| lorishemek | In excess, Alcohol it can lead to overeating, and alcohol temporarily keeps your body from burning fat. #diabeteschat |
| dietexpertnj | Excess alcohol is not only a source of excess calories, but can also stimulate appetite #diabeteschat |
| lorishemek | So when drinking, fat burn stops and a surplus of carbs, protein, and fat circulating in the body that is stored as fat. #diabeteschat |
