wine issue

[Guest guest]

I'm on week 6 of the challenge and my 3rd challenge in the past 4 years. I

follow BFL most of the time but do get complacent and a few pounds creep back

on. This time I wanted to just firm up a bit more and lose 5-6 pounds. The

first 5 weeks I continued to have my 1 or 2 glasses of red wine in the

evening and had not lost one single pound!!

I decided to cut out the wine and this week I have lost two pounds. Granted

that I usually start noticing changes around day 40 but I do think there is

a definite connection that is not just calorie related with the wine. I

found the article about the liver having to metabolize the alcohol before the

fat

very informative.

I will probably have a glass or two on Mother's Day but for the most part

I'm done with wine for awhile.
