Booze and the effects on training
-
No dramatic but feeling a lot better for it and hopefully looking it too.<br />
<br />
Use to often have a beer with dinner but nowadays it is pretty much water only. Still like to have a beer in hand whilst driving the bbq but if I do its just the one. Summer will surely be more of a challenge.<br />
<br />
Mentioned it in other thread but I've been on the low carb macs beer and its not bad and at something like 5g of carbs per beer its not killing my daily marcos. -
I haven't really had a drink now seriously sine 2009. And don't miss it at all, and love not being hungover and wasting a day feeling like shit. And Wallet likes it too. Last time written off was 40th birthday January 2011, and probably less than a dozen drinks in total since then. My Xmas box of Macs Gold lasts through to next Xmas now days.

Yeah can't quite see myself ever being like that Bart but I've definitely taken the first steps, thats for sure ! all of this combined with the training and diet ( both of which have been pretty decent for years but could always be a bit better ) should see a new me !

Wasn't a concious choice, just happened by accident, no chance to drink while on the bodybuilding lean downs, and now that all my mates etc understand, they don't try and peer pressure me into a beer. if I go out, a diet ginger beer or whatever floats my boat!!

Schnitzel is about to be served and I'm gonna have a glass or two of tonic water with it <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/good.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':good1:' />

Some good reading on leangains.com about the effects of alcohol on fat loss and general training etc. Worth a read [url="http://www.leangains.com/2010/07/truth-about-alcohol-fat-loss-and-muscle.html"]http://www.leangains...and-muscle.html[/url]

had my first beer in the past 7 days (8 days ago I had my uncles 60th, so had probably 4 or 5 Pures, and about 4 or 5 Beam and Cola (not RTD) felt fine the next day, had it while cooking up a nice steak on the BBQ tonight though...bought a dozen Stoke Amber 3 weeks ago, there are 6 left, and Mrs TR has had 3.

Had 1 low carb beer whilst driving the bbq last night and that was it. Am sure to knock a few back after my holes of golf on Friday though!<br />
