Ep. 139 - Alcohol and Fat-Loss

Most people think alcohol affects fat loss because of the calories in the drink.But that’s only part of the story.Alcohol contains 7 calories per gram and, because your body treats it as a toxin, metabolizing it becomes the immediate priority. While that happens, fat burning slows and the metabolism of other nutrients takes a back seat.Then there are the secondary effects: disrupted sleep, poorer training recovery, increased appetite, and the lowered inhibition that turns one drink into appetizers, dessert, and late-night food.In this episode, Joey explains what happens inside your body when you drink, why alcohol’s real impact extends beyond its calorie count, and how to include it intentionally without pretending it has no effect on your goals.Alcohol doesn’t make fat loss impossible.It makes the behaviors required for fat loss harder to execute.Book a Call w/ Joey:https://www.alignedstrengthandnutrition.com/book-a-call
