Do you know people who carefully choose low-fat, low-calorie meal choices, are very disciplined when it comes to resisting the Chef’s Special pecan pie for desert, yet order a glass or two of wine with their meal?
These people are undermining their efforts to boost their metabolism.
Drinking alcohol with meals actually encourages over eating, which means more calories that need to be burned away or transformed into fat. Many people are simply unaware that many alcoholic drinks are loaded with calories, almost as much as sugary soft drinks.
A bottle of beer or a cocktail is a few hundred calories. Even though wine has less, it still adds to your calorie count. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not suggesting that you stop drinking alcohol altogether; because on the weekends, I indulge from time to time as well to a couple of glasses of wine with dinner. However, just be aware that it's adding to your calorie intake and whatever calories you take in, you must burn them off to maintain your fit physique.
Live Fit Live Strong!
