Hey there beautiful human you're listening to Embrace your real with me Julie Ledbetter a

podcast where I empower you to just be you with each episode I dish you a dose of

real talk and actionable advice for building your confidence, honoring your body, and unconditionally loving your authentic self.

Stay tuned if you're ready to embrace your real, let's get it, let's go.

Hello and welcome back to another episode of the Embrace Herald Podcast, really excited about today's episode. This is a question that I get a lot in my inbox and my DMs. People wanting to know

if you can drink alcohol, people wanting to know if I personally drink alcohol,

especially when it correlates with your health and fitness goals.

So the various questions that I normally get asked are,

does drinking alcohol make you fat?

Should you not be drinking alcohol if you undo all of the hard work that you've put in? Short answer

to all of these questions is no, but with that being said just like anything drinking

alcohol freely will likely hinder your goals not because it's the alcohol

per se but just like eating anything or drinking anything freely without having a concept and a grasp on how much your body needs in relation to how much you're actually fueling your body, it will likely hinder your goals.

So in today's episode I'm going to teach you how to calculate alcohol in macros so that when you have

a drink or if you're wanting to have alcohol going out with friends and family or having a party,

you can do so without feeling guilty, having FOMO or punishing yourself later for it.

Before I dive in though, I have to share the super sweet review.

It comes from J.T. Shay. She says

encouraging. I love listening to these podcasts. I look forward to them every week.

Julie keeps it real. This podcast has changed my perspective on health, fitness, and food for the better.

I always feel encouraged after listening and she makes things so easy to understand and follow.

Such an amazing listen if you're looking to boost your confidence feel good in your own skin and
