You have to remember that all T2's are not fat.
I was fourteen stone and just six foot three when I was diagnosed so nothing like fat.
I also had never been into fizzy drinks sweets chocolates crisps snacking etc.
Most of my life two meals a day.
Breakfast and tea ... the one some of you wrongly call dinnerso I don't tick any of the usual boxes.
Quite a lot of us like that.
I put my T2 appearing down to taking Statins which I don't take any longer.
Whiskey lowers my bg levels a little red wine doesn't seem to do anything either way and not weighing myself very often I don't know about that bit.
I gave up beer as it really is liquid bread.
Nowt to do with the alcohol I know.
It is definitely the case that the liver tackles the alcohol in the bloodstream first, as it is the most urgent thing to deal with.
However - surely you'd have to be drinking all day every day for it to be a serious impact on fat burning.
In the study the men were given lemonade with vodka in it - there would have been sugar in the lemonade - there is no mention of it being a diet version. I'd be interested to see the same experiment with just the lemonade, without the vodka.
It can be difficult to take some experiments seriously when the method is not rigorous in its approach to the hypothesis it is testing.
You should just avoid alcohol in general tbh it is wasted calories and retains fat!
Tbh- to be honestthb ? what does it mean ?
Tbh- to be honest
I suspect - thinking about it, that the main danger of drinking is that the ability to resist temptation is reduced, so a few drinks and it might seem a really good idea to indulge in a carb heavy meal to soak up the booze.
It has been known since I was a babe in arms that alcohol causes weight gain, especially around the trunk - hence the expression beer belly. It is very calorific, whether it be beer or wine. Drinking a lot of it will make us gain weight. Drinking a glass of wine will not.
Red wine in moderation is very good for the health - it is very heart friendly and full of antioxidants. It is a recommended drink for this reason, but only a glass a day.
@Freema I can see you are from Denmark, I love it there visit Amsterdam a lot when I frequent the coffee shops the feeling I get is often like I am having a hypo always check my sugar and it usually fine! And it's a lot safer than alcohol!
