Have you hit a weight loss plateau, even though you seem to be doing all the right things?

Booze and the way it is consumed could a lot to do not achieving an ideal weight. People lead such busy lives now that they work hard and find the need to play hard. Binge drinking has reached epidemic proportions and apart from the health implications it helps maintain the bulge. It is not so much the high calorie content in alcohol which is instantly released into the bloodstream. It has a lot to do with the metabolism shutting down after such a shock to the system. The food choices we make after a binge are usually quite poor as well. Usually you can also write-off the next day when it comes to training or eating well, sometimes it takes 2 or more days to fully get back in the mood for training. We have all been there with polar bear.

So What to do?

I have for you a great quick read from Craig Ballantyne, the creator of Turbulence Training. Here are some good observations on Alcohol and Training. Personally, the years I struggled most with my weight were also the years I used to binge drink. I rarely drink any more and when out with friends I may have a glass or two with plenty of water in between. When I get home I try to make a nutritious snack before bed.
