It's the 2 things that let us down, the 2 things we worry about day in and day out (apart from going bold) and the 2 things we really don't do enough to prevent.
There is nothing better on a hot sunny day to get into the shade, open a cool beer and chill out and we all know it's impossible to go out without drinking to enjoy ourselves, right?
Well your wrong!
If you can crack that first phase off not drinking your onto a winner!
Let me explain it too you bluntly
We call them "Empty Calories" as they are exactly that.
Beer is an alcoholic beverage made from malted cereal grains, hops, and brewed by fermentation. The average beer can range from 140 to 200 calories for every 12 oz (350ml).
Lets put this into perspective. It takes 20 minuets to burn 150 calories on a treadmill running at a moderate pace or you can ride a horse for 52 minuets. You can walk around the shops for 53 minuets, chase your kids around for 33 minuets in the park or you can dance it off at the club you just spent 9€ a drink for in 24 Minuets.
Remember, this is just 1, your have to think about the possible 7 or 8 you will consume during the night, plus those occasional 207 Calorie Vodka shots and not forgetting that up to 2000 (that's 2000) Calorie Doner Kebab you have to mop it all up with.
I can see the look in your faces! :(
This night has not only cost you money but around 4000 calories.
I can guarantee in my Kickboxing class you will burn around 900-1000 calories, but this is an intense 2 hr session where the pace doesn't slow down fro the get go!!! Wii sports will help you for another 2hrs You can hit the Cross Trainer at FULL SPEED for an hour, there's another 1000, just 2000 more to go.
Shall I continue??
Effects of booze on your body.
Ethanol alcohol is metabolized by enzymes in the liver, with a small amount of the alcohol converted to fat. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the liver can only metabolize so much alcohol at a time, so the remainder of the alcohol is released into the bloodstream, where it replaces fat as a source of energy. Therefore, the body uses energy to metabolize the alcohol instead of fat, it will slow down the metabolism of fat in the body, and increasing risk of fat storage in the body's tissues.
There's more!
When you drink it passes into your stomach, from here 20% is immediately absorbed into your blood stream. The remainder passes into your intestines to be absorbed from there.
When it's in your blood its shoots off to your liver to be broken down where it starts to hinder any fat burning process. Your 2 hour workout is now wasted as much as you are!!
The liver breaks alcohol into various chemicals. One is Acetyl CoA http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-acetyl-coa.htm which actually makes the body store fat.
Now imagine if you decide to have a Whisky and Coke, all that sugar starts that blood sugar spike, and again your going to need to get that out of your blood into your liver damn quick. Your poor Liver can cope and starts to store everything it possibly can. Continue like this and your going to need a a serious health check up!
If you want to get lean you have to start choosing the right time to drink what to drink and if you can, NOT AT ALL.
If you have to, drink wine, hard liquor (without a mixer) and light beer and limit your intake to 1-2 days a week with a maximum of 2 drinks per time.
Guys that like beer drink non alcoholic! There is only 10 Calories in every 100ml and it tastes like the real thing! It does actually contain 0.01%
You can drink it from a glass and hide the bottle and act stupid and no-one will know any difference!☆
Are you an alcoholic?
For most adults, moderate alcohol use is not harmful however Alcoholism is a disease with four main features:
- Craving - a strong need to drink
- Loss of control - not being able to stop drinking once you've begun
- Physical dependence – withdrawal symptoms, such as nausea, sweating or shakiness after stopping drinking
- Tolerance - the need to drink greater amounts of alcohol in order to get “high”
