get a buzz. As you need less of it, you ingest less calories, and should lose weight. Mix with sparkling water, or juice NOT made from concentrate. (Juice made from concentrate can cause weight gain. For the same reasons, don't mix with sodas, even diet sodas. On a side note, don't drink diet sodas, thinking you'll lose weight. Current studies have shown diet sodas actually cause longterm weight gain, because of the aspartame within them)

Make sure you eat before you drink, so you don't eat whatever is around later.

Good luck!

Sorry, but to lose weight, you will need to cut out all alcohol. Alcohol is just empty calories, not supplying your body with anything useful.

Start drinking water instead. Have one drink a night rather than 5, or whatever. You will see a difference just doing that. Also, if you drink coke or the like during the day, cut that out too. Same with coffee - have one a day rather than heaps. It all adds up.

Answer 4

I am guessing water with lemon is not the answer you are looking for ...Light beer? Beer has a lot of carbs, so if you don't plan on giving it up, don't plan on losing much weight. You could increase your exercise during this time, or just drink it less often...

Answer 5

beer or any form of alcohol is just not good for you...its ok to have a small glass of red wine a day, because it helps your red blood cell count and can prevent heart disease, but that does not mean go buy a 3 gallon jug, drop in a straw and throw in Resevoir Dogs and sit back.

If you are serious about losing weight, you need to cut back on any sweets and eating out, especially pizza. DEFINETLEY cut out alcohol or ease up on the consumption of it. Light beer is kinda of a bullshit theory...it only allows you to get fat slower...lol.

Eat a well balanced intake of food and excercise alternating days on aerobic and weight-training aspects.

Answer 6

Unfortunately, all booze makes you fat. Your body processes alcohol as sugar. There is no alcoholic drink that's low fat or whatever. If you're serious about weight loss, quit or limit your drinking.

Answer 7

when you go up to the bar ask them for "Bicardi and diet" if you are strapped for cash ask for a "rum and diet"

Only 60 calories in each drink. It does not taste the best but you will get used to it. I've drank a ton of crappy beers in the past as well and survived...

Answer 8

I would drink alcohol to relax and unwind in the evenings. Now I drink hot tea. It soothes me and relaxes me. No calories. I think its just about creating a habit to substitute and not eliminate.
I still drink alcohol on fridays and/or saturdays.

Answer 9

Drink tons of water. If you don't want to cut back on beer, then drink tons of water in addition to beer. And stock up on toilet paper.

Answer 10

I suggest you only consume about 200-400 calories a day and exercise about 6 hours each day. Your diet should consist of cabbages and gerbil meat.
