Alcohol is an odd little cookie, at least when it comes to fat loss …
You see, alcohol is its own macronutrient. That means alcohol has calories – 7 calories per gram, to be exact. Whenever you ingest an additional source of calories, you’re either going to slow down fat loss, or even gain weight.
Plus, alcohol is an intoxicant and reduces inhibition, making your more likely to do things you’ll regret – such as eat excessive amounts of junk food and dessert.
