bad to drink a couple 40's at night?

[ryankoch83]

during the day i get a good workout in watch diet, but then will kick back with my roomies and have a couple 40's at night. will this really screw up my fat loss?

[mdmadore]

Have you ever checked the label on that? Those 40's are each full of calories and carbs. Not to mention the fact that you wont feel up to your best the next day.

I would cut out the drinking or limit yourself to a treat every couple weeks.

It is going to slow down your progress. Empty cals and carbs, not to mention the effect of alcohol on your system, will definitely keep you from seeing the progress you'd see otherwise. I think you know that. But it's a tradeoff and you have to have a lifestyle you can live with. If you can live with the reality that it will slow you down some, but you're still seeing results that you're happy with, then obviously you're alright. But if you aren't getting the results you'd like, that would be the quickest and easiest thing to get rid of, easiest from strictly an objective perspective anyway. But I don't think you'd be asking if the 40s weren't very important to you.

crazy its that many calories they dont even fill me up really

Yeah it really comes down to a judgement call about how fast you want what you want. The question is kinda similar to 'is it bad to eat a few candy bars after dinner.' But everyone has their own goals and timeline to get them. I'd definitely check that label though next time you kick one back, so that you at least know for sure what it's costing.

Are you drinking to get drunk or are you drinking socially?

If you're drinking to get a little slanted, then go with hard liquor or consider cannibis. If you're drinking socially, just stop or switch to diet 7up and lie and tell people there's vodka in it.

try to keep it just socially. for example probably have something to drink with game 7 nba finals tonight

Damn, a COUPLE of 40's?

If it's social, can't you just have a couple 12 oz bottles or cans?

Short answer: No this won't slow you down at all*

*assuming you wish to lose 1-2 pounds a month

If you can, just limit yourself to one drinking a night a month and that night just get blackout drunk if need be. 40's will still be around after you are finished cutting.

Me too. Likely a couple of Sam Adams Summer Ales with the BBQ my Celts-fan bros wanted to have for gm7. But 40s? No way. If I'm drinking empty calories, I'm at least drinking something high quality. 40s are there because they get you blitzed for cheap, but they also carry a LOT more calories for your buzz.

[ryankoch83]

ha ya we probably just get some Summerfest. no more ghetto 40's i guess. ah brought back the high school days. btw i think lakers are going to kill again

licorice was minor trolling i admit. i did think it was weird there was protein in the licorice though. and im going to try to cut the beer back to once a week. and i might have to upgrade to higher quality beer to haha. it's not like i dont have the money. haha old habits

[phoenixr2]

What if you cut back on the drinks to weekends, or even better, special occasions? You can drink if you want to, but it really will not be beneficial to your overall goals. The more serious I have gotten the more I have cut out food/drink that will not help me reach my goals. Honestly, I don't even miss them anymore either. Being proud of yourself and what you have accomplished far outweighs the enjoyment any drink can give you. Best wishes to you reaching your goal man.

[ryankoch83]

you're probably right. just drinking because it's the weekend doesnt count as a special occasion. then waking up the next day knowing you screwed up on your diet just to drink beer and watch a movie.

words of wisdom thanks
