When your six pack becomes a keg
It’s not only women who struggle to maintain their weight. Men also battle the bulge, but men and women store deposits of fatty tissue on their bodies differently. Women’s adipose tissue is stored on their breasts and the hips, thighs and bottom. All of that storage helps to give females the shape and curves attract men, like big boobs or a shapely booty. Ironically, many women feel conscious about their curves.
Men carry a lot of fat around their core section, and as they get older frequently a pronounced gut develops. Because many men like to drink alcohol as they age, and alcohol consumption can really pack on the calories, the fat belly that men grow is often called a “beer belly”. It’s easy to get one of the these tell-tale signs of manliness, and hard as hell to get rid of a beer gut.
Best way to get rid of a beer belly
The best way to lose a beer belly is obvious, but not always simple. Stop drinking beer. While drinking beer is a satisfying end to a hard day’s work, it can also wreck havoc on your waistline. For example, a single pint of Guinness Extra Stout has 176 calories. You would have jog at a medium pace for over 30 mins, just to burn off that one beer. If you drink 3-4 beers five nights a week, it would require equally intense workouts just to get back to baseline.
We’re not saying that you have to quit drinking beer completely. We are after all in control of our own lives and can choose to partake in any adult activity we choose. You may try substituting a light beer, or a shot of top-shelf whisky, in place of high-calorie brewed beverages. If your drinking buddies give you a hard time, or call you names for choosing a “sissy beer”, make sure you brush up on your bar fighting skills so you can show them whose boss.
Get up and get moving
Drinking beer after working a desk job, or any other job that keeps your butt in a seat, is a double whammy. Not only does your body burn a minimal amount of fat while your fat ass polishes a chair all day, then you overload on empty alcoholic calories before you sleep. While your wallet might be getting fat, your gut is going to get fat too.
If you can’t, or won’t, cut back on drinking beer then you will have to get some exercise in to help get rid of the beer gut. The good news is there are plenty of awesome ways to do this. Here’s a short list, and you probably have a few great ideas of your own.
- Chopping wood – Nothing is more manly than smashing something with an axe. Period.
- Paintball – You used to love this sport, and you were good at it. Get the guns out of the garage and light up your enemies all over again.
- Challenge Nature – Think your tough? How about planning a 40 mile round trip on your weekend off?
- Run some stairs – If Rocky can do it, so can you. Find the longest staircase near you and burn your beer gut off.
Sex Machine
One of the worst aspects of a huge beer gut is a not being able to see your schlong. If you have to use a mirror in order to see your member of the board, it’s time to lose the beer belly. Not only will you feel better, you’ll have more energy in bed, more confidence, and your woman will notice a huge improvement. Bonus round: Your dick will also look bigger too!
Sex is great way to burn off extra energy. Some studies say that men can burn more than 100 calories per sex session. What a great way to lose some weight, have fun and get a good night’s sleep. There is a catch though guys: The key to burning the most calories during sex, is to do all the work. We understand that’s is super arousing to watch your girl go cowgirl-style onto of you, but when she’s the one getting the workout, she reaps the weight-loss benefits. It’s time to man-up and lay more pipe than plumber on a cocaine-fueled work binge.
Other ways to lose the beer belly
If you can’t quit drinking, exercise, and/or get laid a few extra times per week, there is still hope to shed the beer belly. All of the extra fat that is gathering on your core isn’t just from beer. Any surplus food that you eat and your body doesn’t can end up adding to your beer belly. That means, Super Bowl party foods or munchies when you go play video games at your buddies place.
Cutting back on fatty, high cholesterol foods, can really impact your beer belly. So instead of eating nachos and double pepperoni pizza a few nights per week, try a F’in salad. Whatever your comfort food, if you can limit your intake, you will be well on your way to reducing the size of your beer gut.
