#12: Does Alcohol *Really* Slow Down Weight Loss?

See this content in the original post

So, you think you have to give up alcohol completely to lose weight, right?!

This is another big misconception that I see all the time, and I am here to change that for you!

When you have this mindset, that you can’t drink ANYTHING if you’re being “good”, it can create that “all or nothing” behaviour that so many women are guilty of (including me in the past!).

So, women like this will always yo-yo because they don’t want to “ruin” their attempts to eat healthy and lose weight. This definitely leads to weight fluctuations and plateaus.

I believe that we actually CAN make room for alcohol and still lose weight.

Hell yes, I’m here to tell you that you CAN still enjoy your favourite wine, whilst on your quest to reach (and maintain) your weight loss goals.

Remember, a healthy diet is a sustainable diet. If you can’t see yourself doing it in the long term, it’s a waste of time (go back and listen to episode 4 to elaborate on this if you haven’t listened to it already!).

In this episode of Body Bites with Bec, I uncover:

  • What a safe amount of alcohol is to drink per week

  • How alcohol does affect your weight loss attempts and makes it harder to lose weight (and the reasons and science behind this)

  • How you can work with the above to fit the alcohol in to your life, so that it doesn’t affect your weight loss attempts drastically and still helps you see results

  • Alcohol swaps to keep calories and sugar low

And SO MUCH MORE.
