🥃How Alcohol Blocks Your Fitness Progress First, alcohol directly reduces your muscle growth by lowering muscle protein synthesis [1]. Research also found that alcohol consumption slows down muscle recovery after training [2]. In terms of fat loss, alcohol contains a byproduct known as acetate, which is toxic. Acetate causes your body to temporarily block fat-burning. Next to that, alcohol contains 7 calories per gram, and these added calories do not fill you up. Even your sleep is negatively impacted if you consume alcohol and levels of the stress-hormone cortisol tend to go up [3]. At pretty much every dose of alcohol, research also shows a negative impact on your heart health [4]. For those that do incorporate a drink at times, I recommend limiting yourself to no more than 2 days per week of having alcohol. Each time alcohol is consumed, keep the alcoholic beverages below 10% of your daily calorie intake. 📚Scientific Reference (PMID): 1. 24533082 2. 22836602 3. 26634095 4. 39133491 #acv in keto diet #trimax keto gummies
