Beer Gut

[Jase]

If you have a beer gut, you aren't in top physical shape. Those things don't just grow on Kenyan marathon runners.

I try to eat well enough to offset the beer drinking. For example yesterday I had a nutri grain bar for breakfast, lean cuisine and yoplait for lunch, apple for a snack and at dinner an average portion of grilled chicken breast with green beans and mashed potatoes. Then beer. Occasionally I have sweets like ice cream or cookies and that's what I really see weight gain from.

I drink beer every day, can't remember the last day I missed.

 

That said, I eat at home almost every meal, and if not there it's usually a salad at the office.

 

I don't drink any soft drinks or sweet tea.

 

I very rarely drink liquor.

 

No sweet stuff.

Na, calories are something that matter very little.  Other than the apple and chicken, everything else is high in bad sugar.  Well maybe not lean cuisine but it's a processed frozen dinner so it isnt very good for you.  Once sugar is processed, especially fake sugar, it goes right to your gut.  Even the grain bar has a good amount of sugar in it and the mashed potatoes turn right to sugar.  Yoplait is far from healthy.  All alcohol is processed into sugar in our bodies so anyone who drinks daily, will eventually develop a gut unless you are very conscious in your diet and exercise.

Well i dint exercise much other than working around the house, and i dint have much of a gut. Until vacation and holiday this past week i had been around the same weight for two years. Those two things always add a few pounds but it doesnt take long to get them back off.

eating a small amount helps, doesnt sound like you over indulge but check out other yogurts like Siggi's or even Fage.

Speaking of yogurt I make my own most of the time.  My favorite yogurt recipe is an old frugal gourmet one - you melt butter in your frying pan and crack in 4 or 5 eggs then cover them with yogurt and already fried,  very thinly sliced onions, and garlic.  You slow cook with the lid on the pan till the eggs are done but still runny -  slide it all onto a big plate on top of toast.  Sounds gross but its absolutely delicious.  Chase with a red eye or if you dont want to make your own a Budweiser Chelada.

I don't have a beer gut in the sense. Just after a few years of drinking I don't have abs anymore.

I'm in top physical condition and I'm in very good shape except one place.. I'm starting to gain some stomach fat aka beer gut. Seems like everyone on here is a beer drinker like myself so tell me how you keep the beer gut in check. 

 

What are your pillars of focus when going to the gym?

 

Also, besides alcohol, how much soda and specifically energy drinks do you consume?

 

Heavy caffeine use can raise the chemical "cortisol" and specifically add inches to your waist.

 

If you consume too much alcohol, it can lower your testosterone levels, and raise cortisol in the process.

 

If you are at the gym going at a snails pace on a treadmill, you might as well not even go. Try doing some high intensity cardio, and DEF add sprints to your workout regime!

 

I lost 30 pounds last year, and I have managed to keep it off my heavily monitoring things like this.

Racquetball, preferably with someone who plays dirty like me. You'll lose it and break a couple ribs in the process

Besides the beer and perhaps an energy drink once a week I live a semi-vegan lifestyle. Once a week I'll have fish, maybe a steak on holidays. I don't even use a gym I just do light workouts at home. I just got some creatine from the store and I'm going to kick my workout into high gear.
