My Story With Stopping Drinking And Weight Loss
The first time I stopped drinking for an extended period of time, I was relatively fit. I felt healthy, my body-fat was low and I had great energy levels.
However, for those of you that know my story, the first time I stopped drinking, I did it with sheer willpower.
Eventually, my willpower ran out. I started drinking again.
I put on weight and my fitness levels soon diminished. I started feeling sluggish again, my strength deteriorated and I wasn’t looking my best.
But, now that I have stopped drinking again, I have lost the added body-fat and I feel awesome again.
Let me know in the comments if you have lost weight since stopping drinking…
How Many Calories Are In Alcoholic Drinks?
Firstly, alcohol contains calories.
So, by drinking alcohol you are increasing your caloric intake.
If you consistently go over your maintenance calories (or the number of calories you require to maintain your current body weight) you will, unfortunately, put on weight.
So, by drinking alcohol over prolonged periods of time, it can lead to slow and steady weight gain.
Interestingly, alcohol is one of 4 macronutrients.
You heard that right. Alcohol is a macronutrient, just like protein, fats, and carbohydrates. Interesting, right?
However, because alcohol is unnecessary for our survival, it is rarely mentioned in any fitness apps, calorie calculators, and so on.
Alcohol is the second-highest macronutrient - containing 7 calories per gram.
For reference, fat contains 9 calories per gram, and protein and carbohydrates both contain 4 calories per gram.
According to the NHS:
* 175ml glass of 12% wine contains 133 kcal
* A pint of 5% beer contains 239 kcal
* A 330ml bottle of 4% alcopop contains 172kcal
* A double measure of gin contains 95 kcal
Some drinks and cocktails can contain a lot more calories - anywhere up to 500 kcal per drink, depending on how much sugar and mixers are added to them.
So, in other words, we know there are a bunch of calories in alcoholic beverages.
Are Alcohol Calories The Same As Food Calories?
I know what you’re thinking.
If you’re trying to lose weight, why don’t you just count the calories of your drinks and use that to see how much you are consuming each day?

There are many components to quitting drinking including eg motivation and support from peers.
One place I found that succeeds in merging these is the Sebs Magic Tactic (google it if you're interested) definately the most incredible plan i've seen.

Appreciate video content! Apologies for the intrusion, I would love your thoughts. Have you thought about - Saankramer Life Card System (should be on google have a look)? It is a smashing exclusive guide for learning how to stop drinking minus the hard work. Ive heard some super things about it and my mate at last got amazing success with it.
Great Video clip! Apologies for the intrusion, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you tried - Saankramer Life Card System (do a google search)? It is an awesome one of a kind product for learning how to stop drinking minus the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my good mate called Gray after a lifetime of fighting got excellent success with it.
Daily beer drinker for 5 years and I just couldn't take it any longer; the misery, weight gain, self loathing, pancreas pain, spending anywhere from $300-500 a month, and isolating myself while drinking. I am 2 weeks sober and I literally have never felt better. I have already lost 5 pounds but more importantly, my self esteem is through the roof. I have zero desire to drink again. Thank you for your channel!
I'm in the same exact boat brother. On my 3rd day. Been working out to help as well.
I hope both are you are still succeeding (:
I'm on day 64, down 45 lbs. Never think about drinking really
@@theseusc.5475 thank you bro means alot!
I hear that! Same
I'm 7 months sober. I used to drink a 5th a day. I weighed 220 and currently I'm 185. I started skateboarding and doing pushups and staying active. Best decision I ever mad. My life is so much better.
I'm on the 5th a day plan now. Need to quit. I'm 6ft4 and 300lbs......
In my prime I was 220. Good for you. Keep it up. Thanks for the info
A fif! A day... Oh omg
Congratulations man
@@sonicanimalcrazy007 thank you! I'm now a year a month sober from alcohol. Also quit smoking weed 8 days ago. So hard being 100 percent clean but it's not impossible
I’m with you on that! A 5th a day easy! One day I woke up to 5 orders of Burger King lol. It took one day of dehydration and a trip to the ER cause bp was through the roof to put it down. Within 2 wks my body felt normal and lost weight. Never felt better! Keep it up!
