Does alcohol hinder weight loss?

When I consulted a clinical nutritionist at Kokilaben Hospital, she told me that alcohol slows down metabolism significantly. It's best to ask your doctor or dietician for a proper diet chart that suits your body.

Yes, it hinders weight loss and also increases blood pressure. Weight management is very important for heart health, so cutting down alcohol is highly recommended. Make sure to get your BP and cholesterol checked regularly too.

I am just starting my fitness journey and didn't know alcohol had so many calories. Does even a small glass of wine on weekends affect weight loss, or is it only heavy drinking? I would love to know how others manage this.

Dealing with PCOS makes losing weight hard enough, and alcohol definitely makes it worse by causing hormonal imbalance and bloating. I try to avoid it completely to keep my insulin levels stable. It is tough but worth it.

In my younger days, I couldn't understand why my belly fat wasn't reducing despite daily walks. Once I cut down my evening beers, the weight started dropping naturally. Don't worry, just reduce the drinks and you will see results.
