Could adding beer to your diet help you to lose weight?
According to a top nutritionist, replacing oil in cooking with ale can help you to cut calories and add nutrition. Oil is around 120 calories per tablespoon, but 12 fluid ounces of beer (around 12 tablespoons) is just 146 calories. Also, depending on the recipe, many of these calories are removed by the cooking process. As an added bonus, beer is packed with B vitamins, magnesium, phosphorus and selenium. Plus (in moderation), beer has been shown to help reduce heart disease – so next time you're preparing a healthy meal why not reach for the ale?