I’m close to 100 days sober thanks to the principles this guy preaches. A lot has changed for the better since then. You don’t even realize how much it’s holding you back until it’s gone. So far I’ve lost 45 lbs, my acne is 10% of what it used to be, my mood is much more stable, I’ve finally lost that impending doom feeling in the morning, finances have made a complete 180. Alcohol isn’t worth it y’all
How often do you exercise? Or was the weight loss solely from cutting alcohol?
At 5:00pm today will be 1 week sober, wish me luck
how did you go?
How are things going now?
im 2 weeks sober now and i lost 8 lbs in the first week it’s incredible honestly
Wow! Epic stuff 🙏
245 pounds. Heaviest I’ve ever been. Quit drinking 4 months ago, and now I am 210 pounds. Quitting alcohol does make a big difference. Best decision I’ve ever made!
What were you drinking?
@@jessem166 beer. Lots and lots of beer. Occasionally I’d drink Crown Royal. I’d drink for days at a time back then. Budweiser, and whiskey mixed with a horrible diet. Really messed me up. I should’ve been more specific with my comment, but I lost 15 pounds from quitting drinking alone. Was about 230 lbs and had a horrible diet for awhile after quitting alcohol. I’ve since cleaned up my diet and went into the life of fitness. I’m now 194 lbs. No more pot belly, double chin is gone, man boobs are gone as well. I’m still not where I want to be with my weight and body just yet. But I’m getting there. 6 days from now, I’ll be 7 months alcohol free. I just quit everything man. Was badly addicted to cigarettes also. No special treatments, no AA, no rehab. I just quit. Life has been better after quitting that stuff. Temptations do happen every now and then, but I just try keep myself busy with work, workouts, and house and yard cleaning to get my mind off the thought of having a drink.
@@daveomega7660 Congrats on your success on quitting. I used to be a vodka drinker for a couple years now it's mostly whiskey and brandy 3-4 nights a week. I've had a tendency towards alcohol due to mental health issues with anxiety, depression and dissociation and past traumas like losing my parents. But I'm bloated and feel terrible all the time. Been an on off issue since I'd say early 2017
Go Keto / low carb too. Thank me later!
@@tonymurray814 I have done that actually. It did help. But since I started becoming more active and going back to MMA training and weight lifting, I need the carbs. I unfortunately fell back into alcohol consumption however. But not as much as before. I’ve since been able to control how much I drink, and I never get messed up like I use to. I usually have one or two Crown Royal and Coca-Cola mix or a glass or two of wine here and there. Just to catch a buzz, and not get blackout drunk like I use to.
Day 12. My mood is way better and my skin looks better. Drinking lots of soda water instead, so much more hydrated. This is great info, thank you!
Game changers!
Im also pounding the soda water
I gained 40lbs this year mostly from drinking. 1 week sober already dropped 10lbs. Mostly water weight but still feels good. I could barely get my lifting belt on anymore I was so bloated.
I've been a heavy drinker for about 15 years. I am 6'3" and was up to 295 lbs. I quit drinking 3 months and 6 days ago. I don't miss it at all. I feel so much better! The first couple months there was very little weight loss as I had severe sugar cravings and I indulged myself with sweets. I wasn't really watching the scale but a few weeks ago someone commented on my weight loss. I was down 15 lbs. Today I weighed and I'm down to 270. 25 lbs down. It's crazy because I haven't really done much except eating a little less, especially with those drunk munchies. I've worked out a little but I'm about to ramp that up to keep it going. If you don't lose a lot at first, stick with it. Eventually it will start to fall off like you have a tapeworm lol! Keep it going people! Sober life has so much more to give!
I searched this on RUclips hoping to find an answer to why I haven't lost a pound in 26 days was getting discouraged but I to indulge in sweets more now it's good to know it does come off tho in time
Almost 90 days sober here, have lost 36lbs. I have been dieting and exercising so it's not all due to just cutting out alcohol but believe me, theres no way I would have achieved that if I was drinking/nursing a hangover every other day.. when I drank I drank ALOT and then theres all the eating and inactivity for 2-3 days afterwards too.
