Watch what you drink

You could eat a perfect diet and exercise until your face turns blue and still have a difficult time losing fat if you’re not careful with your alcohol consumption.

Did you know that alcohol has 7 calories per gram, almost as much as fat (9 calories per gram), and almost twice as many calories as a gram of carbohydrate or protein (4 calories each per gram). So even just a couple of drinks can set you back 300 - 400 calories.

In addition, when you consume alcohol at the same time as food, your body tends to burn the alcohol first, before burning fat.

Suppose, for example, you cut your calories from fat down to a recommended 20 percent. That’s great. But if you consume 10 percent of your daily calories (approximately 2-3 drinks) from alcohol, it is as though your diet has 40 percent fat, proportionate to calories.

Furthermore, studies show that alcohol makes people hungrier; and at the same time, it lowers their inhibitions, so they are more likely to binge. The more you drink, the less you care about what you are eating and how it might be sabotaging your progress.

As you can see, fat loss is not nearly as easy or effective if you drink too much alcohol. This is not to say you have to cut out alcohol altogether. Alcohol, just like fat, cholesterol, salt, and sugar, may be consumed in moderation.

If you drink on a regular basis, try cutting back to one glass, or a glass every other night, or just on the weekends. Also, try a light beer with fewer calories. And when you have a cocktail, use diet soda or Crystal Lite as the mixer. you may be surprised with your weight loss result.

Weight Loss

We all have the same problem: Fat amasses very easily and it is hard to lose.

Storing fat used to be essential for survival, and fat is a great storage medium for energy. Throughout history, we have relied on our body fat to survive numerous famines and starving periods of time.

Nowadays, the ability of our bodies to store fat easily can defeat permanent weight loss. Let’s understand how fat cells work and why it is so difficult to lose weight permanently.

Existing fat cells fill up when your body takes in more energy than you spend. And it does not matter if you are eating fat or starch or sugar: All extra calories go into fat storage. When the fat cells you already hold are filled, the body develops new fat cells, a natural process with no limits.

Especially if you are stressed, building up fat cushions is often comfortable. But the most serious threat to permanent weight loss is: Existing fat cells won’t be destroyed. You can reduce the quantity of fat stored in fat cells, but you cannot reduce the amount of existing fat cells.

A Neuropeptide called Leptin is sent to your brain when fat cells are full. As long as the Leptin level in your blood is high, your brain receives the message "no need to eat". When your body’s fat cells become exhausted, the Leptin is gone - and you become hungry.

Let’s be responsible and face the truth: If you want to lose weight permanently, you’ll have to live with a light feeling of hunger most of the time. This might be a challenge for some people and you need to remember the goals you have set yourself

So, when you start planning your lifestyle changes to lose weight, keep balance in mind to keep you healthy both physically and mentally.

Weight Loss

Healthy weight loss starts with healthy thinking. If you have a large goal such as a hundred pounds to lose, you may feel overwhelmed with what you need to to do. You must think in smaller steps. Set goals for ten or fifteen pounds and celebrate when you get to those targets. Just don’t celebrate with food! Though you can lose a good amount at first, make sure you are not crash dieting. You are going to do your best right off the bat, so don’t be discouraged if it slows down. Weight loss that is good for you is going to be slow and rather steady. after all you took time to put on the weight in the first place.

Those that have just a few pounds to lose are the ones that tend to forget about healthy weight loss. They look for things that they think are going to work the fastest no matter how bad it might seem. The last five pounds are very hard, and if you are trying to fit into a dress for special occasion, the urge to bypass healthy weight loss for something quicker is very strong. Try to resist and do it right. If you have to wear something, be realistic about your size and take things slow.

What most don’t know about healthy weight loss is that this is the very best way to keep those extra pounds off months and even years later. If you crash diet, you are going to go right back to your old habits as soon as you are done, and you may gain those pounds back, plus some within a few weeks or months. If you go about a healthy weight loss program, you are going to be more likely to carry those good eating habits with you long after you are done with your diet.
