INTRODUCTION

Want to lose weight but not ready to give up your glass of wine on a
Saturday night?
Have you been told by previous diet programs you have to cut alcohol?
The good news is: We're here to tell you you can still live a little and
have that glass of wine!
But there's so much confusion out there, one article hails the benefits of a daily
glass of wine one day; yet the next, doom and gloom awaits for anyone who
dares to touch a single drop.
At least a third of the world’s
population consumes alcohol
regularly. The subject of
alcohol is surrounded by
controversy and confusion.
Headlines hail the benefits of
a daily glass of wine one day;
yet the next, doom and gloom
abounds for anyone who
dares to touch a single drop.
Alcohol consumption
No one actually knows whether drinking any amount of alcohol is actually good
for us. Certain types of drinks we know come with some health benefits but
these are limited. Too much alcohol is categorically harmful and can significantly
impact sleep, recovery and many aspects of health. has also shown
that regular alcohol consumption can also lead to immune and even hormonal
disturbance.
Research

There’s no completely safe level of drinking but sticking within these guidelines
lowers your risk of harming your health. Weekends, times with friends and
holidays are times where we enjoy alcohol. If we want to offset any weight gain,
adding alcohol to the equation makes this a tough one to balance.
Let us show you how you can enjoy alcohol - AND see progress on your weight
loss journey.
That’s where this guide comes in. Having a social life
when dieting is something that many find hard to do
but it does not mean you need to completely avoid all
social occasions.
Head of Nutrition at ReverseHealth
Matt Jones
1.5oz (30ml) of spirit
5oz (150ml) of wine
12oz (350ml) of beer
It’s recommended by the that women
drink no more than 1 drink per day, with
one drink being 1.5 oz of spirit, 5 oz wine or
12 oz of beer. Binge drinking is incredibly
harmful and will exacerbate all of the
negative effects of alcohol consumption.

Alcohol during menopause:
Every woman experiences different reactions to
alcohol consumption while transitioning through
menopause. We recommend drinking in
moderation as stated above, as even small
quantities may worsen menopause symptoms,
such as hot flashes and sleep disturbance in some
women.
+
We recommend limiting your alcohol intake to no more than 1-2 servings
once per week to maximize your weight loss progress with our program.
At A Glance
Despite much of the doom and gloom, you do not necessarily have to cut
alcohol completely. As with most things, making smart choices is crucial.
Selecting low calorie options, low in toxins and sugar are recommended.
Vodka
Whiskey
Select low calorie mixers such as soda water or diet soft drinks.
Gin
Tequila

That’s not to say that every alcoholic beverage only has these calories. Some
drinks still have sugar and come from grains, which have proteins and you also
have to factor in any calories within mixers such as soft drinks, cordial or fruit
juices. These add more calories into the beverage.
Hence why a 4% beer doesn’t only have 28 cals per 100ml of liquid, it has
carbohydrate and protein calories additionally too.
Also be mindful that if you have worked hard through the week, and are using
the weekend to recover, using all of your calories on alcohol won’t exactly
support those recovery objectives, as it is actually recognized as a toxin by the
body.
On a gram per gram basis, alcohol is energy-dense,
actually more than carbohydrates and protein,
which both contain 4 calories per gram, but slightly
less than fat which contains 9 calories per gram.

7. Impact on
Menopause&Hormones

Overall the research on the benefits and risks of alcohol consumption during
menopause is mixed, especially on alleviating or aggravating symptoms like hot
flashes.
Every woman experiences menopause symptoms as well as the effect of alcohol
consumption differently.
Our take is: Err on the side of caution. Generally the less you drink, the better you
sleep, the more energy you have the next day and the less you'll be craving high-
calorie foods, making it easier to lose weight and keep it off long-term.
Alcohol can impair various
hormones, particularly
testosterone. Testosterone plays
a crucial role in metabolic rate
and fat burning.
Low testosterone can heighten
the risk for weight gain, diabetes,
cardiovascular disease and more.
Sleep quality is also negatively
impacted by alcohol
consumption. So even though
you may sleep for an
extended period after a few
drinks, sleep quality is poor so
it’s not a restful and
rejuvenating sleep.

servings

The processes of fat and protein metabolism in the body are halted until alcohol
is removed from the bloodstream. So if drinking alcohol alongside food, the
calories and macronutrients from the foods are likely stored while the body
addresses the alcohol.
As we know alcohol reduces inhibition and impairs decision making, including
with food.
So be mindful of food choices when drinking alcohol, where possible select lower
calorie, higher protein options like meat or fish with salad or vegetables, and
avoid pizza or burger after having had a few drinks.
Within an hour of drinking one unit, in theory, ‘most’ adults will have
metabolized the alcohol, however, it is unique to the individual. The number of
units in a drink changes depending on the amount and strength of the drink.

Research shows that binge
drinking (4 or more drinks on an
occasion for women) increases your
short-term risk of accidents and
injuries by two to five times.
Reviewing how much you drink
and being cautious to stay within
the low-risk guidelines, has clear
benefits for your long-term health,
lowering blood pressure and
reducing your risk of long-term
health complications.

