Diet : Does a glass of wine help you lose weight faster ?

A news that makes you want to raise your glass… red wine. Rather than deprive yourself of this little pleasure or drink soups in the morning, noon and night, you can start drinking a glass of red wine before going to bed to lose weight !

According to the book " 4 hours a week for a body of hell " Timothy Ferriss — an American author and blogger that I particularly appreciate —, a glass of wine would reduce the desire to snack in the evening and promote better monitoring of the diet.

Study confirms benefits of red wine

This is certainly news that will brighten up the day for all wine lovers ! Based on a study by the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry, a small glass of red wine before going to sleep would be beneficial for weight loss. Researchers had fun exposing a liver and fat cells to chemicals from muscadine grapes, a variety from the southeastern United States. One of the compounds, called elagic acid, slowed the growth of existing fat cells as well as the formation of new ones. This compound therefore seems a good way to fight obesity and associated disorders, such as fatty liver disease — when the liver is too fatty —.

A previous study, conducted this time on obese mice, had demonstrated the effectiveness of a diet with Pinot Noir extracts. Mouse livers that consumed the human equivalent of one and a half glass of grape juice per day had accumulated less fat than mice that did not consume it.

The testimonies of women who have lost weight with wine

This study, reported by the Daily Mail, seems to be confirmed by the testimony of several women who have lost weight thanks to wine. The British newspaper reports the testimony of Linda Monk, who claims to have lost 3 kg in 3 weeks drinking a glass of wine every night before bedtime.

The glass of wine would have saved him from the urge to snack after dinner, something she did systematically before bedtime. Another testimony, this time by Samantha Merrit, who reports being able to "refuse a dessert without problem, and treat yourself with one or two glasses of wine four nights a week". Wine would also allow him to reduce his stress and therefore sleep better. A Harvard University study conducted on 20’000 women showed that obesity risks were lower among those who drank wine. By the way, at a conference held in Prague, researchers said drinking red wine every night would reduce diabetes of type 2.
