How Bigs Ya Gut?

[peas_and_corn]

I have a little gut, but nothing to worry about. That's been made by many, many pizzas and other assorted crap I eat rather than the beer (which is burnt up when I'm at work). However, beer does have quite a few calories when compared to, say, spirits.

Dont worry folks, I've just done a little research and as near as I can determine, a glass of beer is about 160 calories and sleeping burns up 55 calories per hr. Therefore, simple logic says that every time you have a glass of beer, you must have a three hour nap!

So obviously there's no co-relation between gut size, and mouth size

I was once told that people are fat due to the simple fact that the entrance is much larger than the exit!

Folks

There has been some interesting research into this done recently. Here are some links to the New Sciebtist coverage -

The short answer - Beer is no worse than any other food containing the same numbber of kilojules. Alcohol does cut down on eating inhibitions and stimulates the apetite making it more likely you will pig out on greasy chiips or a huge kabab.

In spite of all this the amazing fact is that beer drinkers tend to be thinner on average than non drinkers. No one knows why.

Oh and on the subject of taking vitamin suplements - http://www.newscientist.com/channel/health...025533.100.html

Not only pointless (in someone without an actual deficiency) but in some cases dangerous as well.

As for me = 6'3" dunno how much I weigh. Prety skinny though. I did get a bit of a gut a few years ago mostly through sitting on my arse behind a desk all day. I took up sword fighting and burned it off again. its amazing how much weight you burn up swinging a broadsword for 3 hours a week while wearing armour...
