in Introduce Yourself
Hey I'm new here and want to lose my fat gut. It's gross. I think I'm starting to develop man-boobs too.

My main vice is beer. It's definitely where most of my weight has come from (well, the beer AND the takeaways that result from being drunk).

Any suggestions of good substitutes?

Cheers! (pun fully intended)

    The only thing about having vodka and other spirits is that the glasses are always so tiny so it's gone before you know it.

    I recommend a much more wholesome way of life. Cut out the beer completely, but if that's too much too soon just cut it right down. Focus your attention on other aspects when you're out socially other than drinking. It's sometimes more fun to sit back and watch others get off their faces than them watching you ;)

    There is no such thing as a good alternative. Except cutting down on the beer.

    I don't get beer urges, but I have found that guzzling a 20oz bottle of Diet Coke quenches most cravings.

    Nope, just cut down on the booze and/or find a lower calorie drink you like......

    I only drink once a week now. It's a chore, but someone's got to do it! :wink:

    and if you drink light or low cal beer - it'll take a whole twelve pack to even start a buzz... I make sure to drink with people who won't gorge eat afterwards - then I only get the calories from the beer not the **** food after :)

    A substitue for beer? You mean what can you drink and not get fat? I myself am an avid beer drinker. I am also fat. Dude, there is no way around it. I quit drinking beer and I immediately lost 8 pounds. On a rare occasion I will have some wine or vodka with low fat tonic water. But beer is just a bunch (I mean a bunch) of empty calories. It's tragic, I am sorry for your loss. Your going to have to get on the wagon if your serious about weight loss and drink occasionally, smartly.

    (When I do have beer it's Guiness since that is good for you I hear)

    There are two problems with that:

    Firstly, I will remain sober. This is not a lot of fun in a pub or club.

    Secondly, all that caffeine will give me palps. :(

    Moderation is going to be your key. I too love beer but if I know I'm going to have a couple then I account for it in my calorie intake and I'm trying to do just a little extra exercise that day. Just my thought.

    A lot of my weight came from the fact I drank to much beer.

    I cut WAY back on my drinking and I am much happier for it.

    I have found that fun outdoor activities are a much more fulfilling. Hiking, biking, snowboarding, and such are what I do for entertainment, social activities, stress relief....


    I also like Hot tea to relax with.

    When I do drink now I just have a couple good beers and quit. (none of the mgd 64 BS)
