Calories alcohol

Many dieters do not correctly count the calories alcohol contains. Surprising a few alcoholic drinks can cause extensive damage to a diet plan as the calories alcohol holds can be more than expected as well as being not the best type pf calories so far as dieters are concerned. The calories alcohol contains a re high sugar and dense calories second only to fat based calories.

Also the type of calories in alcohol are earmarked for storage as fat by the body rather than being first and foremost as fuel. This means the calories alcohol contains are not ideal if you are looking to lose weight as the excess calories will be stored as fat until any other fat stores the body holds are used up.

Did you know a glass of wine has the same calories (approximately 120 calories) as a slice of cake? Or perhaps that alcohol calories in a pint of lager and a small sausage roll both have approximately 170 calories each? Regular drink of more than recommended daily alcohol limits can have n adverse effect on health as we all know but all those extra calories alcohol provides can also contribute to an expanding waistline.

An additional danger with drinking is that after a few pints or glasses of wine many drinkers get the munchies or their good intentions for weight loss go out the window. So as well as the calories alcohol drinkers consume which help to pile on the pounds, it also lowers resistance levels and so you are also more likely to eat satisfying fatty foods when you have had a few too many.
