The South Germany Beer, Bratwurst, Pork Hocks and Gingerbread Diet

The South Germany Beer, Bratwurst, Pork Hocks and Gingerbread Diet

First, get well-acquainted with your sausage vendor. And then stock up on German beer. With its high-alcohol content, it's the key to a successful weight loss program.

Familiarize yourself with the recommended food choices listed in your BBPH&A guidebook; you can find nearly every food allowed at a local biergarten.

Hint: If you drink beer before eleven a.m., pair it with a sausage.

Remember to keep the proper balance of foods with your beer. For example, if you order dumplings in gravy, always pair them with pork hocks (schweinhauxsen). With enough fat and protein , you'll never have that hungry feeling.

(No-Knife Rule: Split dumplings by pulling apart with two forks for better gravy absorption.)

Always measure portions. The dieter shown knows that one liter of beer provides enough grams of carbohydrates to begin the fermentation process that kick-starts weight loss.

Use beer to maintain a constant blood sugar level at all times of the day. While exercising or hiking, drink plenty of beer. Avoid water.

For quick results, set your goals at two liters of beer with a heavy meal.

Sometimes a low-fat food just can't be avoided. When this happens, just relax, and look around the table for the antidote. Here, buttered bread and creamy potato salad save the day.

Raise carbs and your spirits with a full liter of beer whenever you like.

Dieters who relax during their meals seem to lose pounds the quickest. While waiting for your after dinner beer liqueur, the Balance The Coaster On Your Nose Game can calm nerves.

Here's a tip for Americans trying to replicate this diet at home: it takes FOUR American beers to equal ONE German beer.

Your dessert beer liqueur will help burn calories, but don't expect this to happen on its own. Your must have heavy whipped cream on top or it won't work. Without cream, dessert beer is just empty calories.

After Dinner Beer Liqueur Round Two is for those whose carb-cream balance needs adjustment.

Dessert? On the South Germany diet, you can say YES to gingerbread and still fit into your leiderhosen! Prost!!!!
