Did you know? 🧐

Let’s talk about drinking alcohol and losing body fat. I feel like we get this question often, especially around holidays or when the temps get warmer, and all of the summer get-togethers start to kick off.

You want to know… “I’m following an 80/20 lifestyle, I’m following my chosen healthy lifestyle habits, can I drink alcohol?”

The answer is yes…and no. 😅
It really depends on your goals.

I like a nice glass of wine as much as anyone, or a cold drink on a hot summer day, whatever it is…but…if your goal is to lose body fat…drinking alcohol is going to slow the process. (Knowledge is power 😉)

So, I’m gonna give you a quick little science lesson here to explain why that is. 👩🏻‍🔬 Once you understand the concept of what happens to the alcohol once it gets inside your body, you’ll understand why drinking probably isn’t the best option while on your fat loss journey.

So let’s start from the beginning. To lose fat, you must ‘burn’ more energy than you consume through your food. 🔥 Your body (your liver) burns three things as fuel. You burn carbohydrates, fat, and protein. First you burn carbohydrates that are in your blood and are ready to go from the food that you eat. Next you move into the fat stores. That’s what we all want, we want to burn body fat, right?! (can I get an amen?!)🙋🏻‍♀️

So that’s kind of a simplified explanation of the progression that happens with the fuel that is in your body.

🚨The thing is, when you consume alcohol, your liver stops what it is doing and becomes focused on metabolizing all the alcohol and its by-products. It not only stops fat metabolism in the liver, studies have shown that it actually causes your liver to make more fat and cholesterol. During this process, your liver converts the alcohol to what is called acetate.

So, you’ve had some alcohol and now you have this acetate in your body. Acetate works as a fuel source and when there is acetate in your body, that gets used FIRST. This means (to keep it simple) you must first burn-off all of the alcohol you have consumed before you can begin burning the energy you obtained through other sources i.e. your food, and THEN you’ll burn fat.

Depending on how much you were drinking; you could have a lot of acetate built up that could take DAYS to burn. So, you can see how, if fatloss is your main goal, drinking alcohol is going to slow that process.

There are other factors we know of that correlate with drinking alcohol such as the calories in the drinks, as well as the wealth of evidence to suggest that alcohol has significant impact on food cravings and will affect your experience of satisfaction after a meal. Alcohol may also increase your appetite and your craving of high-sugar, high-fat, energy dense foods.

💎With all of that being said, I’m not saying don’t drink. Just be aware of the choice you are making and perhaps reduce your alcohol intake if you don’t want to give it up completely.

Watermelons are deliciously thirst-quenching superfoods. They are filled with a variety of health supporting nutrients, such as vitamins A, B6 and C, lycopene, amino acids and antioxidants. For athletes and active people who want a quick and healthy way to rehydrate, watermelon juice is the way to go. Many energy drinks aren’t able to compare to the rebalancing power of watermelon juice.

Other benefits to watermelon juice include:
• Lowers inflammation
• Helps lower risk for certain types of cancer.
• Improves heart health
• Protects the eyes
• Improves digestion
• Relieves muscle soreness
• Great for skin and hair

Here’s how you can make the watermelon juice.

1. Slice the small watermelon in half and, using a big spoon, scoop up chunks of the watermelon into a blender. Discard any rind.
2. Blend the chunks of watermelon until everything has been totally pulverized. This should take around a minute of blending.
3. After blending, you can add lime to your juice for extra flavor. Squeeze the juice of one small piece of lime into the blender and blend it for a few seconds to fully mix the flavor in.
4. If your watermelon has a lot of pulp or seeds, pour it through a fine mesh strainer first. If not, feel free to pour it directly into a glass filled with ice.

Why is drinking half your body weight in ounces of WATER a day so crucial?

Here are just a few reasons!👇🏼

* Our body is 60% water and we’re constantly losing fluids (through skin evaporation, sweating, and using the restroom, just to name a few). In order to take the best care of our bodies, we need to replenish those fluids with water.

* I don’t know about you but when I drink more water I feel fuller and don’t want to eat as often. Maybe I’m just tricking my body into feeling full but I’m okay with that if I’m not always grabbing for something to eat.

* Water helps our skin look good. When we’re dehydrated our skin looks wrinkly and dry. I definitely want to have beautiful skin so that’s enough reason for me to grab some water.

* Drinking water rids our body of toxins that our kidney is working so hard to clean out. (A great indication of whether or not you’re drinking enough water is to check the color of your urine. It should be clear.) Do your kidney a favor and grab a glass of water...💦
