When I change my alcohol consumption from once a week, more than 2 drinks to NEVER it goes from 81.5 to 83.5. Then when I change it to drink but never more than two drinks it goes to 83.5.
The lesson of this exercise. Being fat isn't a big deal. Drink - just not heavily. |
That's horrible advice. If you are 300 lbs, your odds of developing Type II diabetes go through the roof. That alone will significantly decrease your life expectancy, especially if you aren't adherent to your regimen and don't maintain adequate control of your blood glucose, which is but one complication.
