What The Hell Beer Diet?

Did you know that adding beer to your diet can even benefit your body? Below we talk about how the diet of beer has a positive effect on health.

Of course, consuming beer in large quantities is not recommended due to its alcohol content. However, you can drink a reasonable amount of alcohol without being harmful. Even in this case, however, it is recommended that non-alcoholic beer be used in the diet.

You may still find it strange to talk about a diet based on this famous drink. That’s not surprising, because as we said at the beginning, beer has a bad reputation combined with alcoholism.

However, scientific evidence shows that this drink can be of great benefit to you, which we will tell you now in this article.

Is beer stomach true or a myth?

Virtually everyone associates drinking beer with an increase in waist circumference, more commonly known as “bald stomach”. However, recent studies have shown that beer is not associated with a growing waist circumference.

This suggests that the so-called beer stomach is instead formed as a result of the joint accumulation of a large amount of fat and water. This means that people with a beer stomach would have one regardless of whether they drank beer or not.

However, excessive beer consumption can affect people with beer stomach more because it causes flatulence.

Being overweight should not be put on the beer spike

The fact that an overweight person drinks beer does not mean that the drink in question has caused him to be overweight.

Studies have been done to see if there is any connection between being overweight and beer. The results show that there is no evidence that beer consumption causes weight gain.

A person drinking beer may indeed be overweight, but this overweight depends on certain metabolic diseases or high caloric intake. The latter distorts the myth that beer makes you obese because it contains very few calories.

Should I drink beer while on a diet?

The “Beer Diet” has recently received more media attention.

This is the best moment to clarify one thing: when we talk about the term “beer diet,” we are referring to a beer-based diet. So we mean you get to drink a little more beer when you’re trying to lose weight. This must, of course, be reasonable and non-alcoholic.

As we mentioned, moderate beer consumption is recommended during a dieting diet.

This is due to the following benefits:

Nutritional properties and low calorie

First, beer can be drunk in moderation during the diet without worrying about too much weight gain.

A regular beer bottle (33 cl) contains 148 calories. If you choose the non-alcoholic version, you will only get 68 calories per bottle.

It is recommended to drink non-alcoholic beer. It’s not only because it contains fewer calories, but also because you avoid drinking alcohol, which is really the origin of beer’s bad reputation.

It is also important to note that beer is high in minerals as well as vitamins (especially multivitamins B) and is a diuretic.

Things to consider

The “beer diet” is not the diet itself

We recommend that you include beer in any diet to lose weight. However, beer should by no means replace food.

Just enjoy it as a drink that contains vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

If you’re thirsty, beer is far more beneficial to your body – and less lean – than a soft drink or pasteurized juice.

You must not forget that these drinks – even the light versions – are high in sugar and increase the number of calories. So choose a beer.

Drink beer in moderation and do not combine it with high-calorie foods

Every day 2-3 drinks of beer for men and 1-2 drinks of beer for women are considered “reasonable” . Drinking a larger amount may not be healthy.

It seems obvious, but we need to emphasize it: if you combine beer with a high-calorie, fatty food, the combination will make you gain weight for sure.

Use beer to restore hydration and exercise

Did you know that beer can be a good option for restoring hydration and supplementing with mineral salts after exercise? However, always do it in moderation and preferably with non-alcoholic beer.

Beer contains maltodextrin, a type of carbohydrate that promotes fluid recovery after physical activity.

Health benefits of beer

According to research, the trace elements in beer promote heart health as it acts as a healing agent. Similarly, it contains polyphenols, silicone and flavonoids that help bone health.

Drinking beer is also especially beneficial to women’s health. It has antioxidants as well as anti-inflammatory and anti-viral properties.  It also improves estrogenic activity.
