Trying to lose a few pounds by April

Besides working out, will releasing alcohol help me lose weight ?

It might not happen immediately though. The liver is important for breaking down fats for energy. If our liver is damaged it won’t do this efficiently and we will retain those fat cells. Give your liver time to heal and then the weight should start to come off more easily than it did before. I believe it is around 3 weeks for a fully regenerated liver. It just depends on how damaged it was. It could be more. Last time I was sober for any extended period of time I think it was about 3-4 weeks before I lost ANYTHING but then I lost several pounds quite quickly.

I’ve noticed a slight weight gain at first which is probably due to rehydration. Then after a few days I notice my pants fitting a little more loose and the scale confirms it.

My weight is slowly dropping but first week or so put on loads because when drinking didn’t eat much vodka was my first choice before food thankfully all behind me

Definitely! Just watch how many calories you’re taking in. Your body will be looking for the lost calories that it got from alcohol.
