When trying to lose weight, we all try to cut out carbs and fat but we sometimes forget about another culprit, alcohol. Alcohol not only is linked to obesity but it also increases the risk of heart disease and causes at least 7 types of cancer.
But like all things, moderation is key but some people have quit alcohol altogether and their weight loss before and after photos are jaw-dropping. I personally tried to quit drinking the occasional beer earlier this year but based on these inspiring before and after weight loss photos, I’ll definitely try again!
