Gaining Weight?

I have always had a problem with weight and lost over 100 lbs twice in my life. 140 first time and 110 second time. (Diet and Exercise does work)

I have noticed since I started brewing beer that I have gained about 30 pounds. I used to drink at least a 6 pack of coors light, natty, rolling rock or miller high life every day.
Switched to real beer, down to 3 a day, and put on 30 lbs. WTF?

I'm drinking
Dos Equis
Dinkel Acker
Sierra Nevada.
Amstel Light(it was free)

Any suggestions for a lighter beer.
I placed an order with morebeer for
American Lite
Light ale
Mild brown,
Thinking these would be lower calorie/carb/abv beer.
Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Bob

Keep your beer down below about 3.5% ABV, and the calorie count will be a little more "gut friendly." Download a copy of BeerSmith or other brewing software to design your own "low cal" recipes. Use the chart below to help keep the recipes balanced.

Beck's Light

64 calories a bottle. THE LOWEST calorie beer in america. 3.8g of carbs. IF you like green beer it is a good one.

Dude...that's 250 pounds. You must be like a toothpick.



Keep your beers under 4% and chug a bottle of water in between. It isn't just the beer for me...it's the associated munchies I get.

"...this beer is making me hungry for some salty pretzels..."

yeah...since I've started I've noticed the same thing.....plus I quit smoking a month ago, and I know that I've eaten more than I used to...There's some sort of a weightloss thread on here that I've pretty much ignored...but have been considering seeing what they have to say....it's here. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=49989&highlight=weight+loss.

Nope. 230 now, and creeping up. I'm 5'5

My doctors exact words were- That's F'ng amazing. When i eat right and exercise, The pounds fly off.
LOW Blood pressure-118/68
My ideal weight is about 160/170

I broke my ankle, without health insurance, and it did not heal properly. I used too walk 3 miles a day. Then I leveled off at 200, until I started making beer. The funny part is I've only had 2 of my beers, I've been working on gathering bottles.
