Everyone knows that drinking too much is easy to get fat, but the latest research shows that the calorie of alcohol is not the only reason for obesity. Alcohol can not only reduce the body's fat burning, but also promote appetite and affect endocrine, so that you can consume less fat and lose more muscle. As a result, you can imagine that your stomach is bigger, but your muscles are less. 1. Alcohol hinders fat burning. One gram of alcohol equals 7 kilocalories. People used to think that drinking too much wine would turn into fat, but it was not. The latest research published in the American Journal of Clinical Medicine shows that only about 5% of alcohol will be converted into fat, but the body fat consumption will drop by 73% after drinking. In other words, the body stops consuming fat and uses alcohol as fuel instead. It is not difficult to see from here that people's physical adaptability is very strong. If there is more fuel, they will use it without consuming fat. 2. Alcohol stimulates appetite. Drinking and eating are often combined. Alcohol is also a substance to stimulate appetite. The same meal, if accompanied by alcoholic drinks, will often make people have an appetite. White water and carbonated drinks have far less appetizing effects. Alcohol can affect endocrine. A large amount of drinking may lead to an increase in cortisone secretion and a decrease in testosterone secretion. The direct result is that the body will consume muscles instead of synthesizing them. If you drink a lot after exercise, your muscles will break down even more. To sum up, drinking a lot will not only have a lot of calories, but also inhibit the body from consuming fat, promote appetite and reduce muscle. Advise friends who want to lose weight not to drink too much, especially after exercise. Don't drink more than 200ml of red wine and 600ml of beer at a time.
