This is not an alarmist. A night of indulgence may really cost all your efforts in the gym, especially for friends who are losing weight.
According to the research report released by YouGov, an international online business research institution, the diet of 2042 British people after drinking alcohol was investigated. It was found that respondents would consume an extra 4305 calories when drinking too much.
Indulge for one night = marathon?
According to the research report, 4305 calories is equivalent to 1.23 pounds of fat, which is equivalent to the energy consumed by a normal person running a marathon! How to get this result? According to the survey, on the night of drinking, the respondents consumed an average of 1.476 calories from alcohol and ate food equivalent to 2829 calories, most of which were fried food or high-fat food.
Especially when drinking in full swing, you will definitely forget all the dietary principles you usually adhere to. You will have an unlimited appetite if you catch anything! Is it really amazing that beer goes with mutton kebabs?
Alcohol is actually worse than fat!
In fact, from the point of view of calories, alcohol is not too deadly. The problem with alcohol is that its calories are very high, 7 calories per gram, which is 9 calories less than 1 gram of fat. This is more calories than a gram of protein or carbohydrate, and a gram of protein or carbohydrate contains only 4 calories.
But the reason why alcohol is worse than fat is that once alcohol enters blood vessels, the body will give priority to alcohol as the energy source, while other heat sources, such as carbohydrates, will be converted into fat and stored in the body. At the same time, alcohol will slow down the metabolic rate, thus further reducing the efficiency of burning fat.
Worst of all, when it comes to drinking, many people can't help it! Anyway, for various reasons, sometimes it is difficult to quit as long as you are drunk. Even if you only drank one cup at that time, alcohol will make you irresistible, because with the first cup, there will be a second cup, and there will be a third cup ..... The atmosphere is coming, and you can still drink until dawn?
Secondly, alcohol can affect hormones related to satiety or satiety. For example, alcohol may inhibit the effects of leptin (a hormone that inhibits appetite) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (a hormone that inhibits food intake). In addition, some studies show that alcohol may stimulate nerve cells in the hypothalamus, thus increasing appetite. Therefore, you will unconsciously eat more and more.
Worst of all, alcohol will affect your physical condition the next day, greatly reducing your physical strength and mobility, making it impossible for you to train effectively and consume the extra calories you consume because of drinking.
Drink for a while! Drink soft!
Drinking for a long time, drinking has been good? Obviously not. Alcoholism will do unnecessary harm to our health, and after drinking alcohol, our bodies will enter the so-called hangover period, during which our health will definitely be bad, just like taking a soft sleeper rest, and there is no exercise at all! Therefore, it is better to drink less when exercising.
Regardless of losing weight or gaining muscle, Brother Han does not encourage all muscle friends to drink. If you can't help it on some occasions, drink less. After all, good health is better than anything else.
