How alcohol impacts your weight loss
What impact does alcohol consumption have on your diet?
Alcohol contains unwanted calories and carbohydrates with little or no nutritional benefit.
Alcohol consumption can also cause you to transition out of nutritional ketosis, which can inhibit weight loss and subsequent fat burning for at least 72 hours.
When people drink, they also tend to nibble on fatty foods such as cheese, crackers or chocolate. Alcohol consumption can also interrupt sleep and exercise patterns, further contributing to poor weight loss outcomes.

Alcohol Alternatives
We all know that you just need a refreshing beverage while at social events or to wind down. Instead of reaching for alcohol, try a flavoured sparkling water or one of our mocktail recipes below.
Weighing in
It’s been a week since your weigh-in at the start of the Challenge. Now it’s time to check in with your scales again. Be sure to do this at the same time of day as before, wearing similar weight clothes.
Don’t be concerned if you don’t see huge results at this point - in fact, this is perfectly normal, and means you’re progressing at a healthy and sustainable pace.
Hopefully, you’ve resisted the urge to weigh yourself during the week - day-to-day fluctuations are very normal, but can feel discouraging. It’s in your weekly weigh-ins that you’ll really see results over time.
