Xmas season nutrition tip

Alcohol itself, just like protein and carbs, contains approximately 4 calories per gram. So if a standard drink is 30g that's about 120 calories.
So if you're struggling to burn fat then re-think the 10 drinks you're gonna have at your xmas party, cos that'd be 1200 calories+! Not to mention the bad food choices you'll make, like pizza, kebab or chips.
Furthermore, the body treats alcohol like a poison. It wants to get rid of it straight away, so unless you throw it up your body will prioritise the alcohol and spend it's energy metabolising and burning it off first before it even worries about your body fat!!
If this comes as a shock then maybe consider how drunk you really have to get, cos your head and your hips will regret it the next day/week.
