cut alcohol

Tips for the weekend and summer:

Drinking alcohol will decrease the amount of glucose and amino acids by the skeletal muscles, they affect your energy supply and impairs the metabolic process during exercises.

Alcohol is like a central nervous system depressant, it can kill the strength gains you're seeking to both lose weight and gain lean muscle.

Alcohol is calorie dense it packs 7 kcal per gram. So if you are looking lose that stubborn layer of fat that covers your midsection you should strongly consider cutting back or preferably stop drinking altogether.

Trust me it won't take long to notice the weekly or daily subtraction of hundreds and most likely thousands of calories. A beer can range from 60 to 250 calories per serving, one shot of liquor contains up to 200 calories and when you're swallowing that in a sugary fruit juice or soda, you are looking at hundreds more calories per drink.
