I dropped 20 pounds… lol!!
Nice! What did you do for it?
Cutting the yeast from the beer and the sugar from my mixed drinks, automatically put my body on a diet. So I swapped sodas and beer with real squeezed fruit Juice and Water. Then drinking healthy led to eating more healthy.
Sooo looking forward to this happening! Empty calories from drinks, eating bad food the next day, and laying around are all the perfect storm for 
! Totally messes up gut health and metabolism as well.
I did not, but I was drinking so much that I wasnt eating. I was essentially malnourised. It wasn't pretty. Now I might carry a few extra pounds, but I'm nourished and healthy. I feel strong, my hair has started to grow again and my skin looks better.

Honestly, I gained and then lost. My body took all it needed plus extra to replace the complete lack of nutrition I had in my diet. Then it had shed what it didn't need.

I lost a lot of weight early, because of water and I was put on a low sodium diet that I didn’t care for. My body was in pretty bad shape. Then I gained a bunch once I got off the diet. lol Now with the fitness I do I’m back down. Net net I’m where I should be, but it’s the right kind of weight. I am fit now, not skinny yet bloated like I was.
5 pounds in 3 weeks
Yes definitely! Your body cannot digest alcohol so it needs to burn the alcohol off and out of your body before it can start burning fat cells again.
Sweet. So my body will naturally get to its weight once it’s cleansed. Got it.
I actually gained weight due to being underweight when I got sober. I put on about 45 pounds. Then I dropped about 20 once I started eating and exercising. What’s been really awesome is I’ve been able to maintain my weight now that I’m being mindful of what, when and how much I eat.
