Alcohol And Weight Loss
33 Answers
First time on this thread. I have decided to give my liver a 6 week rest as I have read that in that time it regenerates itself. Just completed the first week. Prior to this I was consuming approximately a bottle of 9% wine a day. Result so far. 3lbs weight loss. 1 inch off my waist. £28 saved!

I stand corrected and am off to buy a cream horn.

I'm not convinced about alcohol being that fattening. Last year I started a calorie control diet, I worked out the calories according to my weight/height etc so that I would lose an average of 1-2 pounds per week. Whilst I kept to my food calorie intake to the recommended level, I carried on drinking my usual 6 pints a night and not counting them as part of my diet. Result? I still lost 1-2 pounds per week and reached my weight loss target of 2 stone.
Great to hear that grasscarp. I gave up alcohol in march and went from a size 18 to a size 12, i also gave up all the unhealthy crap (Crisps, chocolates, cakes and fast food) and stopped eating carbs after six and didn't exercise to aggressively and i love the new me! I've save sooo much money and feel healthier and more vibrant and will start exercising properly to get to a fit firm size 10 before next summer. I've had one or two relapses and have given myself alcohol rewards as in i can drink on new years, christmas and some birthdays but not every special occasion as if i did i'd be back to square one so if two functions are coming up i choose one i'll drink at and the other i'll stay sober and it's working fantastic.
Good luck with your goals and as you can see it works! xxx

Also another tip i have is i bought a size 10 bikini when i was sized 16 and had it hanging next to my mirror and i was determined to fit into it by summer 2014 and i also got the most unflattering piggy picture of me (Which funnily enough was me sitting at a table surrounded by drink and stuffing my face with a kebab) had it blown up and it's on my fridge to remind me how i don't want to look like anymore.
