Letās talk about why you canāt lose belly fat. If youāre exercising, doing keto and intermittent fasting, and you still canāt get rid of belly fatāthis may be why.
One of the top things that will stop you from losing belly fat is alcohol consumption.
You may have heard of keto-friendly wine or that pure alcohol is keto-friendly. Pure alcohol is not a carb or sugar and doesnāt directly increase your blood sugar or insulin. However, indirectly, it can create severe insulin resistance.
Liver cells treat alcohol like poison and try to get rid of it. The toxicity of the alcohol injures the liver cells and can even kill them. During this process, you develop fat in the liver cells, which can lead to a fatty liver.
With a fatty liver, you can also experience inflammation and scarring in the liver. Chronic inflammation and scarring can then cause cirrhosis and increase your risk of liver cancer and other liver problems.
Alcohol also blocks your ability to burn fat. Donāt expect to burn fat for 48 to 72 hours after alcohol consumption. Itās a source of empty calories and depletes important nutrients.
Youāve probably heard that there are certain benefits of drinking alcohol in moderation. But, recently, theyāve found that was only a marketing tactic, and there are no benefits to drinking alcohol.
Alcohol also has negative effects on other parts of the body, including:
ā¢ The brain
ā¢ The endocrine system
ā¢ The gut microbiome
ā¢ The heart
ā¢ Estrogen production in men (increases estrogen and decreases testosterone)
Itās crucial to realize the negative effects of alcohol and consider the real reasons youāre drinking alcohol, like stress. Many natural things can help you reduce stress. If you canāt give up alcohol, try diluting it with sparkling water.
If you take milk thistle before drinking, it can help protect the liver against poison and can help support the liver. Kombucha tea with low amounts of sugar is also a great alternative to alcohol and gives you a nice, relaxed feeling.

Anybody else relieved that Dr. Berg said āAlcoholā instead of ācoffeeā?! š Love my morning āļø

Former alcoholic here. The best thing I ever did was stop drinking 8 years ago. It not only impacted my physical health, but my mental health. It's especially hard to stop drinking in Australia where it seems that no social event is complete without alcohol - and any excuse for a drink will do. Here, people are expected to drink. Which is why I'm proud that I've stayed alcohol free for so long now. I don't miss it at all and I feel so much better - physically and mentally. š

Iām alcohol free for almost 2 weeks. Itās tough but Iām pushing through š©
-
good for you. 16 sober years here, still alive. 16 years of finally enjoying life and everything is not everybody elses fault any more. š
-
Age 42, never had alcohol or cigarettes in my life. I saw it destroy lots of family members in my youth and friends as I aged. Prayers for those wanting to be free from these poisons.
-
I found that carb cravings and alcohol cravings are just about identical. Quitting carbs made it so much easier to quit alcohol.
-
40 days free today. Today was especially hard for some reason. Came across this video at just the right time. Thank you. I hope this gets easier
-
Prayers for continued success to people who stopped drinking and prayers to the families that lost loved ones due to alcohol.
-
I have been an alcoholic for about 12 years, and recently stopped. Still fighting cravings, and came across this video at the perfect time. A great reminder why I needed to stop and STAY stopped.

This is spot on. A few years back, my wife tried to go Keto and could not lose weight. I told her it had to be all the wine she was drinking. Fast forward to today, she quit drinking cold turkey a year ago and recently tried Keto again. In 2.5 months, she's down 20 pounds. None of this surprises me. Berg has it right.
-
Thank you doctor for being a doctor who genuinely wants to help people by discussing the truths behind well-being.
-
When you gave the warning about potentially clicking off the video, my immediate reaction was to tune in even fuller than I was already. I'm on your side lol.

Well, I was born in Italy in a farm family. My parents produced their own wine and enjoy it till the last day of their life (both well over 90 years old). Moderation, life-style, healthy diet, and low stress rate make the real difference. I have never seen my parents carrying any sign of overgrown belly. However, I yet wish to thank you for your extremely helpful videos that I and will certainly keep watching.

My only complaint with losing all this weight, and getting toned is the money I've spent on a whole new wardrobe. 36 waist to 32/31. Fitted button downs, new shoes, etc. Walking on air is empowering. Thank you, DR.
-
I quit drinking alcohol about 3 and a half years ago. Lockdown enabled me to tackle the first stretch without social pressure, which I felt lucky about at the time. Really the best decision Iāve ever made and I donāt look back. My skin improved, my weight improved, my mental health improved and so did my general approach and feeling towards life and those around me. Recommend it as a life choice for anyone and everyone
-
One of the many perks for me after I stopped drinking was being able to get back into church on Sunday morning because before I was to hungover from Sat nights. I'll never go back.
-
As a 68-year-old female, there are not enough happy face emojis to express my joy of being alcohol-free. I still have a pouch in my belly but no joint inflammation and my brain is so clear. Best thing I EVER did - mentally, physically and spiritually.
-
Ditch alcohol completely and youāll feel great
-
Iām trying to stop drinking. Great video, some great reasons why I should and Iāll definitely try some of your ideas. Thanks š šš¼

At 66, I stopped smoking. At 67, I started intermittent fasting and eating better to lose some weight. At 68, I have stopped drinking (probably should have done that 2nd). One day it just hit me that for someone who is obese with mild emphysema, intermittent gout (using Mitigare for flare ups), colitis (using Stelara injections every 8 weeks), and sleep apnea (using Bi-Pap for 8 years), I wasn't doing my part. (Talk about a light bulb going off!) If I wanted to enjoy what years I had left as happy and healthy as I could be, rather than in pain, disease, at Doctor's offices or the hospital, I needed to do my part! I needed to cut out the smoking, drinking and eat better. And any time I am tempted to regress, I think of this. I don't know where the strength is coming from except, I've been praying a lot for help with these three issues. In any event, "someone" is helping me. I may not be able to reverse all the wear and tear on my body and my conditions, but I continue to feel healthier. To better health, one step at a time.
