Are you considering Dry January? If so, you’re not alone. Many people choose to give up drinking for the month for a variety of reasons, including resetting after the holidays, trying to improve their health, or taking a break from drinking. While alcohol can be fun, it’s not particularly helpful if you’re trying to lose weight. Here’s why:
1. It supplies almost 2x as many calories as protein and carbs.
2. It loosens inhibitions, which can lead to overeating.
3. It lowers test levels, and as a result lowers metabolism.
4. It increases appetite.
If you’re trying to lose bodyfat, you need to minimize your alcohol intake. But you need to be prepared! This means having a game plan for how you will stay motivated, how you will cope with social situations, and what you will do to occupy your time without drinking. This is a tiny (optional) part of our upcoming 20 in 6 Challenge. Reply to this email with the word “CHALLENGE” and I’ll shoot you more info and answer any questions you may have!
Happy New Year, here’s to crushing your fitness goals in 2023 –
