Yazar: admin March 18, 2010I am going on vacation for my anniversary and I do want to drink some.
Calories come from 4 sources - protein, carbs, fats AND alcohol.
The body absorbs first Alcohol and then carbs & they are processed almost instantaneously. Protein & fat has to be processed by the body.
According to my calculations a 12 oz Michelob Ultra is equal to 21 grams of carbs (adding the alcohol plus carbs) There is no protein or fat worth counting & 7 calories to an ounce - that’s 84 calories to a 12oz can. That would be equal to 84/4 = 21 grams of carbs. Two would be equal to 42 grams of carbs.
Alcohol in moderation is allowed after 7 weeks in the program, but it will probably stop weight loss.
Low carb depletes glycogen stores and is a natural diuretic. Please be warned, after you have depleted your body of glycogen & the water it holds, it will take a long while for your body to be able to find another way to hold onto water & not be dehydrated.
So in this state of dehydration, your body has little tolerance to alcohol & will get hit 4x harder by the effect of the alcohol. Please, please be careful. Make sure you eat well prior & drink lots of water.
that’s what i drank when i was on atkins. i still lost 60 pounds. go for it. one or two should be fine.
