Nutrition Guide: Effect of the Alcohol on the Metabolism

Alcohol provides empty calories. No nutritional benefit is derived from alcohol.

Alcohol is 7 calories per gram, which is almost as high as fat in caloric content. In addition alcohol temporarily slows down the metabolism.

The effect of this is that less fat is burned (lower BMR). Generally, high fat foods are consumed with alcohol, which makes matters worse. Also, alcohol inhibits the liver from metabolizing fat.

As you can see any weight loss programs has to exclude alcohol.
