Eat And Drink The Same Yet Still Lose Weight! How?!

Fancy a glass of vino with your dinner tonight?

If the answer’s yes you might have “accidentally”  opened the bottle before you’ve finished cooking (more likely before you’ve even started cooking!).

Whereas food has to pass through miles and miles of digestive tubes before it is broken down and reaches the bloodstream, alcohol is absorbed straight from the stomach.  This means that the body has to divert its energy to dealing with that alcohol (transporting it around the body, trying to draw goodness from it) before processing your dinner.  Basically the alcohol stops your body absorbing lovely nutrients from healthy food.

So why not eat your dinner and half an hour later enjoy a glass of wine.  Even though you might eat the same food and drink the same amount of food, by changing the order you’ll get more nutrients down you and you might not get so drunk either!  What’s more you’ll feel bloated after fewer drinks so less useless calories too.  Everyone’s a winner (except the off licence)!
