Fitness... What about Beer?

Calories IN < Calories Out (burned) = Weight Loss

That's it.

As with so many things, moderation is key.  Generally, moderation is defined as 1-2 beers a day for men and 1 a day for women.  The average beer is about 100 calories (about the same as 20 roasted peanuts).  You can't save up your weekly six pack and drink them all on one day of the weekend if you want six pack abs.  That's not moderation.  Also, you have to fit in fitness.  If you add in a minimum of 20-30 minutes of physical activity, your 1-2 beers shouldn't increase your belly size.  However, if you want to shrink what's already there, it's a good idea to curb the beer habit for a month or two (or more) while you get your metabolism in check.
