  • Recent studies suggest that light to moderate drinking is generally not linked to weight gain, while heavy drinking tends to be more consistently associated with gaining weight.
  • The relationship between alcohol and obesity is complex and influenced by various factors, including individual lifestyle habits, with some people more at risk of weight gain from alcohol than others.]

A medio y largo plazo: El riesgo de obesidad se dispara. El metabolismo se ve afectado, del mismo modo que la producción hormonal. La inflamación aumenta y la sensación de saciedad se distorsiona. Cada vez se acumula grasa con mayor facilidad. https://t.co/HmNwS8A141

@lvlyspo @mybabyyhoneyy that study is unfortunately outdated; as the liver metabolizes alcohol it essentially is preoccupied with detoxification and shunts alcohol to fat storage. here are some more recent studies: https://t.co/WZkBIylBHr https://t.co/dhLrUwVp2V

@mr_diversify Liquid Calories are the enemy for sure. There is even some evidence that alcohol actually inhibits fat oxidation. (https://t.co/bvNPCHWa4U)
