Alcohol consumption inspires a variety of dietary
questions: How many calories in a pint of lager? Does red wine
have more calories than white? Let’s weigh in on how alcohol
affects weight loss. Consume 500 calories more than
your active metabolic rate and you will gain 1lb per week.
The calorie table below shows how your diet
can suffer with a night out and ideas on how to reduce your
calorie intake.
Exercise
can help with these "extra calories". 1.
Increase Your Muscle Mass –
through
strength training 3 times a week for 30mins
as muscle burns more calories than fat. When you increase
your muscle mass, you’ll not only notice a more toned body,
but you’ll also burn more calories even at rest, your
Resting Metabolic Rate.(RMR)
2. Do your
favourite cardio activity such as dancing, running, cycling
and swimming 3. Increase Your Daily Activity – by making
little changes to your daily routine, like walking up stairs
v taking the lift, means you will increase your daily
energy expenditure.
You can also increase your RMR through a Healthy
Diet ? 1. Eat breakfast 2. Spread out your daily
caloric intake by eating several small meals and snacks. 3.
Control your calorie intake 4. Eat More Protein:
Protein-rich foods (especially plant-based) are usually low
in fat and calories. Protein also takes more energy to
digest that fats and carbohydrates which means that you will
get a metabolic boost!
