Alcohol consumption is a major obstacle to fat loss. I don’t know how much diet and exercise effort goes to waste every weekend when you have that wine or beer. If you’re serious about your health and body composition goals, then you need to eliminate your drinking until you get to your goals. Once you’re there, you can afford to play around with how much you can have and monitor yourself so that you don’t end up gaining all your weight back. The biggest mistake that I see people make is allowing themselves to drink on the weekends. That's like a smoker who is trying to quit while allowing himself a night of smoking every week. That's not how you quit. It just doesn't work, and drinking every Saturday is not how you lose fat. I don’t mind if you have an alcoholic drink on special occasions, but I do mind it if it happens to be every weekend.

I can confirm this! I've quit drinking completely now for two years. And I lost a bunch of weight (combined with proper diet of course), but now no matter what I eat and how much, my weight is not coming back. It's like alcohol was slowing down my metabolism and adding a ton of extra calories at the same time.
Thanks for sharing that Roman!
