The least harmful alcoholic beverage can be called dry wine, but if you want to lose weight, it is better to refuse to drink, and Ruslan Isa, the leader of the narcologist, doctor's psychiatric and narciological clinic, told Gazeta.ru.
"First of all, alcohol is" empty "calories. Unlike proteins, fats and carbohydrates, ethanol does not contain nutrients needed for the body, but has a high energy value, 1 gramal to 7 kcal. For example, a glass of dry wine contains about 120-150 kcal, and cocktails are "less harmful" options such as dry wine or pure strong alcohol without sugar, their use does not benefit the body, "said the specialist.
However, beer, despite its low calorie, is not safe for your body. 100 ml of classic light beer contains only 40-50 kcal, which is significantly less than wine or stiff alcohol.
"However, this fact creates a deceptive feeling of harmlessness. Hardly anyone drinks 100 g of beer. The usual bottle (0.5 l) contains 200-250 kcal, and the two cups are the calorie of the full food. Moreover without any nutritional value, because beer does not practically contain fats or proteins.
In addition, alcohol brakes decay of fat, and carbohydrates in beer and other alcoholic beverages quickly increase blood glucose level quickly. This causes insulin sharp excretion, which contributes to the accumulation of fat, especially in the abdomen. In addition, alcohol increases appetite.
"Alcohol also directly affects the mechanisms of settlement of appetite. Research shows that even small doses of alcohol reduce the level of leptin, a hormone responsible for the saturation of saturation, and at the same time raises the level of writing, hormone stimulating hunger. As a result, alcohol user often eats too much, "said the doctor.
Thus, if we consider alcohol from the point of view of dieting, it is clear that its use not only does not contribute to the decline of weight, but also can cause the opposite effect. If the main goal is to control weight control and health, it is more logical to completely refuse alcohol.
