Guest guest Posted June 19, 2001 Report Share Posted June 19, 2001 JJ, I would not DARE contradict you BUT I have read it does slow it down (Dr. Atkins said so). I imagine it does in the sense that when you drink, the next day you don't much feel like exercising or doing much of anything, so when you don't exercise consistently your metabolism slows down??? All I know is that now that I don't drink (as often and as much), I do MORE exercise, don't have those food binges that come with a hangover AND I am slowly losing weight without a lot of effort in the food dept...course not to mention I feel better. Now if I could cut it out completely maybe I COULD BE A SIZE 4!!!! Joya t does not slow your metabolism down, but it does sedate the brain...and it does increase the uptake of fat in the diet, so many people find that if they will cut out ALL alcohol of any type they will lose weight more quickly. JJ-my 2 bits From: norwood@... Does alcohol slow down your metabolism? Sure does me. One or two sips and I am ready for bed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
