Now....my thinking was...."as long as I keep it to 20 carbs a day, it shouldnt matter where those carbs came from."
Evidentally.....this is not true. If I've learned anything this week, it's this: Ya cant drink a liter of wine a day and lose weight.
But what I want to know is.....WHY?
why are wine carbs dfferent from food carbs? Where did my logic err? What exactly is it that makes this happen? Does alcohol....stop ketosis? Or...what?
A liter a day?????? It's not the carbs that did you in it's the calories. Not only does a liter of red wine have around 720 calories, white around 680 (give or take) those calories are burned before anything else. So while you're burning alcohol calories you aren't burning fat. -- Jeri "Change is inevitable, except from vending machines."
My logic also was, "If Im drinking a bottle of wine every day (well, most days) ANYWAY, then reducing the number of cals and carbs by LC eatring would still be relative to when Im NOT LCing....thus, still be a [censored] fewer cals and carbs.
But I see wha you're saying about burning the alcohold first. That makes sense. Partic since I didnt do my aerobics at all this week.
