    You can drink any beer you want. One at a time. But you have to walk to the store for each one, and take the long route home. Then record the calories and enjoy the beer.

    This makes me think about my bicycle. I have a mount for a insulated stainless beer growler and will sometimes ride up to the tap room to get it filled. They are so slow that I may drink a couple of pints while I wait.

    Rather than having several beers a night, just have one and make it last. Or two short beers. Don't drink bad beer just because it's "light".

    There is no such thing as a beer to help lose weight anymore than there is a steak that helps. Its all calories in and calories out. Too much beer is just like eating too much sugar, not healthy, in fact alcohol will be turned into a sugar for the body to use so you're just overloading on more sugar. No more than a glass of wine or 2 beers per day for good health.

    Whatever fits into your calories and you enjoy is what I suggest. I personally like stout beers and that's what I drink. I won't drink Michelob ultra or the other crap "beer" that's out there that's low cal. it's water and it's disgusting. I just make the stout fit my calories...or walk or run it off.

    Scotch has no carbs and as my Father in-law used to say "they put water in when they make it"

    I stay away from beer while trying to lose weight. Lite beers are gross and IPAs have a bajillion calories.

    Dude I wish this was a thing. Just fit your favourite into your calories. I tried the Michelob Ultra once and it tasted like sadness and ennui.

    To paraphrase Ed Stoudt of Stoudt's brewery (Black Angus)... If I'm going to drink a light beer, I'll drink half a beer and half a glass of water. Tastes better and the same amount of calories.

    It depends on your approach I guess. When I first started counting calories I swithced to Michelob Ultra, because it's so low calorie and I find it to be a nice refreshing beverage on a hot day. The issue is, I can drink it like water because it is SO light. Plus, the carbonation can cause some serious bloat issues (I don't drink soda or really anything else carbonated). Now I've realized I'm better off drinking those delicious craft beers I like (stouts, reds, or brown ales mostly), and sticking to only 1-2. Not so hard to do because I tend to drink heavier beers slowly, and the alcohol content is so much higher I'm not going to put away 4-5 without realizing.

    I usually tend to drink a few beers a week. I usually try to consume less alcohol volume and more bang for your buck. IPA’s are usually what I aim for or two glasses of wine.
