Alcohol, HR and sweating

I figured the sweats were behind me, but maybe they are not after all.

When alcohol is oxidized it creates a short thermic bump yet at the same time it stops fat oxidation. The acetate that builds up halts lipolysis, so the body uses the alcohol for heat and energy and puts fat burning on pause. That means I gave up fat burning just to have the drink? Hopefully it clears fast so I can get back to it.

From what I understand the GIP part of reta is three times stronger per milligram than in tirzepatide, so one milligram of reta is like adding three milligrams of tirzepatide's GIP effect. Tirzepatide has also been shown to raise energy expenditure for a while and improve fat oxidation early on, largely because of that GIP activity.

Thanks skidoc!

It does clear fairly fast. When I followed Atkins I found I could return to ketosis soon after the alcohol was gone, and clear spirits seemed to disturb it less than beer.

I used that idea in the past to excuse drinking on keto. The calories supposedly do not count once you factor in thermogenesis, though I never really believed it.
