Scientists reveal the exact number of beers you can drink after exercise and STILL lose weight… – The US Sun


IF you're trying to lose weight, you have probably heard the same things over and over again.
Monitoring your choices of food and exercise, as well as your alcohol intake is pretty standard advice when it comes to watching those numbers come down on the scales.
If you like a tipple, you might be disappointed when social media stars say cutting out booze is one of the best ways to build muscle.
Muscle mass is important for weight loss as the more muscle mass you have, the more calories you will burn.
And experts have said that having a higher muscle mass is actually helpful when it comes to burning calories and fat.
But the good news is, you don't completely need to cut out booze and studies have shown you can have two beers and still lose weight.
A study published in 2015 found that moderate daily alcohol intake for two weeksdid not impair muscle growth.
While the study was carried out on rodents, expert say this implies that a beer or two is unlikely to impede your ability to build muscle in a response to resistant exercise.
Resistance trainingincreases muscle strength by making your muscles work against a weight or force.
It includes using free weights, weight machines, resistance bands and your own body weight.
Professor Colleen Deane, of Clinical, Metabolic & Molecular Physiology, at University of Nottingham said you might actually also have an alcohol threshold.
Writing in The Conversation, she said: "Once you go over it will negatively affect the bodys muscle growth response to resistance exercise.
"Alcohols effect on the bodys hormones specifically testosterone may also impact muscle gains. Testosterone is a hormone that helpsincrease muscle massin response to resistance exercise training."
The expert added that moderate doses of booze - approximated at two beers - can increase testosterone levels.
"The downside, though, is that this increase doesnt last very long, making it therefore unlikely to significantly contribute to muscle gain.
Some research shows that lots of booze can actually do the opposite and reduce testosterone levels.
"This suggests that theres a threshold beyond which alcohol impairs the benefits of exercise," Prof Collene said.
But separate research has also shown that you can counteract the negative effect of alcohol on muscle growth to some extent by ingesting lots of protein.
Eating between20g-25gof protein after exercising - the equivalent of approximatelythree large eggs - the study suggests.
"This is likely due to the fact that protein intake is one of the main drivers of muscle growthin the body," the expert said.
The average person can burn anywherebetween 108-216 caloriesper 30 minutes of weightlifting - depending on the intensity of their workout.
A pint of beer, on the other hand, contains around200 calories.
"So, its unlikely your post-workout drink will lead to excessive weight gain," she explained.
"But regularly indulging in heavy alcohol consumption mayincrease your risk of gaining weight.
"If youre someone who enjoys having a couple drinks throughout the week, it looks like a post-workout drink or two is unlikely to hamper your efforts to gain muscle though binge drinking could," she added.
Official guidelines recommend that both men and women should not drink more than14 units of alcohol a week.
One unit is either 10ml or 8g of pure alcohol, which is meant to be the amount the average adult can process in an hour.
If you are concerned about your own or a loved ones drinking,speak to yourGP.
They'll be able to explain what help is available after assessing your drinking habits, from counselling to medicine and support groups.
TheNHSrecommends having alcohol-free days and not bingeing.
