Best alcohol to drink during weight loss

[Kirsty K]

This is my second post to this forum.

The first post asked the best way to reduce my waist line. This post is about the best alcoholic drink to have to support this weight loss.

I don't a lot - maybe 10 units a week. But I'd rather drink something with less calories - I'd hate to think that all my hard work in the gym is going out the window when I have a glass of wine or two.

Hi Kirsty

As a rule all alcohol is refined carbohydrates which cause a peak insulin rush, not to mention leaky gut syndrome when drank without food. my advice is not to drink alcohol on its own, have a food that has a higher fat and protein content to help metabolise the alcohol and a slower rate. In reality we all metabolise food at different rates and there is never a rule that works for a group of people.

If you are really serious about losing weight try cutting alcohol out for 6-8 weeks. Cutting calories will never work in the long run because when you restrict calories you produce fat storing enzymes. the key is to eat a balanced type diet that is individual for you and you may need to do some further work to find that out.

Cheers
