Beer has been given the title as worst alcohol for your belly and your weight in general, so how can you lose weight without giving up alcohol?

Beer contains approximately 7 calories per gram and add to that the fact that alcohol contains “empty calories” with no nutritional benefits and you can see why it has been blamed for causing weight gain. But that doesn’t mean you have to quit drinking altogether if you’re trying to lose weight.

Here are some tips for drinking, if you’re on a diet.

1. Enjoy your planned meals. If having a glass of your favourite drink once in a while helps you do that, do it if that’s going to help you stick to your diet.

2. Avoid processed drinks and keep away from sugar laden cocktails. Opt for a spirit such as vodka instead. See more at http://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/how-to-lose-your-beer-belly-without-giving-up-alcohol
