264_Alcohol, Fat Loss, and Metabolic Adaptation: What’s Really Holding You Back?

The Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show with Ben Brown

What is going on? Welcome to another Q&A episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show.

I'm your host, as always, Ben Brown, Owner and Head Coach here at Body Systems. We are an online nutrition and fitness coaching company, and we help you change your belief system around what it means to be healthy. My goal with this podcast is to provide the most straightforward, practical, and strategically simple fitness, nutrition, lifestyle, and fat loss resources possible so that you can achieve your best with less.

In today's episode, I'm tackling one of the most common questions we get: Do I need to eliminate alcohol to lose weight? The short answer is no, but the long answer is more complex. I’ll dive into the impact of alcohol on fat loss, how it influences your behavior and sleep, and what you need to consider if you want to make progress without completely cutting it out. Plus, I’ll break down what metabolic adaptation really is and whether it’s the reason you’re struggling to lose weight.
