A lot of people complain that they are getting fatter or that they have suddenly got a pouch or beer belly. Well the reason is that they drink alcohol. Stop drinking to lose weight. It can not get simplier than that. Then you get people saying that they can't give up the alcohol because thats the only way that they can have a social life. I tell them that it is all in their mind. You can go out with friends and not have a drink. You can drink water. I dont advise people to drink fizzy drinks or red bull either because they contain a lot of sugar that is not good for your waist line either. So why is alcohol bad for weight loss? Alcohol is a well established part of human culture. It is something that has almost become as acceptable as eating and breathing. As a social facilitator and a feel good drug choice of many its consumption is at mass levels. However alcohol has well documented effects such as diminshed performance, mental impairment, possible addiction and of course weight gain. Stop Drinking To Lose Weight. In order to lose weight, if that is your goal, you have to stop drinking period. You can not have it both ways. You cannot eat your cake and have it. Here is why: One effect of alcohol that is not widely discussed, is it's impact on body composition. In it's purest form, ethyl alcohol, which supplies seven calories per gram, alcohol provides energy, bumping up one's total energy expenditure anytime it is consumed. Unlike macronutrients, protein, carbohydrates and fats. Alcohol supplies empty calories i.e calories without nutrition. To make matters worse it is the first fuel to be used when combined with carbs, protein and fats. So postponing the fat burning process and contributing to a greater fat storage. So what that means is that when alcohol is taken in it is the first fuel to burn before carbohydrates, fats and protein. This is another reason why you should not drink and exercise because you will have to get rid of all the alcohol before you even start burning the carbs you have eaten. Then you can start talking about buring the fat in your body. At seven calories per gram, alcohol supplies almost twice as many as carbohydrates and protein. In fact alcohol has only two less grams than fat, which has a whooping nine grams of fat. It must be remembered that alcohol lacks the nutritional benefits for a healthy metabolism and will hasten weight gain Chidi Rodney Akomas is a weight loss expert who has helped scores of people just like you lose weight fast and easy.If you liked this article visit his BLOG at http://www.weightlosscontent.blogspot.com to read more articles just like this one. ------------------ ARTICLE END ------------------ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
