Tell a beer drinker he (or she) has to lose his beer gut, and his hands will instinctively clench up on his beer glass. Fine. Since the beer’s clearly staying put, then something else needs to give. Here’re six ways to help reduce that beer gut.

1. Bar Snacks are the Enemy

Source: Seniorgif.com God has to exist, because beer and bar snacks clearly can only be created by a devil. Amazing combination notwithstanding, bar snacks like fries, peanuts and chicken wings, quickly pile on the calories, and often without you noticing it (or caring). Though drinking a pint of beer gives you about 180kcal, wolfing down 110g of french fries packs on 354kcal and consuming a deep fried chicken wing means you’re putting 163kcal in your body (that’s right- ONE wing). So go for a hearty but healthy dinner before drinks to help reduce the craving for those sinful snacks. 2. Drink More (water)
Source: Giphy.com Asking someone to drink less beer is the same as asking them to give up beer completely –not likely to happen. But this is one insidious, yet ingenious way to fool your body into drinking less beer: by drinking more water; say a glass for two for every beer that you have. It also keeps you well hydrated, so that also helps reduce any hangover effects. 3. Reduce Carbs
Source: Phillytocharleston.tumblr.com Everyone knows there’s plenty of carbohydrates in beer, so one way of keeping things balanced is to reduce your carbohydrate intake during meals, and increase your protein intake instead. It also has the knock-on effect of helping to suppress your pangs too, which reduces your want for bar snacks. 4. Have a Healthy Diet
Source: Tumblr.com Sounds like a no brainer, but it actually does a lot more than you’d care to give it credit for: eat enough healthy fats to reduce your body’s craving for snacks (unhealthy fats), cruciferous vegetables to detox your liver, and increase protein intake to help raise your metabolism (coupled with exercise, ahem). Feels like a lot of work just to drink beer, innit? 5. Drink Earlier
Source: Tumblr.com Yes you heard right. Drinking earlier means you can end the night earlier and head back to your bed so you avoid the supper cravings that always come creeping around the midnight hour. For your reference, a plate of chicken murtabak comes in at a whopping 765kcal (more than having 4 pints of lager), a plate of mee goreng is 615kcal, and if you choose the “healthier” option of a prata kosong youy’re still getting 176kcal per prata. Not only does getting to bed early help you avoid these calorie traps, you also get more rest for your body after the round of drinks. 6. Ex. Er. Cise
Source: Hellyeahxmadonna.tumblr.com There’s no two ways about it. Even with the best laid plans, if you’re going to drink heartily, the numbers game of calories will get to you some day. So, how about some anaerobic exercises to help target body fat directly, like High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) exercises? Unlike many exercises, it takes only minutes of your time per day, you can do it in the comfort of your own home.
