Alcohol and NBE
October 21 2008 at 3:48 AM greecemonkey (Login greecemonkey)
Just wondering if alcohol affects nbe. I usually have a nightly glass of red wine in the evening, and a few beers in the wkend (on the odd occasion a bit more than a few
) Im a social smoker so on avg maybe 10-15 cigs a week.
Does anyone know about this? Also, will I have to give up chocolate?????
Cheers

Alcohol raises dopamine which inhibits prolactin which is counterproductive to NBE. There are other factors as well, such as the hops content in some beers. But I'd say that the amount you are taking is negligible as far as NBE goes. If you have what appears to be a good program (including the time of year) but are getting no results, you could try eliminating alcohol and see what the effect is.
Good luck!

About the chocolate, sugar inhibits the work of the herbs. It is recommended to cut right back or cut out sugar altogether. For me this has been hard. I try to have only 1 or 2 sweet things a day and I am getting growing signs. Goodluck from one chocolate lover to another Jojox

I have been having a hard time with the sugar as well! I've basically been getting my sweet fix by adding brown sugar to my tea rather than munching on chocolate

I'd try it WITH sugar before without - God! How can you even reduce your sugar intake?! Only thing keeping me going at the moment is the thought of the fry up I want before work tomorrow and the cakes I'll snack on during the day! I just get depresesed and mean without a fatty / sweet diet.

I'm disappointed if the hops in beer isn't a benefit to NBE.
