How Can I lose my beer belly?

Do you lift weights?

Cardio

If you want to loose the beer belly - loose the beer!

I think the gentleman is referring to losing weight in those areas, specifically. Not just general tips.

OP, in my experience, your belly fat is the absolute last thing to do. Just keep on with good habits. Eat at a caloric deficit. Exercise often. Lift weights and focus on exercises that hit your legs / core (squats, lunges, deadlifts). If you work bigger muscle groups, like your legs, you get bigger and continued benefits.

Just make sure the only thing you are doing is cardio. Mix it up, keep your body guessing what's coming next, get lots of variety and eat cleanly.

You can do this AND continue to drink beer. You just might have to drink the light stuff or abstain for a few months, while you get the fat levels under control. Craft beer and buffalo wings are the bane of my existence, so believe me, I understand.

I'd rather bring a keg to the party than a six pack ;-)


Now seriously, I'm involved with Greek life via college for over 20 years and I hear the beer belly problem. I do cardio and sit ups, but I also cut back my "whole" beer intake and go now with light beer or lighter colored beer. I steer clear now of the Guinness (except for St. Patricks day lol) and drink more Sam, Molson, LaBatt Blue LIght ( <-- my go to light beer, sooo good!!). I also cut back on the sweet drinks and now prefer a mixed drink with diet (gross) soda or just shoot some premium spirits.

Its hard to do especially when your nickname is "Beer Wench" so drinking light beer goes against that a bit but it's all moderation too. If I know I'm gonna go out and go hard on the beer I take it easier on the food calories during the day. (Salad, lean meat, no crabs... ).

Also, watch what you eat after a heavy drinking session... that's where I gained weight. Nothing taste better after a night of drinking then a sub or onion rings or pizza.... Once I started taking in easy on that stuff too I noticed a reduction in belly fat.

Good Luck!!

college is only four years long. what's taking you so long?

Amazing - if OP had described the fat around his middle as a "yogurt belly" would you advise him to give up yogurt?

Clearly yes. lol

Do you realize Guinness has less calories than the other beers you mentioned?

Dadgummit! Firstsip beat me to it.

But, yes, Guiness is like a dieter's dream beer. It actually tastes like something and is pretty comparable to a coors light, in terms of calories.

First sip, where do you stand on Guiness? Will you drink that, or is it not crafty enough for you (I know you're pretty into the beer groups on MFP)?

A "beer" belly is not just for beer drinkers. I have been a teetotaller my whole life but I have a belly from compulsive overeating. I inherited my body type from my mother. Only when I got to really fighting trim did it go away completely. I look at photos of myself from those days and can only marvel. Lots of weight training behind that transformation, plus step aerobics and low-fat diet. (this was back when low-fat diets were the rage).

GIve up food. Keep drinking beer.
