Alcohol - The empty kilojoules

Alcohol - Empty Kilojoules!


Alcohol is often referred to as ‘empty kilojoules’, because it has plenty of kilojoules, yet no nutritional benefit. i.e. Your body doesn't get anything useful out of it. It may also lead to impaired judgement, and excessive eating, thus significantly increasing the energy intake and weight gain.

Increased alcohol consumption can also lead to high blood pressure, consequently increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke due to the increase in triglycerides.


1 gram of alcohol has 29kj of energy in it. 1 gram of carbohydrate has 16kj of energy. 1 gram of fat has 37kj of energy!

  19. You can increase your water intake throughout the day. Going from skinny to muscle depends
    on how you approach and execute your workouts as
    well as how you manage your nutrition and rest.
    In order to build muscle I have seen consistently with mytests on over a
    thousand skinny males that the usualrecommended calorie intake of 12- 14 calories per pound ofbodyweight is not enough to build muscle.

  22. You can increase your water intake throughout the day.
    There's a clever little line in the Jimmy Buffet lyrics "Fruitcakes" when his 'lady' is lamenting: "I treat my body like a temple, You treat yours like a tent". Figuring out how much protein you should be eating can be tricky.
