Have you ever heard the saying: a glass of wine before going to bed, the meat will slip away. In our understanding, drinking wine makes people fat and walk, which is completely inconsistent with weight loss.
In fact, drinking wine does help to lose weight, but why do other people drink more and more thin, but they are like a barrel? The key to the problem is to be slim!
1, choose the right wine
Wine produces calories, calories come mainly from alcohol and sugar. Usually, one gram of alcohol contains 7 calories, while one gram of sugar has only 4 calories. Therefore, the alcohol content in wine has a greater impact on the body than sugar.
Of course, wine labels only tell you whether it is dry, semi-dry, semi-sweet or sweet, not the exact amount of sugar. Therefore, instead of focusing on the sugar content of a wine, you should choose a wine with a lower alcohol content. The alcohol content is clearly marked on the wine label.
For reference, a glass (150 ml) of wine with an alcohol content of 9-12? v contains about 110-140 calories, regardless of the amount of sugar.
2. Choose the quantity
We advocate moderate drinking. Generally speaking, men should drink no more than 3 standard glasses per day and women should drink no more than 2 standard glasses per day. Excessive consumption will damage the body. Only a small or moderate amount of drinking can effectively prevent the increase in body fat, and even help to lose weight.
3, choose the right time
Usually, try not to eat after 7 p.m., and do not drink or eat too late, which is good to ensure the quality of our sleep. The addition of a small amount of alcohol in red wine can aid sleep and slowly raise body temperature, so that people with slow nighttime metabolism can also participate in fat-burning metabolism.
4. Don’t eat high-calorie foods
Pure wine won’t make you grow meat, but if you can’t resist the temptation to eat and drink meat, those sacrificial chickens, ducks and fish will grow on you. In fact, even though wine contains only a small amount of carbohydrates and fat, it always contains calories! Interestingly, the calorie content of wine is different from that of food.
It comes from the conversion of ethanol to acetic acid. Our body prioritizes the consumption of calories from alcohol compared to food. Therefore, if you drink too much wine or don’t fill your stomach, your body must prioritize the alcohol metabolism triad, and food that is not metabolized can easily accumulate as fat.
Therefore, when drinking, the best food should be protein and vegetable juice. It is not only low in calories, but also can absorb fiber and accelerate the excretion of fat.
In addition to helping to lose weight, wine also has an anti-aging effect, because grape seeds, grape juice and skin are antioxidants and aging substances, they have their own beauty effects. Of course, although wine is very good, but it is also alcohol after all.
It has a certain level of alcohol concentration, so it is very important to pay attention to the amount you drink when you drink it. And for those who are not suitable for drinking, even if wine helps to lose weight, this method is destined to miss you.
