Often
people who want an alcoholic drink are simply craving sugar. A
defect in a person's ability to utilize sugar can lead to alcoholism
since most alcoholics are hypoglycemic. Alcoholics keep the
craving for alcohol alive with binges of foods that contain their
favorite substances (potatoes for the vodka drinker, hops, barley or
yeast for the beer drinker, grapes or yeast for the wine drinker.
(Yeast means breads, rolls, etc.) Coffee, sugar and cigarettes
also keep the cravings going. All cigarettes are manufactured with
sugar. Those manufacturers know that sugar will amplify the
craving for cigarettes.
I
have found that for many people one glass of wine or beer isn't quite
enough. Two is better, which often occasions splitting a bottle of
wine between two people.
Very
simply, alcohol actually produces more sugar in the blood than eating
actual sugar. Since we are removing sugar in the Forever Slender
Program, it makes sense to remove alcohol as well. Alcohol will
absolutely stop the weight loss process. It takes three days
for alcohol to go out of the bloodstream, so your weight loss efforts
are delayed for three days.
A person may rationalize their desire for alcohol and not really believe
it will affect their weight loss, but in fact it truly will. If
you are having a hard time dropping weight, look at your alcohol
consumption. It doesn't require much to stop the weight-loss
process.
