Since you can't turn it all into glucose, you can't refill your glycogen stores with it. Every gram of glycogen comes with 3 grams of water. You'll end up losing a lot of water weight in a few days even if you're in a calorie excess because of the relatively low carbohydrate profile of this diet. If you drink enough wine, the sugar from the wine will allow you to rebuild your glycogen stores so that's why this diet limits it to a bottle. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Donkter@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago I keep telling my parole officer this but he won't listen. permalink fedilink source parent [–] AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 years ago I mean, at least the wine and coffee have some antioxidants. permalink fedilink source parent [–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago 3 eggs is a lot of empty protein permalink fedilink source parent