Not having to worry that I'm killing myself with the alcohol is the biggest benefit.
Peace of mind is priceless.
What diet and exercise regimen are you doing?
Down 10 lbs in 13 days of sobriety- excited to see where it leads!
Today i bough 6 beers, i took the can from my fridge, sat down and for some random reason i wrote "Stop the drinking" in RUclips search, going through couple videos and holding the unopened can, i thought "Why the heck should i drink this?" Now all those 6 cans are in better place, especially the insides...down to the sink.
@@chewdafat4121 are you challenged? What the hell is wrong with you
@@chewdafat4121 vary nasty behaviour
I'm one week in and feeling noticeably better
Awesome Gilbert! I can imagine!
Still sober? I'm 7 months sober
@@rileydwellington still sober!! Starting keeping myself busy with exercise and reading books! The quarantine itself actually helped building a schedule that turned into structure to keep on path. My addiction was making myself think that my free time should be for drinking, to get rid of the day. But I've learned instead of getting rid of the day, I should take advantage of it.
@@raidenxp3507 hell yeah! I did the same thing, drank to to pass time. Now I stay busy and am getting more used to just chillin and watching TV without getting anxious or restless.
I'm 9 days in, I'm finding it hard
3weeks sober this week and a change in diet and I have lost 8kg already. Couldn't be happier. Thanks for your videos Leon
.
I am on day 4 without any alcohol. But my drinking is super light weight. I haven't been buzzed or drunk in years. I'd only have 1 drink prior to dinner and then go to bed. Why do I want to quit at such low level consumption? Well, I'm getting pretty tired of having my sleep disrupted within a few hours into the night. I'm also an athlete loves to keep in shape and work out. My love for health and fitness is rooted in the idea that I would like to be that old man who doesn't need meds to stay alive. And with sleep being important for the sake of proper recovery, the booze has to be sent packing. I mean seriously......just last night, I slept better than I ever have in quite some time now. Keep up God's work, Leon.
3 weeks off the devil's blood. Binge drank for Years due to childhood trauma and other stuff.... I'm only 37 and I was slowly killing myself and not realising I AM important too and such a caring loving person. I'm so glad I've made this decision and watching vids like this keeps me going thank you!
I'm now fit and healthy for as long as I can remember - you are in control of you.
💓💓💓💓💓
A year sober as of the 2nd of June and lost 3 and a half stone due to getting back into the gym before lockdown. Hope everyone keeps going well, smash it people! You got this!
Fantastic Dan!
That's impressive!
I love watching your videos , I'm a little over a week sober ,still struggling a.bit ,but when I get a craving I watch another one of your videos, I really like how you are so positive and add no shame to the quitting, also how you are direct and honest about what alcohol actually does to your body ,It is poison, thanks leon keep Making new videos ,you are keeping me sober kristen
Thanks Kristen
I've lost loads of weight since quitting drinking. I never even thought drinking was an issue as I would only drink on the weekends for fun. Your whole state of mind changes as well, you sleep better and feel more positive. Only challenge now is going to the pubs after lock down, ill be drinking becks blue when I'm out for sure.
i quit drinking 2 months ago and lost 10 pounds ( without exercise)....I cant believe it ...10 pounds
💗💗💗💗
Why dont you combine that with exercise?
@@NB-sq7ui Why to be negative? One step at once, what she did was great accomplishment.
Good for you!
@@thhtech I don't think N B was trying to be negative, I think they were just trying to help her out. They perhaps could've worded it differently, so I can see both sides.
I stopped drinking 5 days ago. Already down 5 lbs. Started around 215 lbs, 6 foot tall. Hoping to get back down to 160 lbs in the next year or so
You've got this! Let's go 🙌
My 60 year old girlfriend and I went through New Orleans and drank 2 fifths of everclear in 4 days. It was a WILD RIDE!!!!! a few years later, I'm sobering up and she's still living a crazy wild life. She's not happy about my plan to be completely alcohol free for all of 2024.
