The Loss Effect

Here are 5 reasons that you lose all the hard earned gains by visiting the watering hole to kick off the weekend!

1. Muscle protein Synthesis is drastically reduced. There for your muscles can not utilize the protein you just consumed to properly rebuild, grow, and become stronger.

2. Reduced fat burning. Instead of your pristine digestive system working properly to use stored fat for energy, it will use the toxic mess of a nutrient that was just consumed. Putting fat loss on pause while your body removes the toxin.

3. Unhealthy meal choices.What do you see on all bar menus? Unhealthy Finger foods served with a side of grease. Drinking makes it so much easier to give into the surplus of calorie ladened options and away from your diet.

4. Contains 7 calories per gram. Other healthier carb options only contain 4 calories per gram. So even though you might not have drank much, the calorie content rises through the roof at almost double time and then goes straight to fat storage.

5. Adversely effects our sleep pattern. Alcohol might relax you just enough to put you to sleep but it makes it harder to remain asleep and doesn’t allow us to reach the REM state of sleep. When we reach this state of sleep muscle recovery and repair is largely effected.

Instead of reaching for alcohol to help yourself relax grab some water and start to reap the benefits of all your heard earned work!
