Alcohol and weight loss sounds
like the greatest diet plan anybodies ever come up with. Imagine
being able to drink yourself skinny, using alcohol for weight
loss. Alcohol and weight loss could very well become the number
one weight loss diet in the land, if it were true.
Alcohol and weight loss is a tricky subject.
Alcohol has calories, however they are empty calories. This
is were the tricky part comes in, alcohol is not a food and
it has no nutrients so technically it should be ok to consume
alcohol and still lose weight. Except it does'nt work that way,
alcohol does contain simple carbohydrates.
The problem is what the body does with these
carbs. The carbs are turned into simple sugars, which if not
used as energy, are then stored as fat. So alcohol and weight
loss is not a good idea after all. On top of that alcohol also
impairs the brains ability to correctly judge if your really
hungry or full. Which of course means you may eat alot more
than you might normally even if you were'nt trying to lose weight.
Alcohol and weight loss just dont work, plain and simple.
