Training & Nutrition - Beer is evil

Last month I decided to cut beer out of my diet in preperation for an upcoming team Duathlon. I have not been riding any more miles or doing any more exercising than usual. My diet has also remained exactly the same. In 4 weeks, I have lost 10 pounds.

more beer and more exercise!

yay more beer for me

10 pounds in 4 weeks ???? you were a heavy drinker !
I've cut beer too and manage to loose 3 pounds in 2 weeks. yes, I drink a lot of beer.

I need to loose two more pounds before the end of the month

I am with you OP. If I cut out beer I drop 10 pounds in a month and a half. If I replace it with wine I only lose 5.

I miss it though. Damn Microbrews and their highly caloric nectar!!

Yeah, I did love my beer. I really don't miss it though. The results outweigh any cravings for a beer.

just highlights the fact that most people with weight to lose are only usually out of balance by about 100 calories a day. One (good) beer is going to be more than that.

Everything in moderation.

Except beer please.

Drink Coors lite. It's like having sex in a canoe. It's F'in next to water :)

And liquor is quicker, wasn't it like that?

yeah, I can't understand how some people can drink quarts of beer on a regular basis. don't they see what going on in the mid-section?

I find beer(s) to be a fantastic recovery drink.

Ben Franklin did not believe in god and this quote is making fun of the rest of us for believing in god...

Agreed. Research shows (http://www.backpacker.com/beer_hydrate_water/blogs/daily_dirt/1074?utm_source=newsletter01&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter01) that beer hydrates better than water!

:thumb:AWESOME! now i have a reason to drink, thanks spanish scientists!

I love beer and exercise hard so I can keep drinking it without looking like I do. I'd sooner give up ice cream.

Valygirl, I'm with you and Ben on this one.

That's odd ... I always understood he was a Deist as an adult; while he did not participate in organized religion, his belief in God was fundamental to his beliefs/actions.

Not that I care one way or the other.