Gotta do what's best for you
I’m doing sober October and I feel great. This is harder than I thought it would be. One friend quit on the first day. If this goes how I think it will, I’m thinking it’s time to drop drinking for good. It’s brought nothing good into my life.
Stopped drinking 6 months ago lost a total of 79 pounds feel great
that's bullshit.
9 days in of not drinking, and today is Day 4 of weight training.
I am a heavy daily drinker, I've put on fat around my chest, belly, thighs, love handles face ect from this demon of an addiction.
I feel determined currently, just hope I can keep it up as I've always turned back to drinking in the past :(
You can Do it Robert!! Continue to Push thur Mate..
@@deenice5255 thanks for the comment
I forgot all about this post
But since then I did not keep it up,
And a year on I've lost my family, the women I loved, and now living alone and isolated without nobody.
I beg Anyone reading this to try quit why you can.
I used to be one of the "it'll never happen to me" type.
That's just the addiction talking, eventually it takes everything from you
@@robertradford4047 how are you doing now man?
@@aidenwoldridge7552 Hi mate
I'm Doing Fantastic! After rock bottom 15 months ago, I've slowly turned the corner and worked on myself, cut the booze out, Going Gym 4 days a week, Saving money and putting more effort into my job, AND finally ive got the family back that I lost in the first place , Every day keeps getting better and better, Month upon Month, I'm a complete changed person... I actually look back at my dark times at being the best thing that actually happened to me , I would not have grown as a person without loosing everything and being forced to take a good hard look at myself in the mirror !
@@robertradford4047fk yea man that's good to hear! Keep at bro u got this
Tomorrow I will be 7 days sober 🤞🏻 still intensly craving a drink
I've been sober since New Year's 2022.I had forgotten how GREAT it felt being sober.Ive been eating better, lost about 35 pounds & constantly feeling motivated by your videos.Thank u
I was a heavy drinker for 10 years 15-30 drinks 3-4 days a week. I gained 60 pounds and developed a vitamin B1 deficiency along the way. Been sober for several months and getting healthier everyday!
im stopped drinking beer and mixed liquor for 4 months now . i lost about 25pounds.
Are you still drinking wine? Or I’m I misinterpreting your comment? I’m on day one, gotta start somewhere.
Hey man, I randomly stumbled on your channel and saw a video where you mentioned "The easy way to control alcohol." I decided to order it for the hell of it. Figured why not, it might help. And man, it blew my mind. I ended up ordering 3 more copies to give to friends and co-workers, granted I don't think any of them have read it yet. Either way, I don't know if I would have found that book without your videos, so I just wanted to say thank you. I know you don't get a whole ton of views but I believe that book will have been a big turning point in my life. THANK YOU!
Hell yeh! Awesome. Keep on going bro!
I loved wine- I commonly drank 1-3 glasses a day and the occasional binge party night. I stopped drinking 12 days ago and I feel amazing. I wish I would have done this before. I have no desire to go back. The weight is also finally coming off (2 lbs in 12 days but if you knew me that was impossible when I was drinking!) I eat healthy and exercise daily.
Boom! Nice one!
I was on 4 sports teams during high school and college. After I turned 18, I started drinking regularly and put on weight. I’m 22 now and although I’m not obese or fat, my body is not as good as it once was. I’m stopping drinking for at least 3 months, exercising everyday and intermittent fasting. I’ll see what I look like after 2 months and change my diet when I get my body back. Great video 👏🏽
Top work Cady!
3weeks sober 🎉
After drinking vodka, wine and beers to a crazy degree every week (I guess a minimum of 4 or 5 bottles of vodka a week, 4 bottles of wine and 10 beers) I hit rock bottom and I stopped 7 days ago. Alcohol stops you doing so many positive things like working out or just being a generally active person. People speak a lot as though the alcohol is doing these things by design, almost attaching human qualities to the substance...for me that's an easy way out...I had to recognise the use of alcohol was a by product of where I'm at in my life right now and the easy way to escape my own displeasure with my own life was to drink. Well, I've decided to take back control and face life head on. Wish me luck
One week sober my sleeping pattern is getting back to normal I’ve been doing fasting for a year now and I’m hoping to lose a bit more weight now that I’m sobering up. Had to stop due to high blood pressure
I quit drinking in January 2023 and now September 2023 I've lost 12lbs and look way more fit. Initially I was startled by it. But apparently this is what happens so I appreciate it overall.
