Let's talk about the top thing that can stop your ability to lose your midsection, your belly fat,

0:08.9

and you're probably thinking it's sugar, right, or carbs, but there's something else that's

0:14.4

of equal magnitude in preventing you from losing your belly fat. So let's say, for example,

0:19.5

you're at the gym, you're doing exercise, you're doing sit-ups, and this midsection just does

0:24.9

not come off no matter what. And when I go to the gym, I do see a lot of people exercising

0:29.6

for months without much loss. And there's also people on keto and people doing intermittent fasting

0:37.4

that still just cannot lose that belly. So today we're going to talk about this really important

0:42.4

barrier in getting your stomach flat, but warning. You may actually not like what I'm about to

0:49.8

tell you. In fact, you may click off after hearing this, but realize I'm going to give you some good

1:18.9

their midsection. And a lot of times they'll hear the concept that pure alcohol is not a carpe.

1:24.8

So therefore it's keto, friendly because ketosis is all about lowering your carbohydrates.

1:31.5

Or maybe they've heard that there's such a thing as keto friendly wine because there's no residual

1:37.8

sugars in the wine because a lot of times wine actually has residual sugars. You know, small amounts,

1:44.0

but they still have sugar. And that also includes a category of mixed drinks with added sugar or

1:49.0

beer that has hidden sugars. But typically if we look at pure alcohol, it's not a carpe.

1:55.4

It's not a sugar. It's something else. It doesn't even necessarily increase your blood sugars

2:02.7

or even insulin directly. Indirectly, it creates very severe insulin resistance, but not directly.
