Great Beer, Great Body

It’s old news that beer and fat loss do not mix well together. The effects of simple sugars (what beer is made of) on your body's ability to use fat as energy (fat loss) is a shame if you enjoy a beer or any other alcoholic beverage once in awhile.

Overall, alcohol is not a friend when it comes to keeping the fat off. While normal sugar yields 4 calories per gram, alcohol yields 7 calories per gram, all which are worthless calories. The sugar also affects your insulin balance, which is the main determinant in how efficiently your body can release fat.

What can you do to have your beer and the body you want? The first option you have is to cut back to having a drink one day a week, especially if you are trying to lose fat. If this is a little too restrictive for you the next best option is to eat.

Alcohol sugars slow metabolism down, so 1 hour before you start drinking eat a well balanced meal of a protein and a complex carbohydrate (ex. chicken & potato). Protein has a heat producing or calorie burning effect, which will keep your metabolism active and burn those alcohol calories a little more efficiently.

You should also be eating sugar free/ high protein food during your drinking as well. This will continue to help keep your metabolism active and allow you to enjoy your beer, your body, and your night out on the town.

Welcome To The Fitcorp Asia Blog

Welcome to our blog and your new source for the most recent health and fitness information. We want to be your "go to guys" for any and all questions you may have and information you may need concerning your fitness endeavors or lack there of.

Yes we do offer personal training, bootcamps, small group training, corporate wellness programs, and a number of other awesome services that we do charge for. The Fitcorp Asia Blog though is an absolutely free source of top of the the line information that most trainers and training companies would rather not share or at least not give away for free.

Why would they not want to share that information with you?

It is quite simple, the longer you stay confused on how to get excellent results from your fitness routine, the longer you will have to depend on them to help you get OK results.

I highly recommend using a trainer as it is incredible accountability and motivation but when it come to fitness information to keep you healthy we think it should be FREE so you can take control of your own life.

The next post is going to give you a brief preview of some of the information that will greatly effect your fitness level but has been hidden from you because someone was trying to increase their bottom line. Before you leave also take a moment to sign up your email so we can let you know when the newest post has been released.
