I have been a homebrewer for a few years now, I even used to write some articles here on HBT. I also used to be pretty overweight....

About a year ago I got very into fitness and started lifting weights 5-6 days a week, and changed my diet entirely. As you can imagine my brewing took quite a hit, but I lost over 40 lbs and gained a lot of muscle!!!

I went from brewing almost every weekend, and consuming a lot of beer, to last year I brewed 2 beers. (I'm still drinking a pale ale I kegged in July)

Today I brewed for the first time since June, a nice American Stout. I really enjoyed myself and want to get back in the hobby at some level just not sure how to balance my fitness goals and homebrew....

Fitness folk seem very anti alcohol especially beer. Many preach a lot about how drinking will hurt your muscle/ strength gains.

So who here is into fitness and also makes beer? How do you balance it, and how often do you brew? How much are you able to consume in a given week and still get good workouts, and the results you want?

 

Interesting! Proper nutrition is just as important for weight loss as regular exercise. It is important for me to calculate the daily allowance, so I use the calorie tracker - it allows me to choose the right menu in accordance with all the needs of my body. What is your opinion regarding this issue? I will be glad to hear your answer

 

I'm struggling with that as well. In my case, beer is a great way to relax, but after beer, I have no energy to do anything, even going for a run seems to be a challenge.
