It's
a fun time of year. And it's great to celebrate with friends. It's the season of office
parties, family get togethers and all those other drinking parties that make up
the stretch between Thanksgiving and New Year's Eve.
Did you know that even moderate
alcohol consumption can seriously increase your fat storage and make it harder
to lose weight?
And did you know that even after just
a few drinks, your body's ability to burn fat can be totally shut down?
Did you know that one of your main fat
loss hormones can actually becompletely
suppressed by
drinking booze?
But
don't worry if you enjoy a cocktail, a beer or a glass of wine now and then.
The news isn't all bad.
In
this very short article you'll discover 3
simple strategies for enjoying Happy Hour without sacrificing
your weight loss goals.
in
an ideal world, if you want to have a magazine-cover body you'll probably have
to give up the booze.But for the rest of us, completely giving up social
drinking is just a fantasy. And as you'll soon discover, you can enjoy a few
drinks, avoid becoming a social outcast AND have a hot body by following 3
simple strategies.
These 3 strategies reveal the
things you absolutely MUST AVOID if you want to keep losing fat without giving up your social life or
your favourite drinks
Just follow these 3 simple strategies
and you'll discover which foods NEVER to eat with alcohol, what the worst drink is for weight gain, and which
mixed drinks will go straight to your belly fat.
1 # ELIMINATE fatty foods
Food and drink are a natural match.
But there's one food you must definitely avoid if your goal is to lose weight.
You see, alcohol has the unfortunate
effect of shutting down your body's ability to oxidize fatty acids. In other
words, it prevents you from using fat for fuel. So when you pound back a greasy
cheeseburger with your favorite drink, your body can't use the fat you're
eating. It gets stored in your fat cells instead!
But you can avoid piling on ugly body
fat every time you have a few drinks just by sticking to lean protein and
veggies. Order a steak and a side salad instead of a cheeseburger and you'll
wake up the next morning as lean as you are were when you took your first sip.
2# AVOID Sugary Mixed Drinks
You've probably heard of insulin. It's
your body's "storage" hormone. And with the right nutrition timing,
insulin can actually accelerate your fat loss by helping you maintain and build
metabolically active lean muscle.
But Happy Hour is NOT the right time
to spike your insulin, which is exactly what happens when you pound down a
sugary Margarita or a sweet Rum Punch. In this case, your insulin spike is
going to drive all those calories straight onto your love handles.
Don't add fat to your midsection while
enjoying yourself with friends. Skip the sugary mixed drinks and sip a glass of
red wine or a Scotch on the rocks instead.
One of the big reasons I recommend
drinks like this is that you won't be as likely to pound them back. These are
drinks that demand to be sipped. But I also like them because of some other
potential health benefits.
Research published in the European
Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that both Scotch whisky and red wine help
to protect against coronary heart disease by raising the body's level of
anti-oxidants.
3# BANISH This Popular Beverage
OK, I'm going to talk about one other
important hormone for fat loss. This one is responsible for causing excessive
lower body fat in women, and chest or belly fat in men.
You've probably already guessed that
I'm talking about estrogen. But did you know a certain alcoholic drink actually
contains something called "phytoestrogens" that mimic estrogen in
your body?
High amounts of phytoestrogens are bad
because they can lead to ugly and stubborn fat storage in some pretty
embarrassing places...
Unfortunately, the offender is a drink
that pretty near everyone loves — beer.
Now don't worry, I don't expect you to
give up beer. But I will recommend that you limit yourself to one or two beers
on each social occasion. And stick with my previous recommendations of wine or
Scotch for the rest of the time.
You might also want to try darker
beers instead. They usually take a little longer to drink, and they're full of
beneficial anti-oxidants. For the rest of the habits I use to avoid
alcohol-related weight gain