For me getting sober is not an issue but staying sober is
I'm currently battling alcoholism. Am only 3 days in. Going to AA 5 times a week. Am looking forward to the change in my life for the good. Thanks for all the info
@Greg B I dont intend too. I'm committed
as a former athlete when i turned 21 i started going out 2x a week and when i’ll drink. I’ll have 5-6 shots in one night. And i stopped working out. I did not get fat, but i use to be very in shape. Done drinking and back in the gym.
Im down from 200 pounds to 185 in 7 months. But I still drink 2 liters of vodka on the weekend. I still drink way too much, but its nice to see my (weekday) abstinence physically. I also feel so much better during the week, 5 hours of sleep without drinking is easily better than 12 hours of sleep after drinking.
I have been watching RUclips videos about stopping drinking and it has helped me get a good understanding about alcohol. I can’t wait to start to reap the health benefits from stopping drinking. I’m ready for a new me.
I've been off the beer for two weeks now. I was a daily drinker (all day, every day - about a pint an hour) and my appetite was tiny. I think because my stomach was always processing the liquid, I never really felt hungry, and when I did eat I was full after a few mouthfuls. Since stopping drinking my appetite has come back a bit, but I'm surprised at how much I'm craving sweet/chocolate stuff. Jam Wagon Wheels are my current 'go to' snack. While I was drinking I never used to touch chocolate. So while I'm not pumping in the calories through alcohol, I'm eating miles more sweet stuff then I ever used to.
I was about 77/80kg when I stopped drinking. Gonna weigh myself after 4 weeks and see what the deal is.
Good on you...Keep us posted
How are you doing now? X
Same here, but also eating a bit if chocolate as a treat for not drinking. Thus is only my first week, though.
I hope you are doing well now.
Yes I actually had ice cream last night. I forgot I liked ice cream, im always so busy drinking I never enjoyed things like that anymore.
I'm 12 weeks in an never looking back go to much life to live an have lost bout 20 lbs getting shredded actually an my sex life is thru the roof increased testosterone and all never second guess a great decision guys an gals be blessed!!! 💙
Quality! Thanks for sharing!
Just a reminder for anyone on this journey not to let your dieting get in the way of your sobriety. I found the first few times, I would often get a real urge to drink again when I was feeling really tired - it took me a while to figure out that often what I needed was just a good meal. The weight loss will come naturally if you stay off the beers, and there's no rush to lose the weight.
I'm now one week sober and i feel great!
I started eating healthy to.
Your video motivated me.
I want this to last forever.
I month , I think, alcohol free. Pants are looser. Losing weight bc I'm actually awake most of the day to do house work, gardening, playing with my dog, and not filling up empty calories,, from liquor and junk food.. etc
I’m on my second night of stopping drinking, I’v drank solidly everyday for a few years now. I drink usually 8 cans a night. Got to say I’m just bored a fuck without the beer
Search ‘Bored After Quitting Drinking Leon’
Thanks mate
After some time you will start to channel your energy into other things. I got myself a little exercise bike. Plonked it in front of the tv. And binge tv Whilst exercising. Maybe my eyes will suffer.. but well during lockdown..... this is the best I got. Books will help too
@@konstantin9638 thanks , i walk a lot each day usually around 7-10 miles per day in the English country side, but I take four cans with me. I’m gradually trying to cut down one can at a time. It’s early days and this lockdown shit doesn’t help but I’ll keep trying anyway.
I'm 3 days sober!!! Thanks for your videos
Let's gooo 💪
Better than a mentor or coach this guy is a superhero !
Love love love....I take so much from this channel and will always drop a comment to promote your vids.....this channel.and your coaching has changed my life....best thing I've ever done.... can't thank you enough....😊
Thanks so much Helen
14 days today , never felt better after 5 years of drinking everyday. Missing beer but not worth the feeling
Top work!
