Well... besides the calorie content (7 cals per gram of alcohol) alcohol has some pretty crappy metabolic side effects...cheesegrater said:i know beer's bad but what about say whiskey and diet coke?
aside from any other health problems with over drinking, strictly for the cut diet, is there anything wrong with drinking liquor?
Emma-Leigh said:Well... besides the calorie content (7 cals per gram of alcohol) alcohol has some pretty crappy metabolic side effects...
It decreases fat oxidation and increases fatty acid accumulation...
It decreases glucose metabolism and impairs gluconeogenesis so you get an increase in lactic acid and a mild lactic acidosis...
It decreases protein synthesis and increases protein catabolism...
It causes dehydration (it makes you pee a lot)...
andddd.... It can also decrease testosterone levels....
....Oh... And it can make you do really stupid things... like eat 2 pizza's without thinking about it...
but other than that!
Sure - the occasional drink is fine... but you are better off limiting it if you can.
Well... Yeah.cheesegrater said:so in English.....it'll slow down fat loss?
Nothing you can do really....the next 2 weekends i'm going camping with about 40 of my closest friends then to the main august long weekend spot in W Canada to party....there'll be copious drinking. I limit it to hard liquor when on a cut and try not to drink too much.......but to limit the bad side effects, is there any set time when it would be best to eat before drinking, like how many hours before, in order to somewhat negate all that jibba jabba you mentioned?
