Will drinking alcohol affect muscle gain and fat loss to a certain extent? The answer to this question is yes. As we all know, wine contains alcohol, which will harm our health to some extent.
What's the relationship between drinking and fitness? That is, drinking will affect and prevent our muscle growth to a certain extent, which will hinder the burning of fat in our body. Therefore, if you want to get the best muscle gain or fat loss effect, don't drink too much, that is, try to stay away from alcohol in your life.
Generally speaking, 1 g alcohol contains about 7 calories. Then we can take others as a reference: 1g fat contains 9 calories, 1g protein and 1g carbohydrate contain the same calories, and their contents are all 4 calories.
In fact, alcohol has almost no nutritional value, and it also provides a lot of calories that we don't want.
Unfortunately, when you drink, your body seems to automatically choose to burn some alcohol in your body first, instead of our body fat. Therefore, in this case, our fat reduction situation has almost stagnated and has no effect.
Studies have shown that alcohol will burn fat after entering your body, and this time is not a few minutes or an hour or two, but as long as 12 hour. What's more, the human body is always more inclined to quietly store the calories of alcohol into your visceral fat.
Through this, we know what is often said in life? Beer belly? It is not just an empty name, but it is indeed well-founded. Of course, we have all seen the advertisements of beer, which are more or less wheat beer, so this shows that beer not only contains our terrible alcohol, but also maltose, which also produces a lot of heat.
A more important problem to explain here is that the calories stored in alcohol and their visceral fat will always be wrapped around your internal organs, which is more difficult to remove than subcutaneous fat. In the final analysis, if you want to gain muscle or lose fat, then we should try to stay away from the alcohol around us and don't drink too much.
