red wine and dieting - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

philipebrown · 11-11-2004, 01:09 PM

Have heard that red wine has certain fat burning properties and have heard of some bodybuilders having a glass or two on an evening leading up to competition. I know that Franco Columbo used to have a glass every night to help him relax, plus its meant to be high in certain vits and minerals.

Any thoughts. Would a glass every night hamper or help your diet?

I heard the same thing about red wine coming up to competion.

As I'm not competing I'll stick with my 8 pints of carling on a thursday night.

Red wine is good for the digestion especially red meats and protein digestion so a small glass on an evening would be beneficial for a while

maybe a small glass 3-4 nights a week then.

wine can be used the night before a show as a diuretic

any good for dieting in general?

not in my opinion

if you want to aid digestion a little pineapple and grapefruit in the morning and digestive enzyme tabs with every meal
