Swapping a daily glass of wine for a beer could help you save as many calories as you would by taking a 30-minute jog, a UK-based consumer group claims.
The consumer group Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) claimed that beer's reputation for being fattening was unfounded.
"For years, beer has been blighted by a reputation for being more fattening than other alcoholic drinks, when in reality the exact opposite is true," beer expert Prof. Charlie Bamforth said.
"The major source of calories in any alcoholic drink is the alcohol itself, and because beer is the drinks category with the lowest average alcohol content, it is also lowest in calories - so for someone looking to lose weight, swapping their glass of wine for a beer every day would ... cut out more calories than are burned off during a typical 30-minute jog."
Goes to show how good a frothy really is for you!
