Belly fat



I have read some articles ‘bout having belly fat caused by liquors. Maybe this is some easier way to achieve what I’ve planned. So maybe, I should lessen my drinking habit.

Alcohol consumption inspires a variety of dietary questions: How many calories are there in a pint of lager? Does red wine have more calories than white? Let’s take a closer look at how alcohol affects weight loss.

Calorie content of common alcoholic beverages:

Although alcohol itself doesn’t contain fat, it is packed with calories. And when you add in mixers – juice, sugar and other ingredients – the calories really can add up.

Beer: Non-alcoholic beer actually has the same calories as alcoholic beer: 148 calories in a pint. If you drink a light beer – like Bud Light – you’ll only take in around 99 calories per pint.

Wine: Dry wine contains fewer calories than sweeter wine. For example, a glass of dry wine has about 106 calories and a glass of sweet dessert wine has a whopping 226 calories. If you drink a glass of wine before dinner, another glass with dinner and a sweet wine for dessert, you’ve added more than 400 calories to your meal.

You’ll be glad to hear that champagne contains the same amount of calories as other dry wines, 106 calories per glass.

The hard stuff: The calories in gin, rum, vodka or whiskey depends on the proof, which is twice the percentage of alcohol. For example, 90 proof vodka contains 45 per cent alcohol; 100 proof contains 50 per cent alcohol. And it’s easy to guess which has more calories: The higher the proof, the higher the calories.

Here’s the damage:

Double shot 80 proof contains 97 calories Double shot 90 proof contains 110 calories Double shot 100 proof contains 124 calories

Calorie content of other types of liquor varies greatly. Watch the really sweet stuff, though. A serving of schnapps has 108 calories, and crème de menthe will set you back 186 calories

Mixed drinks: Obviously, the larer the drink the higher the calorie content. If your favourite watering hole serves pond-sized margaritas, you can easily drink more than 400 calories (without the crisps and guacamole). Choose a smaller cocktail like a Cosmopolitan and you’ll only take in about a third of the calories. In a common serving size, here’s how many calories your favourite drink contains:

Bloody Mary: 115 calories (the celery adds less than five calories) Gin and tonic: 171 calories Pina colada: 262 caloriesWhiskey sour: 122 calories

If you’re too lazy to read it all, here’s the summary (maybe) of it.

The calories in some common alcoholic drinks:

1 standard bottle or can of beer (not strong beer) =150 calories
1 ounce of liquor (without mixer, which can add a lot of calories) += 65 calories
1 ounce of after dinner liqueurs = 188 calories
1 glass of red wine (125 ml) = 80 calories
1 glass of dry white wine (125 mls) = 75 calories
1 martini = 140 calories
1 cooler = 150 calories
1 margarita =168 calories

If you drink heavily, you should make sure to take high doses of multi vitamins and mineral supplements, particularly B complex vitamins.

Since I don’t drink Mixed drinks because of its price and obviously I really can’t afford it. We often drink hard or beers.

After reading some informative and helpful articles. I should really really really lessen drinking liquors. So help me God. 

I know it’s wrong to involve God’s name in such thing so sorry. I’ve already prayed my sincerity to him.
