    Default Drink beer but stay skinny?

    I am beside myself with how much weight I lost with Tonalin CLA. But I like my cold beer in the summer. How can I drink beer and stay skinny? Make it a breakfast drink to avoid letting the calories "sit" overnight?

    They have all of those "lite" and low carb beers out now, so it shouldn't be too hard to not gain weight if you drink it in moderation, as long as you are eating healthy and working out too.

    I like Corona and just started going to Corona light, I actually prefer the taste better. If you stick with light, I'm sure you wouldn't gain as much as you would with the regs.

    Ooh, and use a glass you put in the freezer, the colder something is the harder your body works to heat it up so you don't gain as much (this is why ice water is good for you.) Plus it's harder to drink something Ice cold, I think.

    Try drinking a glass of water between each drink. Several advantages...fills you up so you drink less and also goes towards your daily water intake goal!

    In case anyone else likes to drink cold margaritas in the summer, Baja Bob's Margarita Mix tastes awesome and is very low cal (and low carb)! Basically the only calories are from the tequilla you add.

    I like the idea that drinking water in between beers will fill you up faster hence less calories from drink less beer. Stick with lite beers. I'm not a big beer drinker. I like mike's low cal low carb lemonade and diet coke with light rum or vanilla stoli.

    I may have many faults, but being wrong ain't one of them.

    Miller light has few carbs and I think less calories than all the other domestic beers that aren't ultra's.

    I LOVE Pacifico. It's my weakness.

    Actually, drinking a light beer is better for you than drinking a pop! So unless you drink Diet pop, you're better off drinking light beer, anyway

    There are few light beers that have a full flavor. And if you've had California microbrew, you can understand why I asked the above question.

    Anchor Steam is the bomb! And yes, most light beers taste like piss.

    Beer is basically just empty calories, no need to worry about it if you burn em off. Pretend you're eating an extra cupcake or something

    i live in england, and cannot seem to find any 'light' beers. maybe i am just not looking hard enough, or know of which brands are less calories. this certainly is my downfall. i go to the gym 5 times a week, eat well but i spend a lot of time in bars. i easily have about 5 pints in a session, and thats at least twice a week. i know that is what is keeping an extra layer of pudding on my belly, as none exists elsewhere!

    I hate to break it to you, but alcohol of any kind, particularly beer du eto the way it is manufactured (almost all us beer is a maltodextrin derivitive) is basically metabolic death, and has been proven time and time again to really slow your metabolic rate down for days after it's consumption, not too mention that it affects your estrogen levels, which as we all know, is an easy way to pick up extra unwanted weight...the good news, if you're sticking to your nutrition plan, AND exercise, the occasional drinking binge, or "cold beer in the summer" isn't going to wreck you, but be warned that it is important to get the rest of your diet and exercise right or the negative effects of the booze will start to show quite quickly...now don't get me wrong, I LOVE tequila, even with all 900+ cals per shot...it's just that I've learned to pick and choose my moments now that I'm very serious about my training and nutrition...

    I love dark beer, microbrews... ugh! I am a sucker so New Belgian's 1554 Brussels Style Black Ale. I try to like the light beers but I can't! So... moderation is my only option, lol.

    And now it is St. Paddy's day so I'm entitled to my hydraulic sandwich...er... Guinness.
