hey guys today we’re gonna answer the

question how much alcohol will influence

not just your weight loss but your

ability to stay in ketosis all right so

we have ethanol pure alcohol has seven

calories per gram now a carbohydrate is

only four calories per gram and that

will block your weight loss and that

will block your ketosis but this has

more calories but ethanol does not spike

your insulin directly and we know

insulin is affected by carbohydrates and

insulin blocks weight loss we also know

that ethanol is not stored in the body

like glucose as’ so all the ethanol in

the body has to be removed from enzymes

made by your liver so if we’re just

looking at this information you may

think that it doesn’t affect your weight

loss because it’s not gonna stimulate

insulin and your body’s just gonna clean

it up and you’ll be fine but here’s the

problem

ethanol is highly oxidative which means

it creates a lot of stress in the liver

your body considers it a toxin and so

all that oxidative stress eventually

causes inflammation and eventually it

can lead to cirrhosis which is scar

tissue and a fatty liver okay and they

actually have a condition a fatty liver

condition which is caused by alcohol but

here’s the big thing ethanol blocks fat

burning it takes priority over the

metabolism of fat so if there’s alcohol

in your body your body is going to stop

burning the fat and it’s gonna focus on

this danger situation and try to get rid

of it through the use of enzymes so all

your metabolism is gonna be focused on

getting rid of that alcohol not burning

fat so depending on how much alcohol you

drink it can literally block that

burning for a day two days even three or

four days most alcohol has added

carbohydrates most people don’t just

drink pure ethanol

drink beer wine other types of alcohol

with with a lot of sugar in it now if

you research the recommendation for

drinking alcohol and all the benefits of

drinking alcohol our government will

tell you to drink two drinks per day if

you’re a man and one drink a day if

you’re a woman and they will tell you

that you will actually benefit the

cardiovascular system right now recently

there’s been a new recommendation based

on another look at some of the studies

that are already out there and they

found that the benefits from alcohol

actually are not there in fact it will

increase your risk of death and this

happens so many times with so many

different products they constantly

switched the recommendations before the

trans fats were good now they’re bad

before sugar was good now it’s bad and

now they’re telling us the alcohol is

bad well hundred to even become good in

the first place but if you’re interested

in more information I put a link down

below but you probably already know what

I’m going to talk about and that is the

influence of the alcohol industry over

government research okay now when you

see government research okay realize

that it’s not as independent as you

might think they usually partner with

someone who is helping funding the

research and they actually partner with

the actual industry that’s related to

that research the whole point of this

video is just to let people know there’s

no health benefits from ethanol so just

don’t be surprised if you don’t

experience the full benefits of ketosis

so if you’re gonna drink don’t do it

frequently don’t be surprised if it

slows down your progress do things to

make up the damage I’ll have a video on

that below you can check it out if we

compare the alcohol with the added carbs

I would consume alcohol without the

added carbs and you’d be much better

especially if you’re not going to overdo

it alright guys thanks for watching
