WHY ALCOHOL STUNTS FAT LOSS

Hate to break it to ya ladies, but alcohol is most def toxic to the body [shocker]. So, when it hits your tongue, your body immediately prioritizes removing these toxins over processing any other macronutrient (carb, protein or fat) that you've consumed. When this happens, anything in your system is then STORED AS FAT! Not exactly what we want.

If you're going to drink [anything is OKAY in MODERATION!], try the below tips + tracking formula to minimize alcohol's affect on the body:

1. Refrain from drinking an hour before eating & an hour after. This allows your body to properly digest your food (and not store it as fat), before it has to go to work processing the alcohol.
   
   
2. Switch to low-sugar alcohol & mixer options, like clear liquor (vodka, light rum and tequila) & flavored sparkling waters. My FAVE: peach vodka + Simply Clear Coconut Sparkling water. Keep wine & beer to a minimum.
   
   
3. DO NOT minimize food intake to make room for alcohol calories. On days of drinking, consume ample amounts of lean protein to promote satiety. If not, you’re much more likely to binge on munchies during/after your buzz!
   ​
4. Count alcohol in your daily calorie intake, like you would any other macronutrient [without obsessively tracking]. Use the below formula to take the brain work out of it OR just keep intake in moderation.
