Hello,
I've lost 4 stone over the past 11 months, but this last month I've dropped maybe a pound. Now, I'll be honest, I drink about half to three quarters of a bottle of red wine most evenings. I do it because I'm used to it. I've been mainly low carb most of that time.
I'm feeling a bit deflated (I wish) because I thought I'd be further along my weight loss journey (I hate that word) by now. Summer is on its way, and I'm still fat.
My question is, I've been drinking the same or similar while losing the 4 stone. I'm still eating low carb. I'm still fasting for 16 hours, because I'm not hungry. So why has it stopped? I know that our livers prioritise clearing the alcohol over anything else. And I get that. But why did I consistently lose weight while continuing to drink the wine, but am now not?
I haven't gained any weight overall, which is good. But I haven't lost any either. Which is a bit disheartening.
I think I know what the answer may be. But I'd just like your thoughts.
