If you are on a quest to lose weight, what is the first thing you think of when you are about to have a beer? A big old beer belly, right? After all, beer is anything but a weight loss friendly drink.
But, this guy just proved everyone wrong and actually lost weight drinking beer. Unbelievable right? Del Hall, a man living in Cincinnati, Ohio decided to fast for Lent (a Christian Holiday) through March by just drinking beer and nothing else.
The inspiration for him, you ask? Traditional monks who followed a similar diet by surviving on fermented drinks for a long while.
Del did not eat anything else but just plain old beer all through the 46-day diet plan. As per sources, he did not feel a tad bit of a difference and in fact, felt healthier than before. At the end of the period, when he checked himself on the weighing scale, he actually lost 44 pounds or nearly 20 kilograms.
To help him in the process and take the challenge up a notch, breweries actually helped him with the beer supply. Del also admitted that following this ‘crazy’ diet made him lose weight and get fit and he doesn’t regret anything.
If you are scared of having a beer belly, it is important to note how many drinks you are downing. While beer definitely has more calories than most alcoholic drinks, you get a beer belly only with sessions of binge drinking.