I used to Drink A LOT and had to get away from bad influence like my parents who also Drink. I used to drink when i was bored, feeling depressed or just Drink away my emotions. I‘m still struggeling but just have to keep saying NO!! I‘ve now had no alcohol for 2 Months and also lost a Lot of weight because of it. once i understood that it was poison for my body and mind it seemed easier to let go. But alcohol is still constantly on my mind i Hope that will change with time.
Thank you for this video, I am 2 weeks sober but i am defiantly struggling.
I stopped alcohol and started smoking weed on the weekends! I lost 40lbs in 6 months
Day 7, feeling good. Just finished workout.
To all you alcoholics.. I'm glad to hear u stopped, I'm trying myself before it kills me.. I'm going to do it. For me,family, and our lord God.. thank u..
I believe you can do it! 🙌🙏
First day is today please pray for me.
Day one! Fed up with relapsing all the time ugh 😩
How you doing now?
Sober Leon failed on day two and haven’t stopped again since.
@@Seraphin.a I know the feeling
5th day sober for me 🙏
My reason for cutdown was not cause of weight it was cause I wanted to cutdown drinking alone . last consumption of alcohol at home was 7/10/21 and last purchased of alcohol at grocery 7/1/21 . Last time I’ll ever drink alone out with roommate was Friday . I’m just so bored of drinking alone . My cutdown was mainly for my in home drinking . Last weekend I didn’t drink alone at my parents while dog sitting even know alcohol was sitting in refrigerator . That was my next alone goal I passed my own test
I used to drink alcohol over a long period of time but when i left alcohol i lost almost my 12 kg in 7 month . M very thin now 😔
I have been one month sober. For the last 2 weeks and currently, I have been experiencing anxiety and depression. It feels like there is a small voice in my head telling me that I will never be free of alcohol. The depression hits me at different times of the day. My thoughts spiral downwards when depression hits me at work. I start to cry even when nothing had triggered it. I hate it when this happens. I don't know how to handle feeling this way.
Pray to jesus. He will answer you . he strenghtend me to turn away from being a drunkard.
I hear you and I’m here for you
Decided to go sober 5 days ago and I've lost like 4ibs and feel less sluggish.
100 days without alcohol not lost a single pound at the moment. Was a Friday and Saturday night drinker.
Try fasting
I’ve been sober for 45 days, no weight loss at all 🤷♀️ I’ve found that alcohol massively effected my menstrual cycle, and hormones therefore effecting my weight.
any news?
Get on keto OMAD
Me too. During the luteal phase I'd have mammoth craving for red wine. It was horrific and made me relapse. When drinking my weight goes up by 3kg in that phase and my breast so painful.
I decided to try again and stopped straight after my last cycle. That way I'll have a good 3 /4 weeks before I get to that dreaded luteal phase and those horrendous red wine craving
Found Allen Carr's book trough your channel when i was in really bad hungover, thank you for that!
I'm 12 days sober and my joint pains have disappeared😊
I bet!
Thank you Leon😌 I like the way you break down our addiction and show it for what it really is!
freaking awesome!! im on day 7 still feeling joint pains but i believe any one of these days im going to wake up and the pain is going to be gone. God willing 🙏
Unfortunately, I have had a sugar craving at night since quitting alcohol. I had no withdrawals but do tend to desire some sugar at night, which I need to stay away from As it defeats the weight loss results from not drinking!
Cool! Thanks a lot for this 1...
No worries James!
24 days sober today and lost 13 pounds
Hi Leon you mentioned a book in a previous video that helped you stop. I also read a book called “This Naked Mind” by Annie Grace. I haven’t had a drink in 5 weeks this Sunday since reading it! Feel so so good
Quality! Thanks for the update!
Sober Leon Love watching your videos mate keep it up man
That book helped me too ten months sober now, not looking back!
I get up drinking vodka shots.. then by 10 or 12 at night I would eat alot and then go to bed..nxt day the Same thing???? I can't do it anymore..wen I drink every day, the nxt day "in the morning " I poop good... ....but wen I don't drink I don't poop????? Wats that about???
just putting in a comment here to help your channel. Have a great weekend ;-)
Well, aren't you a nice person. Thanks!
