Men, Beer Belly Be Gone, But You Can Keep Your Beer!

Oct 312009

Men are you tired of hearing about how flat your stomach used to be and how the heaviest thing you lift now is your gut over your belt? If so, thats about to change, as I (drum roll please) am about to show you How to Get Rid of the Beer Belly without Giving Up Beer! Now let’s get down to defining what a beer belly really is and determine if it is really caused by beer.

Let us first define what a beer belly is. By definition, a beer belly is an area of fat that is positioned between your chest and your waist, or what used to be your waist. Now, is it cause by beer? The surprising answer is no. Science has proven that beer bellies are caused by calories that haven’t been burned up by your body that get deposited to that section of your body. Why is it deposited there? Men are genetically dispositioned to deposit the greatest amount of their fat in their stomach area.

Now that you know where your beer belly reallly comes from (probably that fried chicken you’ve been eating) you get start figuring out what you, if anything, you are going to do to get back in shape. You can begin by working on the fat cells that are multiplying in your stomach. While beer is not the direct cause of your belly, it can contribute. Alcohol can make you hungrier (think about your last time at happy hour at a local bar). So if you stopped drinking as much, you’d be taking a step in the right direction.

Get rid of the beer and you also get rid of the increased appetite. However, this article is about losing weight without getting rid of the beer, so that will not be included in our weight loss efforts. But you can switch to a lighter beer with fewer calories and in addition you can exercise more than you drink so that you are burning more calories than you are drinking. Some of you may think that exercising extensively is too much hard work, so that won’t be included in our diet program either. But we will look at the best beers for your belly.

The first thought that probably comes to your mind when somebody says low calorie beer is those light beers that taste terrible. This article is not going to try to convince you of those beers, because we all know that real men don’t drink such girly drinks.

So first up is a nice dark Guinness Draught, boasting 125 calories and 10 carbs its not a light beer but it does have a low calorie count and you wont have to drink 10 of them to make up for the lack of taste. Next up is Beamish Irish Stout, it has 131 calories but you still arent losing anything in the taste and your waist is happy. So drink responsibly and finish up with Busch, it has 133 calories and about 10 carbs.

Now you know what you can do to get rid of that beer belly without getting rid of the beer. As a matter of fact, the next time your wife or girlfriend or your mother tells you to get from in front of the television and lose some weight, go to the fridge, grab yourself a cold one and tell her you’re working on it right now!

Lots of women believe that they have to be a size 6 to be hot and sexy. What a common misconception! The truth is that every woman is sexy in her own way, no matter what her size or shape. The following tips are guidelines that every woman should follow to bring out their inner sexy.

1. Spice Up Your Hair and Makeup. This is one of the easiest and yet most dramatic things that you can do in the mornings to get you on your way to sexy. Take a little extra time in the morning to first of all do your hair. Style it in different ways that compliment your face. Get inspiration from magazines and from celebrities. Then, take some time to do your makeup. It is a face enhancer, and will help to bring out your natural beauty. If you need help, try going to the makeup counter at a department store, or to a makeup store like MAC to learn how to do your makeup properly.

2. Just a few Accessories! It is amazing the difference that a few accessories can make. First of all, you should never leave home without a good pair of earrings. They add a nice little something to your face and to any outfit. Next, consider a necklace, a scarf, or even some bracelets. However, don’t overdo it. Coco Chanel always said to take just one thing off before going out the door.

3. High Heels Please! Consider wearing high heels. Not everyone can wear them super high, but even a short heel can be very sexy. They typically show off your calf muscles and make your legs look very hot. For very comfortable high heels, try Cole Haan’s. They are a bit pricey, but worth the extra money for the comfort. But if you cannot wear heels, then make sure that the shoes you pick are sexy and make your legs look great!

4. Beautiful Briefs! Ladies, it is very important that you look good on the outside, but you must take care of the inside first. There is nothing more unattractive than an outfit that looks bad on you because you are not wearing the right undergarments. Even the skinniest of women sometimes need an undergarment to make an outfit look right. That being said, you must make sure that your undergarments are new, matching, and sexy. You should never have on three different colors under your clothes. You also need not wear granny panties or girdles. The make girdles very sexy now, so do you and your man a favor by taking advantage of that.

5. Get a Fragrance. Being sexy involves an entire aura that you give off. You must not only stimulate the visual senses, but also the sense of smell. Therefore, it is important that you invest in a fragrance that really accentuates your body’s natural smell. Try taking a trip to Sephora to see what you might like. They carry lots of different perfume options, so you are sure to find one that you like. Experiment with several and you may find that they bring out your inner sexy.

As you pretty much gathered, sexy 101 did not mention anything about weight loss. Sexiness has less to do with weight and more to do with your inner confidence, which is what make you beautiful both inside and out. No dieting required.
