It is pretty common knowledge that non-clear alcohol is usually made with lots and lots of sugar (rum, I mean you)! Most of us know to stay away from it, whether we are dieting or not…
And we don’t even need to talk about how fattening beer is, right?
But, What About Clear Alcohol?
Sorry to burst your bubble, but clear alcohol is not good for our waistlines, either.
During your Cabbage Soup week, you should resist alcohol as much as possible.
Regardless of the color of your booze, it still contains alcohol, and when you drink it, your liver converts the booze into a substance called acetate. Acetate makes it harder to burn calories in general, and almost impossible to burn fat.
Your body will burn off this acetate – and it will stop there. The acetate actually slows down your metabolism… the exact opposite of what you worked so hard to do on your Cabbage Soup Diet week!
People are usually concerned about gaining their weight back after the Soup week – but that won’t happen if you don’t go all out – and that includes curbing your drinking if you want to keep losing weight.
If you’re interested in a program that gives you one full “cheat” day every week, including allowing you to drink alcohol and party, I suggest you check out the Xtreme Fat Loss program by Joel Marion.
There are 5 segments of 5 days, for a total 25 day long program. Each week, you get ONE cheat day – how easy is that?

Okay – Fess Up! Do You Ever Really Just Have ONE Drink?
There are “only” seven calories per gram of a clear alcohol, like vodka. A gram is NOT very much, and I doubt that you (or I) actually weigh the amount of alcohol we consume.
One drink leads to two…two drinks lead to three…
And what about your mixer?
If you don’t drink the alcohol straight than you risk racking up more calories. Even a juice without a lot of sugar, like cranberry, still has plenty of it, and glass after glass adds up!
Wouldn’t a program WITH a cheat day help?? <– Get Info Now!
And what about after you’ve finished drinking?
Odds are you might want a snack, and studies show (as does common sense) that we tend to eat more after we imbibe – sometimes eating up to 30% more than we would have without a drink!
So, while I am certainly not saying never to drink again, I am saying that alcohol IS still alcohol, whether it is clear or not, and if your ultimate goal is weight loss, you might want to think twice before you grab that martini!
