ALCOHOL & WEIGHT LOSS:
We know that as long as alcohol is consumed in moderation, one can enjoy it without much harm. It tends to serve as a relaxant. However, if you've been trying to shed those extra kilos, alcohol ain't an ally. Consumption of alcohol gets the body to cease burning fat & deal with processing the acetate instead. Acetate is the compound that alcohol breaks down into and is stored in the liver. The body thus starts to use this built up store of acetate for energy instead of using up body fat even if your diet is on point.The entire process of fat burning is therefore altogether stalled by 48-72 hours.
One can use a detox drink/meal, rich in B Vitamins (primarily contained in green leafy vegetables) to foster up cleansing of acetate & other toxins from the liver.

Cortisol (commonly know as the stress hormone) released by the adrenal gland, happens to be one of the most underrated reasons for gaining fat/ not being able to lose the same. Reasons are as follows-
1) Cortisol presence has an inverse effect on the presence of DHEA, a hormone which required to make other hormones, namely- testosterone, thyroid & growth hormone. The absence of these set you up for massive weight gain.
2) Cortisol also sets up the body to release sugar by breaking down muscle tissues, which if not followed up by exercise, gets stored as fat (a process called gluconeogenesis).
3) Cortisol causes Insulin resistance which again promote fat storage.

It is worth mentioning here that cortisol is not only spiked up by emotional stress but also physical stress (caused by injuries, infections, exposure to toxicity & lack of sleep).

Alot of weight loss diet programs today are merely based on a calorie counting model, not giving enough emphasis to the composition. Proteins happen to be the most vital part of the diet & should ideally comprise 30% of your calorie intake since it has a role in triggering fat burning hormones.Additionally, proteins helps prevent muscle loss which in turn helps in burning additional calories.

2) Over Training
3) Deficiency in nutrition
4) Medical conditions like hypothyroidism or diabetes.

Some fat loss myths busted by Dr. Berg. You cannot loose more than 2 pounds of fat per week(therefore 8 pounds a month). Anything more than that would mean loss of muscle or simply water weight(comprises 60% of your body weight) which is not desirable. Also, note the emphasis of cutting out on sugar along with maintaining an appropriate calorie intake. (An approximate of 1200 calories for women & 1500 for men is what is preferred for fat loss).
