    Default Glamour article--Booze adds pounds

    I was just reading an article in Glamour about three women that gave up booze for 9 weeks and lost a ton of weight (around 15 lbs each without changing anything else).

    I just thought this was worth passing on..i don't drink but i know in our line of work its tempting to drink a lot which can thwart all of our diet and exercise efforts...it even ruins your skin and energy levels.

    15 lbs in 9 weeks?! I don't buy it. They must have had a VERY unhealthy lifestyle and made other changes as well. Cutting down on the booze intake helps... but not that much.

    ^^^Maybe they were post drinking binge eaters? Late night pizza and hand over food is the devil.

    Of course it depends on what they were drinking and how much. If they were heavy drinkers and drank mostly rum or other sugery drinks..15 punds in 9 weeks is toatlly possible. Esp. when you consider that alcohol makes you bloat so a lot of that was water weight

    It's entirely plausible. Without getting too much into medical terminology, alcohol prevents the breakdown of fat, especially those who are binge drinkers.

    I lost at least that much in a month or two after I stopped drinking. But I was a very heavy drinker (12+ beers or a fifth of vodka a night).

    Yea, alcohol has more calories than sugar does (if I recall correctly sugar has 4 kcal per gram whilst alcohol has 7 kcal per gram). Not to mention the sugar many drinks have in addition to alcohol. Of course the energy your body needs to burn the alcohol and get rid of it compensates for some, but it's still fattening, no way around it. 5% or less of your daily energy intake should be from alcohol. Also, alcohol does change your metabolism, adds bloating and water retention not to mention the havoc it wrecks on your body otherwise. I'll definitely buy that, double so if they went home via a pizza place!

    It is totally possible---ethanol (in alcohol) messes with your ATP energy cycles, preventing your body from properly metabolizing calories and fat from normal energy expenditure (simply put==it slows your metabolism). Also, its dehydrating which can mess up fat burning as well. So, i think that the weight loss wasnt just from the exact calorie amount in the alcohol, but also its effects on metabolism. Plus, im sure late night eating from boozing doesnt help!

    Even if you cut out regular sodas/drinks and drink only water/diet you can lose a lot of weight.

    I suppose it's possible. Some drinks have more calories than most think.

    Yeah it is sad but true if your dieting or trying to loose weight the first thing you need to ditch is alcohol, refined sugars,all that jazz.
    Sucks! I love beer but I really get a beer belly so I have to stay away.

    Whoa thats a lot!!


    I "binge" drink about twice weekly ... I wonder if I'd lose weight if I stopped drinking..Especially since it's only twice a week, and I"m already thin.

    Drink calories do pile up quickly. That's why I switched from high cal fruity drinks to straight shots of vodka when I was dancing!
