Alcohol

We recommend you avoid alcohol for the first 2 weeks of the program.
Abstaining from drinking is the best option for more consistent weight loss.
If avoiding alcohol is impossible, moderation is the key.

Pure alcohol itself has no carbohydrates and no glucose is produced when alcohol is broken down by the body, so fat burning is not affected. However, thebody will not burn fat whilst alcohol is in the system. Any fat eaten while there isalcohol in the body’s system will be stored as fat.

Alcohol stays in the body for several hours after it has been consumed so thefat burning process will be suspended during that time. Choose only drinks thatare low in carbohydrates. Red wine and spirits are the best as they have nocarbohydrates. Remember to add only diet soft drinks or soda water to spirits.
