Hi,
What would be the difference If I drink 300 calories of alcohol (no mixer, straight Gin lets say), or if I have 300 calories of a sweet dessert (like ice cream or cake as an example)?
From a health standpoint would one be better?
From a weight loss standpoint which one would be better?
For health
- Recently there was a study that claimed that no amount of alcohol is healthy
No Amount Of Alcohol Is Good For Your Health, Global Study Says : NPR - But sugar has also been said to be inflammatory, but isn’t alcohol just sugar anyway?
for weight loss
Is a calorie a calorie? Does Alcohol affect your metabolism adversely or does the insulin spike of a cake affect my metabolism the same way?
Basically, if it’s a Friday night and I’m going to unwind. Should I get a glass of booze or a bowl of Ice cream, or does it even matter?
I tried researching this on the internet but I can’t find a straight answer without a ridiculous amount of mitigating factors.
Thanks so much for your wealth of knowledge!
