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.
