  • Its an interesting thought though. One 330ml can of beer per day over the course of a year works out at about 7.5kg of fat worth of calories. Based on 150 calories per can, which is what a fancy IPA packs now days.

    A good friend of mine is struggling to shift his weight but has a can of beer and small bag of nuts "as a treat" after work every day.

  • Have you mentioned that? I stopped drinking for a month and lost maybe 5kg.
    It sucks though. I'd rather be 5kg heavier and able to drink - which is where I'm at now.

    Maybe I could find another hobby...

  • Have you mentioned that?

    No, not yet. Its a little sensitive as he also has gout so I think his drinking might be a little more problematic than he realises. He's taking steps in the right direction. I don't want to put any more pressure on him than he currently has.

    I don't think its a coincidence that my biggest weight loss has come after 18 months of reducing my alcohol intake by 90%+. Even though I wasn't a regular drinker, it all adds up.

  • Another hobby that would fairly easily burn 300000 calories of beer?
    Maybe best to stay on the bike, and continue to drink beer.
