Why Alcohol Makes You Fat
I recently purchased the TNT Diet
The authors state that the liver breaking down the alcohol creates acetate and acetaldehyde as waste products, both of which tell your body to stop burning fat. Furthermore, the liver generates another waste product, acetyl CoA, which causes the body to generate fat.
Alcoholic drinks with carbohydrates are a double edged sword, because they cause a rise in insulin levels, which prompts your body to store fat.
If you are serious about losing fat, alcohol should not be a part of your diet. So far this looks like a great book, and I plan to write a review once I finish reading it.

This is so true. Most of my weight gain was from the consumption of alcohol, particularly beer. I want to lose 40 lbs this year. I’m abstaining for the time being, but will allow myself one mardi gras day if I exceed 5 lbs in a month. By then I might not want to drink as much, but either way it gives me a workable plan.
Thanks!

I nolonger drink alcohol. But unfortunately, I drink soda and eat lots of sugar. So obviously I need to work on cutting a few other things from my diet on top of the alcohol.

Very nice information. Thanks for this. By the way, did you create this layout yourself?
I quit drinking in 2006 and if anything I weigh more now than I did when I was drinking. I suppose other factors need to be taken into account too, like a changing metabolism as one ages. However I may be fatter, but I’m a lot happier than I was when I was drinking
