How can I lose my beer belly without giving up Beer ? I dont want to be fat but I do love beer.?

I exercise regularly 4 or 5 days a week ( kickboxing, running, and wieght training) but still have a beer belly.
Answer:
Your body has no metabolic need for alcohol, thus, 100% of the alcohol has to be burned off before your body can burn body fat from teh other excercise you are doing. Also, alcohol slows your metabolism and is second only to pure fat in terms of caloric density (7 cal per gram I believe.)So yeah, I love beer too (proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy) but you have to cut back if you want to see those abs.Make sure your excercise is a structured program, spread your daily calories out to six meals per day, and avoid bread, pasta and sugar. Stick to lean meats, nuts and seeds, vegetables, some fruit, some starch, no processed sugar.Here's how to do the beer. Go to spartafit.com and figure out your daily caloric needs for loosing a pound a week. Keep exercising. Work the beer into your dinner on Monday and Wednesday, but only one each night. Then, on Saturday night, give yourself a cheat meal. Eat your big steak and have three or four beers and don't worry about it. But only that one night per week.Hey, its a compromise. But it should allow you to loose that gut without totally loosing the beer.
instead of eating 3 big meals a day eat 5 or six small ones it will speed up your motabolism, while still feeding your apetite
Your just going to have to decide whats more important. Getting rid of a beer belly or drinking all the beer you want. Either cut back on the beer a little or add even more exercise into your life. Good luck.
by overall weight loss find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)
