On the eve of the holiday, we decided to ask our experts - a famous doctor and psychiatrist Alexis Magalif MD, dietician Michael Ginsburg, why is alcohol fattening and how to drink, not to gain weight. 1. Why is alcohol increases your appetite? mechanism of this phenomenon, rather, a chemical than biochemical. Alcohol, acting as a solvent for fats, increases the permeability of cell membranes that some of these fats are.Glucose is through these pores in membranes, "escapes" from the blood into cells. Its concentration in the blood drops, and the feeling of hunger.So it is very difficult to control hunger. And usually it ends up over-abundant hors d'oeuvres. Moreover, the preference in this situation, we give food to the most oily and sweet. In addition, alcohol reduces the criticism and ideas of all the will and a healthy lifestyle and weight maintenance blunted. 2. And, they say alcohol is not fattening ... Alcohol itself is a very nutritious product (see table). But these little calories provide no satiety, so that "overeating" or perepivanie in this situation is inevitable. And the more we consume alcoholic beverages, the harder it is to contain the increase of weight. 3. How to drink in grams? All these unpleasant effects of alcohol are determined by the rate of rise in blood alcohol concentration and the level of concentration itself.That is, the slower the alcohol enters the bloodstream, and the lower the peak of its concentration, the better for us. The main thing is to remember a few rules: - No impact will not work if a glass of dry wine we are able to stretch to an hour sitting at the table. And do not want to eat at the banquet table more than 50 grams of alcohol. It is approximately 120 ml of brandy or vodka, 300-350 ml of dry wine (two glasses), or 800 - 1000 ml of beer (two circles). - The lower degree, the better. It is best to dilute the wine with water, soda, whiskey, gin and tonic. This measure also helps to reduce the rate at which alcohol in the blood. 4. And what better to drink? And there? tanning substances in alcohol slow the absorption of alcohol. Hence, dry red wine is preferable to white, and brandy and whiskey rather than vodka and gin. In addition, the rate of absorption of alcohol from the drink depends on what we wash down with the drink, or jam. So against the backdrop of meat snacks and savory non-carbonated drinks slowed the rate of absorption of alcohol, but if you stick with fruit drink, or drink carbonated water, the rate of absorption of alcohol on the contrary increased. For the same reason less desirable drinks containing gas - champagne, beer and cocktails. Naturally, for starters we are more suitable lean meats and fish
