Here we are deep in the throws of a month without alcohol! This is a friendly reminder on why we started and why we’ll continue!
- 1 gram of alcohol has 7 calories
- A good estimate for 1 shot of alcohol = 100 calories
- Of course it all depends on how much sugar, other carbs, and alcohol is really in your drink
- Empty calories like the ones in alcohol = devoid of beneficial nutrients
- Alcohol is readily absorbed through the entire GI tract
- Alcohol is a diuretic –> dehydration –> accelerates fatigue and alters temperature regulation
- Alters carb and protein metabolism, which are important for proper exercise recovery and adaptation to training
I offer you an alternative to the nightly cocktail, wine, or beer:
The Steve Sovich – one 16 oz. serving
- Grab some club soda, pomegranate juice, fresh lime, and ice.
- Pour exactly one shot of pomegranate juice into a 16 oz glass.
- Squeeze the juice from whole lime.
- Add desired level of ice.
- Fill to the top with club soda.
- Enjoy sobriety.
Squeeze that lime juice.
Go ahead and pour yourself a refreshing Steve Sovich!
