021: Can I drink alcohol and still lose weight?

In this episode, Julia delves into the science behind weight loss, focusing on the importance of understanding caloric deficit and the role of alcohol in fat loss. She explains how alcohol can impact hunger hormones, sleep quality, and overall appetite management, providing listeners with strategies to navigate alcohol consumption while pursuing weight loss goals. The conversation emphasizes the need for mindful eating and self-awareness in making dietary choices.At its core, this episode exposes that alcohol and weight loss is about MORE than calories… yes, alcohol has a lot of calories and that can be a slippery slope but alcohol also changes how our BRAIN works (yikes!) which can make it harder to stick to our goals and make clear decisions. The punchline of this episode is that you will be empowered once you listen to this episode to make more intentional decisions - whether you drink alcohol or not :)Time stamps:00:00.
