The preconceived notion what we have about beer is that it makes us gain weight.
How far is it true? Did you cross check?
A man named Del Hall in March decided to live off beer alone and vowed to fast for 46 days of Lent (a solemn religious observance in the Christian liturgical calendar), and lost 44 pounds (nearly 20 kg).
The Ohio man works at Cincinnati¡¯s Fifty West Brewing Company committed to the liquid diet for 46 days after he got the idea from an ancient tradition that monks practiced in the 1600s.
¡°Being master brewers, they decided they would take a popular style of beer in Germany, bock beer, make it extra hearty and that would be their liquid bread and that¡¯s what they call it,¡± Hall said when he started the diet. ¡°So the monks in Bavaria, they would call doppelbock liquid bread and basically it would sustain them through the 46 days of lent.¡±
¡°It¡¯s not just possible monks did it, it's pretty plausible,¡± Hall said.
¡°I wasn't sure if the beer was going to allow me to experience all those things that fasting does but it absolutely has.¡±
He also added that he feels he's in his 20¡¯s again, although a lot of people called him crazy during the process. Hall says he didn¡¯t cheat even when he was tempted.
¡°I didn't die. I'm actually healthier than when I started and it's actually possible,¡± Hall said.
¡°Sometimes it doesn't even matter if it's actually good food or not, it smells great so that was super hard to be around all that.¡±
He further added that, ¡°I know that I have integrity and I did the entire challenge without a single cheat. That was really cool and I was really proud of the fact that I did that since obviously, you know, I'm overweight and I've indulged a lot in the past so to take on something like this and to do it and to do it with such integrity I'm really proud of that fact,¡±
¡°If I reach for something really bad for me I can pass it up because I didn¡¯t eat for 46 days one meal's not going to kill me,¡± Hall said.
Hall felt healthier than ever when he ate a bowl of guacamole for his first meal after the fast, followed by beer - because beer is beer.
