When it comes to processing or detoxifying, your liver prioritises alcohol over other calories. In short, it's not just calories in, calories out with alcohol - it actually sabotages weight loss by preventing your body from burning fat. Alcohol consumption also affects your body's signals for hunger and satiation - anything that messes with your body's natural processes is not good for weight loss. Before I start sounding like a medical journal... I had to give up alcohol earlier this year because I was experiencing an auto-immune-like response to even 1 glass of decent red wine. Since then, my weight has stabilised and I'm well on my way to reaching my goal by the end of the year. Yes, we all love a glass of wine or a whiskey on the rocks, but that's just social conditioning. If you value your health, you'd stay far away from booze. Look up the Andrew Huberman podcast on YouTube and what he says about alcohol. It's not what anyone wants to hear, but alcohol and weight loss (or health in general) don't go hand in hand.  

He's also on Spotify. 😉 Huberman Lab.  

Thanks for the info! Yes we don't want to hear that but it makes sense! I think it's better not to even have it in my house. Maybe just a little on weekends when we go out. Thanks so much.
