Way to go Zap! Yeah, alcohol is about the worst thing ever for weight loss - it both slows muscle maintenance (by lowering protein uptake by 80%!) AND it essentially stops fat burn by putting a much better source of energy into your bloodstream. It's a one-two wammie. Toss in some high carb high fat chips & dip and you'll gain back those 11 lbs fast! My body is on the carb sensitive side so, to lose fat, I have to drop my carbs to about 30 per day which is pretty brutal - although I'm used to it now ... then on weekends I have the beer and chips and then back on the wagon on Mondays. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
