Light beer vs. Soda

jhawkin1 · 10-19-2009, 07:33 PM

I am planning on taking my girlfriend out, but I will probably end up being the designated driver. What is more detrimental to loss of muscle mass- soda or light beer?

Neither. It's a date, enjoy yourself. If all goes well, you should burn off the extra calories afterward.

If you are Designate Driver I'd go with the diet soda (although beer is my preferred beverage

)

Haha get some extra lower body movements...especially in the hips!

Ive found myself taking my wife out and i still order an iced tea. Granted i dont need to "fit in" since i know im getting some regardless

Ever since ive been working out hard and monitoring my diet beer has not sounded good. I get an occasional thirst(so i just contradicted what i said) but i think about the benefits of not drinking that beer.

And, if i had to choose id go water over light beer(wait, are these not the same items?)

No, you're confused. Light beer is a byproduct of water intake and a readily available piss bottle.

Broke it off with the girl- time to cheat the night away!!! haha

Beer in moderation like anything else needn't be a problem. Sounds like you're doing pretty well at 8% anyways!

yeah, lots of weights, a bit of cardio, jump roping, occasional carb ups (usually weekends) and all my fruits and veggies throughout the week.
