Alcohol suppresses fat burning<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Though alcohol is not directly related to fat gain, it suppresses fat burning. A gram of alcohol gives you seven empty calories.\u00a0When you drink alcohol, it reaches bloodstream and your body accords top priority to remove it. Ethanol or alcohol when metabolized is converted into acetate and acetyl-CoA which signals the body not to burn any fat or sugar.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Alcohol_increases_your_calorie_intake\"><\/span><strong>2. \u00a0Alcohol increases your calorie intake<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Appetizers, high calorie snacks go with drinks. Moreover, alcohol tends to lower your restrictions with reference to food intake. Hence, you tend to eat more when drinking than when you\u2019re sober. A study examining how alcohol affects caloric intake found that subjects who drank wine with their lunch consumed an additional 200 calories and did not compensate for those calories by cutting back at dinner. Additionally, extra calories from alcohol count.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: circle;\">\n<li>12 ounces (355ml) of beer = ~150 calories<\/li>\n<li>5 ounces (147ml) of wine = ~100 calories<\/li>\n<li>1.5-ounces (45ml) of distilled spirits = ~100 calorie<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Alcohol increases level of dopamine in your blood. The hormone dopamine is linked to desire and reward and raises adrenaline and lowers melatonin. Lower levels\u00a0of melatonin interfere\u00a0with sleep, which in turn can increase hunger and cravings. Consequently, your food intake goes up.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Alcohol_disrupts_protein_synthesis\"><\/span><strong>3. Alcohol disrupts protein synthesis<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you train with heavy weights, your muscles experience stress, as a result there are small micro tears in the muscle fiber. Protein synthesis repairs those micro tears and allows your muscles to grow stronger and bulkier. Drinking alcohol hinders the process of protein synthesis, reported a study in American Journal of Physiology, Endocrinology and Metabolism, in 1999.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<div class=\"hk-content-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/connect.healthkart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/22222222222222222_0-1024x886.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Alcohol_and_your_testosterone_levels\"><\/span><strong>4. Alcohol and your testosterone levels<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Testosterone, the essential male hormone, allows muscles to grow and repair.\u00a0Alcohol&#8217;s impact on testosterone\u00a0is that it\u00a0triggers multiple chemical processes in your bloodstream\u00a0that diminishes the amount of testosterone you have. A 2009 study published in\u00a0Bone found that frequent drinkers had significantly low testosterone levels, as well as high estrogen levels. This is important because estrogen lowers the <a style=\"color: #25ade3!important;\" href=\"https:\/\/connect.healthkart.com\/top-10-ways-to-boost-testosterone-naturally\/bid-4366\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000cd;\">amount of testosterone released in the body<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_this_imply_you_cant_build_muscles_and_enjoy_your_drink_too\"><\/span><strong>Does this imply you can\u2019t build muscles and enjoy your drink too?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Well, you can enjoy your drink and grow bigger and stronger too.

Since alcohol is a diuretic, you should have water in-between drinks to stay hydrated.<\/li>\n<li>Do not drink on the day you train. A research published in 2001 in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism found that meals consumed within 24-48 hours post resistance training were critical for muscle growth. Naturally, this excludes drinking alcohol on the days you are training.<\/li>\n<li>Excess\u00a0alcohol affects\u00a0muscle growth.

Most importantly, there are adverse effects of alcohol after a workout, so avoid drinking if possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eating clean is easier for many muscle building folks.
