If i booze will i lose

[dazza89]

Hey guys my question is after all the dedicated training throughout the month and the strict diet, if i was to go out on the weekend for a few drinks with my mates will that effect my gains ?

your body will have to filter out the poisons insted of prosesing aminos, your liver will work overtime. my opinion is if you are taking this serious dont drink.

Drinking is like everything else, there are decent choices and not so good choices. The big problem with alcohol is it inevitably leads to poor eating as well.

If your going to drink, keep it to a minimum and don't order the nachos and dip after a few drinks

^ This.

OP you should google "alcohol protein synthesis" You can find articles that talk about how protein synthesis is very heavily decreased when even small amounts of alcohol are present.

no protein synthesis = no new muscles

With that said, it's your life. You're the one who needs to enjoy it. Drinking on cycle isn't going to eliminate all your possible gains, but anyone who tries to tell you it wouldn't negatively effect them in any way is lying.

I agree with the above post, IMO when it comes to drinking be smart on the choices of alcohol, and keep in mind the nutrional facts, and remember MODERATION IS KEY !

 

[CHIP WADOWSKI]

First and foremost, alcohol is a poison and your body must fight to get it out of your system. It directly impairs liver function thus severely hampering your metabolism of fat. If fat loss is your main goal moderation is a key.
When your liver is processing alcohol it will stop all other metabolic functions. It will do so until it rids your body of ethanol toxicity which is the by product of alcoholic consumption. This process leads many times to stubborn fat, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and syndrome X.

Drinking in excess will also contribute to fat gain not loss. If you think you are going to gain muscle mass while drinking think again! Your liver is too busy doing something it does not want to do, process alcohol instead of amino acids. In addition, alcohol reduces testosterone.

Think about how much you consume and the caloric value of each drink. Alcohol contains 7 calories per gram. This is almost twice that of carbohydrates and protein and just under the 9 grams per calorie for fat. Here is an example: consuming 2-3 drinks a day can add up to over 400 calories extra each and every day. Multiply that by one week and you are over 2700 calories extra. That is over a half a pound.

According to studies drinking alcohol increases visceral adipose tissue. This is the fat around your body organs. NOT HEALTHY! Other studies suggest alcohol consumption increases and stimulates appetite.

Consuming alcohol again stops all fat burning, adds extra calories, increases estrogen level (stubborn fat), increases appetite and makes you more easily persuaded to eat that entire cheese cake.

There are some simple guidelines you can follow that will not only help you stay on the fat burning path, but will encourage better overall health.

Drinking red wine is much better for you then drinking beer. Red wine contains some good things that can benefit your health. On the other hand consuming beer, which contains hops and are highly estrogenic, will lead to more fat gain and harder fat loss.

Try to stay away from extra sweet drinks with added sugars. This will keep your blood sugar from a massive spike while having a drink.
The more food you have in your belly the slower the absorption. It also aids in insulin regulation. Avoid high carbohydrates snack with alcohol. It carries many metabolic problems like insulin elevation and high fat levels in your blood stream.

Below is a list of good to bad:

Alcohol
1. Red wine - Best
2. White wine
3. Champagne
4. Vodka
5. Gin
6. Rum
7. Whiskey
8. Cognac
9. Sweet wines
10. Sweet mixed drinks
11. Liqueurs
12. BEER! Worst

Some common problems with alcohol consumption are:

Reduced testosterone
Increased estrogen
Increased hydration
Inability to absorb vital nutrients
In summary, I would suggest eating an anti-estrogenic, well- balanced diet and minimize alcohol consumption until you reach your fat loss goals. This will also aid in your quest for a set of six pack abs.

ALL HAIL MAXIMUS!!!!!!

I don't get some people: you want to be healthy and look good, but drink beer. Why the heck beer?
Sorry, now I see you're from England, but I still can't comprehend what do you find in beer.
Anyway sport & beer don't mix at all.
Wait a sec...beer doesn't mix with anything, not even with sex. So, don't drink it. A glass of red wine is better.

P.S. This wasn't posted to offend you, but to open your mind.

 

[Welter]

Yea some choices are just bad. About the only thing worse than beer are mixed fruit drinks. I would not drink at all if on cycle. Your liver is under enough stress no need to intentionally try fucking with it.

Good Post Chip,
I think if you are going to really be committed & dedicated why interfere with your progress by drinking, but some people will do it anyway.. So if you do do it in moderation & choose wisely!
