Alcohol free

[Broughtonblue]

We all know alcohol is very fattening, but is alcohol free beer also fattening? Decided to lose a bit of weight by cutting out the daily couple of pints, but there's nothing like a cold beer on the odd sunny day we get, hence my question.

calories is calories is calories. according to the practitioner nurse who got asked that last week.

in a word yes

Read the calorie amount on the nutritional info on the bottle and compare.

According to this, one leading brand of alcohol-free beer contains 125 cal per 500ml. That's a bit over half as much as real beer.

As an example... 74 calories in a bottle of Bitburger Drive, 146 in a bottle of alcoholic Bitburger

Also real beer makes you hungrier.

Also real beer makes you handsome, funny, interesting, intelligent and an all round great guy.

FTFY

Alcohol-free beer just reminds me of what I'm missing, and it tastes pretty awful anyway. I find it's better to stick to an alcohol-free drink like a Bloody Virgin Bull. Bags of taste, spicy etc. You can add horseradish etc.

You don't need to go alcohol free. Try some of the low-carb beers like Satzenbrau, Holsten Pils, and Michelob Ultra.

Enjoy your beer knowing there's fewer calories in it.

Brewdog Nanny State is the only acceptable one I've found. The internet tells me there are 9 calories in 100mls

+1 for Nanny State. It actually tastes of beer.

Go on - post that in the beer thread, I dare you.

Carling is repulsive, I'd rather drink water (I don't really like mini eggs so I'll have a pack of maltesers with my pint of h20)

That's my main problem, it makes you hungrier (due to blood sugar levels?) and it also makes you less disciplined diet wise!.

I lost over 2 stone but still found room for 2 Guinness every other night.

2 pints is 400kcal thought so can see why you want to cut it out!.
