Alcohol and Weight Gain

It’s that time of the year again where there’s endless parties and celebration. And of course, alcohol. Before you decide on sipping on your wine glass or taking another shot, think about the consequences and how you’ll feel the next day. I’m not just talking about the horrible headache or the messy hair, I’m talking about the guilt. Now, I’m not trying to say don’t have fun because there’s always those days that we just need to let loose and forget about the calories. Just remember to keep it in the back of your head on what you intake and how it’ll end up affecting you. 

The Facts: 

• One gram of alcohol is 7 calories whereas one gram of carbohydrates and protein is 4 and one gram of fat is 9. 
• Excess calories unused by the body will turn into fat
• Unlike carbohydrates, protein and fat, alcohol doesn’t burn any calories for your body to digest because it’s so easily absorbed by your bloodstream. 
• Alcohol will drop your blood sugar making you crave carbs
• Once alcohol is ingest, your body will stop metabolizing fat to metabolize alcohol.

Tips:

• Eat a healthy meal before you go out to keep you full
• Grab a healthy snack
• Avoid the heavy sugar drinks (eggnog, margaritas)
• Drink water between alcohol beverages to keep your consumption of alcohol down
• Best drinks to order: Vodka & soda, light beer, red wine, gin & tonic

Morning ppl ! Roll out if bed, time to hit the gym!
