Many clients struggle to lose weight, optimize their health and become fat burners because why? In my experience…they drink too much alcohol each night!
I am not a big drinker – especially after my experience on the “party bus” (see chapter on my personal story in LIFE IS NOT A RACE book on Amazon for details!!). I coach clients of all ages and sizes but the ones who don’t seem to adhere to their individualized “The WHOLESTIC Method” Nutritional Therapy plan have a common theme. They don’t stop drinking their wine, cocktails or beer each week- or each night!
So many people seem to use wine or another source of alcohol as a solution to reduce stress, unwind and relax. Does it really do that for you? Perhaps if people could limit their intake to one drink a night or even better consume no more than two drinks maximum on two days a week. The problem is that the majority of my coaching clients trying to lose excess weight, balance their blood sugar and optimize their health do not make that lifestyle change. It is a habit- just as eating a bag of popcorn at night or having that candy that sits on the counter.
Do we need to go into rehab or sign up for AA? I always want to ask a client- if you can’t not drink any alcohol for 30 days then we may need to search out additional help with your addiction.
What do you think?
Are you able to stop drinking that glass or bottle of wine each night?
Do you need to have those martini’s at every work event or dinner function you attend each week?
Do you feel that you are only funny and entertaining if you have a few glasses of alcohol?
Let me know as I am curious on the habit and addiction people form over time. Perhaps their blood sugar will be more stabilized, reduce the insulin surges and reduce fat storage if they stop drinking so frequently as well as improve sleep and reduce stress by searching for other “stress reducer” strategies at night as going for a walk after a busy or stressful day at work! We should be burning fat during the day and the night – not burning sugar as well as overloading the liver with excess work processing alcohol.
Let’s work on improving the WHOLE you from the inside out with Nutritional Therapy and The WHOLESTIC Method coaching program.