I gave up drinking 'Old Crafty Hen' (6.5%) 3 weeks ago after drinking for most of my life. I was drinking 5 bottles a night, 7 days a week. The problem I have now is that I have constipation, hopefully it will sort itself out?
I've noticed after the last 20 days of no beer at all that I'm not craving protein, but I am eating a lot of chicken and steak?? Is this possibly subconscious that I know that I have to do this??
I quit sugar a few months ago, I lost 20 lbs, I’m mainly stopping for my energy depression myself my family, I just need the push to continue
I am going to give it a try. I noticed that on nights that I have alcohol I be one really hungry and on nights that I don't I just drink water and go to sleep.
Nice!
14 days sober
I drink a fifth a day, and 2-3 coronas or bud light limes along with it.. it's bad.. real bad.. Now, I still go to work daily, and I maintain my bills, and so forth... but I don't have a social life anymore, and I gave the gym up and have started eating more unhealthy foods.. I'm definitely starting my sobriety journey today.. I'm 34 now, and I've done it before so I know I can do it again.
Do it bro I’m on day 11 and I feel great!
Nothing works. I’ve stopped drinking and there has been no weight change. Stopping drinking was in addition to a drastic change to my diet
I actually gained weight, because all I was getting were empty calories and not eating well, now I'm eating and working out, sober for two months now and pretty sure I won't go back to it, it really is poison
I have always been a heavy drinker. It's in my genes. I don't know how to get through this covid shit. I work from home during the week, but come Friday night, out comes the Chivas and beers. Until I'm leathered. Any tips?
How you doing now?
7 days sober
Crushing it
1 month sober down 8 pounds
Can't wait for results day 2 sober off alcohol not off weed tho haha
You don’t need will. Just stop plain and simple. Change your goals & identity, not that hard. Drank 10+ years stopped one day to another and never thought twice about it.
If you stop drinking alcohol it's a good decision. But you have to develop a new healthy habit to replace alcohol. It's a matter of will power.
I calculated how many calories I was consuming per week. About 13,000. I quit a couple weeks ago. I've already lost 6 lb. I eat like a hippie, but I drink like a sailor. Once I stop drinking, it just falls off. Feels great.
I like that..that's me..eat like a hippie but drink like a sailor. I had about 6 months of sobriety 2 years ago and I lost at least 35 lbs.. all of which has come back. On Day 2 of this new sober journey and never looking back.
@@tarahall3551 I can't do sober. I try to keep it to the weekends. When I go completely sober, I go insane. I think weaning ourselves off of it is such a better idea than trying to go cold turkey. Good luck to you. Enjoy fitting in your favorite jeans again. Lol.
I haven't drank 10 days. I was in the hospital from colitis for a few days. I noticed I'm starting to to lose weight.
Off beer for just over a week. Last year I went 79 days alcohol free until after a boxing match I was training for, and soon as it was over I went right back to the bottle. Now, I wanna try and stay off booze permanently.
Stopped drinking ...I am on day 17....no weight loss yet... I am following a good diet ...1500 calories... and exercising 2 hrs 5 days a week...still no weight loss...what do I do...age 33...weight 80 kgs height 5'11
I was stuck in several cycles. I didnt eat properly because i was never hungry in the morning because of the beer from night before. but at night i would drink beer to fill me up. I couldnt sleep bc i didnt get enough exercise bc i had no energy from drinking, which also helped me sleep
Great video man, I needed this.
I haven’t seen any ads on your videos. I hope you’re monetized - this is good content! lol
Drinking my last beer before starting a new week without alcohol. Determined to lose the beer weight.
Fuck it, I'm done drinking. Thank you for your help. Gonna start jump roping and trampolining for fun and weight loss.
Here in 2024! 2 Days sober! Great video
Day 5 sober! But I scared it’s going to get a lot harder because right now it’s been easy🥺🥺😭
*i’m
Question, how do you feel about non alcholic beer? I've been having a few to ease the transition, or is it as bad?
I don’t touch it