Fridays and Saturdays are typically the
days we consume the most calories
compared to other week days. When
we make choices about social events,
it’s important to make sure that you
know what to do.
Now you have this guide, you are
more able to make better caloric
decisions on alcohol.
Make a good choice, train and have fun.
Plan it
You can make small changes to your daily movement that will help you
expend a few more calories. Taking a 30 minute walk, standing not
sitting, train with less rest or more intensity and add a little cardio.
INCREASING ACTIVITY
By removing some calories from carbohydrate foods or dietary fats you
can save a few calories here and there and help have a little more energy
for your alcohol. If you’re tracking, plan to put the drinks you’d like into
your macros first and then work backwards and do the math from there.

Tips
Staying hydrated will help
offset a hangover and support
the removal of toxins from the
body.
1. ALTERNATE BETWEEN
HAVING ALCOHOL AND WATER
We know things change as a night goes on but the fact you made a plan
alone even helped you. Try to stick to what you said you would do for the
best result.
3. TRY TO STICK TO YOUR
PLANNED ALCOHOL GOAL
Cocktails such as pina colada
and margaritas, as well as
liqueurs such as Bailey’s and
other rich, sugary drinks
aren’t only high in alcohol but
also have a lot of calories,
have one but consider them
dessert.
2. AVOID HIGHER CALORIE

All unsweetened and unflavoured liquor will
have 0g carbs. Liqueurs and most mixers do
have carbs so avoid them or choose diet mixers.
Try a vodka, soda and lime or dry
martini.
All forms of whiskey.
Wine Unsweetened
champagne, dry red
and dry white wine
These are going to be the lowest carb wines that
you can consume. These typically range in the
3-5g carbs per 175ml glass range.
Extra dry or brut champagne (1-5g).
Dry red or white wines (2-5g)
Beer Light beers Most beers are very high in carbs so they should
be avoided. Typically lighter beers will have
nutrition information available.
Michelob Ultra (2.1g);
Skinny brands lager (3g); BrewDog
Vagabond (3.3g); Bud Light (9g)
cider Dry ciders and

Most cider is very high in sugar, which you may
want to avoid if you’re sticking to a low carb diet,
especially the flavoured sweet ones.
Kopparberg Light Passion Fruit
(12.5g); Strongbow Ultra Dark Fruit
(15g)
ALCOPOPS Hard seltzer Most will typically have 20-40g but the market
of hard seltzer’s is a good option over the 28g of

Vodka is distilled and filtered, your body will only
have to deal with the alcohol, calorie load and not
other toxins. Drink it neat and cold.
MOSTDAMAGING:BEERANDLAGER
Beer contains gluten, yeast and other toxins. If
you’re going to drink beer, opt for clearer and
gluten-free choices.
MODERATE:DRYCIDERANDWHITEWINE
Cider: In addition to being gluten free - apples
don’t form the worst toxins, the primary one made
by apples does not survive fermentation. Cider can
still however stimulate yeast buildup.
Dry white wine: Lower in toxins than regular whites
or reds. European wine is required to meet higher
standards and is therefore slightly better.
22. PLAY
THE PACE GAME
22
Decide a percentage of drunk you’re willing to
commit to and pace yourself to stay there.
By taking time over your alcoholic beverages and
taking measures to offset alcohol, such as a glass of
water in between drinks or using mixers for extra
hydration, you can keep yourself at a dose specific
effect, as practically reasonable as possible, to
offset the hangover.
Rate your decided level of drunk on a scale of 1-5
where do I feel I could still make sound choices
without the need to compensate tomorrow?
Note: 1 unit of alcohol takes around 1 hour to metabolize.
The overall advice: sip small, enjoy the taste
and flavor, chew any food fully and stay
present.

SUPPLEMENTSTOHELPMERECOVER
Before, during or after drinking you can take a dose
of activated charcoal as it binds to toxins to absorb
and remove toxic substances from the lower
intestinal tract (intestines and colon).
Use N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) as a precursor to
glutathione (a powerful antioxidant that doesn’t
need multiple antioxidants to function) - it comes
from an amino acid L-cysteine and has many uses
and FDA approved. You find this in high protein
foods, such as chicken, turkey, yogurt, cottage
cheese, eggs, sunflower seeds, and legumes too.
Vitamin C, again another antioxidant but also
drinking alcohol increases vitamin C excretion in
the urine. Try a dose of vitamin C before drinking.
NUTRITIONALASSISTANCE
Elevate your protein intake to provide adequate
aminos and B vitamins before you drink and again
in recovery, especially from dairy, whey protein,
beef, poultry, eggs, asparagus, beans, legumes,
nuts, seeds, fish and seafood as these are natural
sources of asparagine and potential glutathione
boosters.
Vegetables and adequate fibre helps support
detoxification, add nutrients and re-gain water
balance. Use whole foods such as asparagus,
potatoes, beans, chickpeas, carrots, nuts, seeds and
whole grains as they naturally have more
hydration, more nutrients and are lower in calories.
Use green tea, coffee, dark chocolate, orange and
grapefruit juices, blueberries, blackberries,
bananas and avocados for polyphenols, vitamin C
and micronutrients to support recovery.
Drink plenty of water and add lemons, oranges and
limes.
The best cure for a hangover is always to drink less,
hydrate and drink responsibly.
24. 24
ELECTROLYTES
When drinking alcohol your kidneys excrete water
to remove toxins, water balance is effected and
electrolytes are lost. Rehydrate with some
electrolytes in your drinking water or use naturally
hydrating drinks such as orange juice and coconut
water.
