Does beer make you fat?

September 22, 2020 by Victor Leave a Comment

Some people think that drinking beer is the quickest way to get a beer belly. Who hasn’t seen the photos of plump men with a three-foot waistline, happily and proudly grabbing a can of cold beer? So the question is: does beer make you fat?

Does beer make you fat? Or … does beer contain calories?

As most nutritionists will tell you, it’s the calories that count in gaining or losing weight. Eat more calories than you need and you will quickly notice that you are putting on weight. Most regular beers contain between 140 and 150 calories, while light beers contain between 100 and 110. A regular beer has about the same calorie content as a soft drink and a little less than a soft drink. . “A glass of whole milk or wine. Most regular beers contain ten to fourteen grams of carbohydrate.

Although a regular beer has fewer calories than a glass of milk, or even less than a light beer, the problem with beer when it comes to weight gain is that most people don’t stop at just one. glass. If you don’t settle for just one glass of regular beer and take three more, you’ll add 450 calories to your daily calorie intake. If you get used to it for just eight days, you will clearly notice that you are putting on weight. Combine that with the other carbonated drinks you drink throughout the day, such as soft drinks, and you could easily go over your daily calorie limit, and that’s right with the drinks.

Here are some other reasons why beer can make you fat

Another reason why beer could lead to weight gain is that most people consume snacks while drinking beer. Whether it’s pretzels dipped in mustard, beer nuts or pizza, all of these sides give you more calories than your beer. Unless you’re munching on celery stalks and carrots, a beer paired with snacks could prove to be a massive source of unnecessary calories.

A very interesting study

A study conducted by Swiss researchers and published in The New York Times showed that when a man drinks alcohol, it seems to slow down the rate at which fat is metabolized by the body. In fact, men burn a third fewer calories when they drink alcohol than when they don’t.

More interestingly, research on women, through various studies, has shown that women who drink alcohol in moderation are less likely to gain weight and may even lose weight. Alcohol is believed to have only a mild metabolic stimulating effect in women at least. It is also possible that women who drink moderately tend to eat less. Could that explain why you rarely see women with beer bellies?

Conclusion

Beer itself does not contain more calories than other drinks, especially milk, although it has lower nutritional value. The reason why beer seems to be the cause of what is called a ‘beer belly’ most likely stems from habits associated with beer consumption, such as unhealthy snacks and the fact that most people drink a lot. of beer. glasses of beer which provide them with huge amounts of calories.

Beer does not help you lose weight, on the contrary!

So, consider exercising to get rid of the negative effects of alcohol. Studies have also shown that men and women can respond to alcohol differently in terms of weight gain, which is why men are more prone to beer belly. The best approach, as it always has been, is to exercise restraint.
