Journalist Drank Only Beer for 46 Days… and Lost 11kg

Background

A journalist really went 46 days drinking nothing but beer

J. Wilson took on a wild experiment inspired by 17th-century Bavarian monks… replacing all food with beer and water for the entire duration of Lent.

Beer was considered “liquid bread” so he drank around 4 beers a day on weekdays and 5 on weekends, using a strong doppelbock to keep his energy up. At first, the hunger hit hard… but eventually, his body adjusted.

By the end of the 46 days, he reportedly lost around 11kg and even claimed improved focus and sleep

The whole concept comes from monks in Bavaria who used this method to fast during Lent… but just to be clear, this was a personal experiment, not exactly doctor-approved

Would you ever try this?
