Despite common wisdom that reducing alcohol intake will facilitate weight loss, little research has examined whether participants in behavioral weight loss treatments actually decrease their alcohol intake, or whether reduced alcohol intake relates to weight loss outcomes in this context.
One study examined the relationship of alcohol use to energy intake excluding alcohol and to weight in 283 overweight and obese adults participating in a 26-session behavioral weight loss treatment. The majority of participants consumed low to moderate levels of alcohol. Male participants who consumed alcohol meaningfully reduced their weight fractionally by end-of-treatment.
Alcohol use did not relate to weight loss, and change in alcohol use was related to actual weight gain in women in the overall sample during treatment.
So there. Now ya know...
