Beer doesn't make you fat if you take his tips to heart: Tom von Bieren gives impulses, is a speaker, lecturer and, above all, beer sommelier.

The barley cold bowl has fewer calories than, for example, wine, apple juice and low-fat milk. There it makes rather the quantity, because a measure drinks away itself more easily than for example a liter milk. In addition, the hops in beer contain bitter substances, and these stimulate the appetite - as does the alcohol.

Nevertheless one does not have to do without the barley beverage when removing, says Tom of beers "Not, if one is conscious of the calories, reduces with the meal accordingly and plans the sport equal." Half a liter of Pils has about 210 calories. To neutralize those you have to run for about 25 minutes or bike for 40.

His calorie-saving tips:

  • Choose non-alcoholic beer, because alcohol suppresses fat burning and adds more calories.
  • Drink consciously, because alcohol "disinhibits" and thus puts the hurdle to stop in time incomparably higher.
  • The stronger the beer, the more calories: Non-alcoholic is lowest in calories.
  • Wheat beer has fewer than Pilsner. Only Kölsch, which is very high in calories, is excluded.
  • Try "Sour Radler": Beer with a shot of mineral water instead of soda. If you don't like that, use sugar-free soda.
  • Drink the same amount of water with each beer. This "stretches" the calories and the alcohol content of the beer in the body and is also suitable as a calorie-free thirst quencher.
