Anonymous asked: with what zero calories stuff do you mix your vodka? i don't wanna use diet coke since theres a lot of crap inside...



I use diet sodas and diet energy drinks, I figure alcohol is bad enough for you haha. With limoncello I like pellegrino, and with gin I like tonic and lime. You can mix vodka and water, vodka and 0 cal vanilla syrup (I like Torani brand), or vodka with stevia, lemon, and water.

Also straight shots and sucking on a lime or lemon… Or chasing with Gatorade or flavored water or something. Hope these ideas help!

What are the effects of alcohol consumption on fat loss? One of the breakdown products of ethanol is acetate. Overview of ethanol metabolism Presence of acetate in plasma reduces plasma level of free fatty acids 70-90%. By reducing FFA you are in essence reducing the availability of fat to be used for energy. You will burn the glucose in the blood and the energy from the alcohol, not fat. Drinking often has been found toincrease abdominal obesity and negatively affect weight loss. This doesn’t mean all hope is lost for a healthy lifestyle and alcohol though. Most of the problems occur when alcohol is consumed alongside unhealthy foods. (Where your body would normally metabolize the foods, the alcohol takes precedence and the foods essentially go to body fat). A good article and collection of sources on the matter can be found here.
