Reduce Alcohol For Faster Weight LossAlcohol can defeat your weight-loss plan in two key ways. One, alcohol stimulates the appetite - not the best idea when your goal is to lose weight. In addition, alcoholic beverages, and especially mixed drinks, are high in sugar and thus, high in calories. (Alcohol has 7 calories per gram, compared with 4 calories for carbs and protein.) Again, not ideal for weight loss. A better weight loss approach is to drink herbal teas or pure water. Also avoid non-alcoholic beverages that can be high in sugar - including most fruit drinks, sweetened teas and most flavored waters. Even sparkling water and carbonated beverages should be curtailed in number since they tend to have high-sodium counts, which can cause fluid retention. Retained fluids show up as pounds, which can affect your motivation to lose weight. Weight Loss AdviceTemporary changes to your diet and exercise habits cause temporary weight loss which is typically regained after a short period. To lose weight permanently, you need to make permanent changes to your diet and fitness routines. This is why realistic weight loss goals work best - because realistic weight loss targets are easier to achieve. Return to Weight Loss Diet Issues |
