Does alcohol such as beer and lager affect getting a six pack and hiding muscle definition

The effect of alcohol on shaping those abs and muscles. Beer, wine or spirits?

Hi Vince, I'm a 24yr old male and have been doing the program about a week. I feel great. M-f I work hard and eat right. On weekends there is always something going on with my friends and usually alcohol is involved. Does beer and liquor really set you back and also eating candies and junk on those 2 days?

Well, that is a good question by the way and to answer it honestly...YES, it probably isn't the best idea to more or less "binge" all weekend....lol.

From my own personal experience, back a few years ago when I was trying to reach my desired goal, I was very serious about staying on track to arrive at my goal quicker. Once I achieved my goal, then it was much easier to cheat through the weekend and be right back on track come Monday. In your case, if you have not reached your desired goal first, it will just take you a lot longer to ever reach a point to where you are completely comfortable with your body. I always advice people to stay on track and focused to reach your physical goals since you will be a lot more fulfilled at that point. Otherwise if you cheat all weekend, then it will not only take longer to ever reach your goals, it is also very hard to continue going back every Monday and trying not to eat the sweets and stuff since you've never allowed your body to get over the cravings...its like a chemical thing which takes at least two weeks for your body to loose its craving for sugar stuff. Almost like trying to quit smoking or something like that.

I hope that all makes some sense. I certainly want you to go out and enjoy your life with your friends, not to be a slave to a diet or anything like that. Think of it as a lifestyle change....and only take it to where it doesn't compromise your life too much.

If you can stick to the spirits like vodka, whiskey etc. and also red or white wine and leave off the beer and lager it will be better for you. All the empty calories in beer will only lead to adding more fat!

Good luck Roy, and let me know if you have any other questions or need advice along the way.
