In reply to YuccaKnight. Heah Yucca, when it comes to losing weight, a caloric deficit is all that matters and it plays no role how much or little you have of fat, carbs etc. However, I think I can see where that recommendation is coming from: As you know, carbs allow you to perform better when you do cardio. If you do cardio for weight loss, but don't have any carbs, you will perform worse and therefore burn less calories.

Seeing how there are a lot of carbs in alcohol I have a carb question. It is another bro science belief. My friend told me I should be eating 95g of carbs a day to lose weight. I don’t believe this i true but if I am wrong I would love to see some facts on it. Thanks. 🙂

In reply to canadianguy. True that! Alcohol has indeed quite a dehydrating effect. I thought about mentioning it, but as the video was already way longer than 5 min, decided against it.

Forgot the water in the equation. Alcohol does tend to eliminate water. That is usually the case for hang overs. So hydration of the body after a hard night drinking will be lacking which will inhibit your body’s ability to convert calories to energy as well as properly control temperature.

Great vid.
