Why You Should Avoid Alcohol to Lose Body Fat
Alcohol has the second highest calorie density, with 7 calories per gram. Fat takes first place with a calorie density of 9 calories per gram.
When your body needs fuel, fat is usually the last choice, while alcohol is the first choice. Therefore, the more alcohol you drink, the less your body will burn carbohydrates, excess protein, and fat, resulting in more storage.
Additionally, alcohol increases your appetite and food intake, making weight gain more likely.
To achieve weight loss, it is best to minimize or completely eliminate alcohol consumption.
