Simple Natural Weight Loss Tip #9
My next simple natural weight loss tip is: Don’t forget the alcohol.
No, I don’t mean have a drink with every meal. What I mean is don’t forget every alcoholic drink has calories in it. It can go from a low of around 60 calories to more than 200 calories per drink, and that doesn’t include mixed drinks, which are as high as 300 calories, or more.
Some experts claim because of the way the body processes alcohol, the calories from alcohol are used first by the body, making it harder for the body to burn fat, which slows down weight loss.
Many alcoholic drinks (wine and beer, for example) also have carbohydrates, which need to be included if you are trying to limit your carbs. (As well as any mixers, such as fruit juice or sodas.)
So today’s weight loss tip is: Don’t forget the alcohol.
