To lose weight, some dieters might choose to follow a structured diet plan to help them know what to eat. Other might cut out certain food groups from their diet to help them beat the bulge. As well as this, those trying to shape up might decide to ditch alcohol, but they may not need to. In fact, drinking wine in the evening might actually help with weight loss, according to research.
How does it work?
Drinking wine at night can stop the body from storing fat cells, according to research at Washington State University and Harvard.
The studies reveal there is a chemical in wine called resveratrol which works to keep the body slim.
The chemical in the wine does this by stopping fat cells from gaining more fat, which helps dieters keep their weight in check.
This is said to work best when wine is drank at night, as the calories from the tipple keep slimmers feeling fuller which means they are less likely to have late night snacks.
How much should slimmers drink?
The studies recommend a generous amount of wine in order to reap the maximum benefits.
Drinking at least two glasses of wine a day can help beat obesity by 70 percent, it was shown.
What’s more, a study carried out at the University of Denmark found people who drank everyday had a slimmer waistlines than those who didn’t.
In another weight gain study of 20,000 people at Harvard, it was revealed that out of all the people who gained weight, none of them were drinkers.
