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.
