Drinking Tequila Can Help You Lose Weight!

#1 It's All In The Agave Plant

Agave is used to make tequila the wonderful beverage that we all know and love, and that same ingredient can cause you to lose weight...while your'e drunk!

#2 The Secret Is In The Syrup

According to a new study, Agavins, a natural form of sugar found in the agave plant, are non-digestible and can act as a dietary fiber, so they would not raise blood glucose. Agavins are a type of natural sugar which can be used to make tequila. These sugars (which are not the same as in the more commonly known agave syrup) are non-digestible and do not raise blood sugar.

#3 The GLP-1 Suppresses Appetite And Increases Insulin Levels

In addition, according to a recent study by the American Chemical Society (ACS), sugars found in the plant that makes tequila could lower blood glucose levels for people with type 2 diabetes, and help obese people lose weight, researchers say. GLP-1 is a hormone that slows the stomach from emptying, and stimulates production of insulin.

#4 There Are No Known Side Effects

GLP-1 is the key ingredient that causes you to feel full much longer, as it slows the emptying process in your belly. Agavins are not expensive and they have no known side effects, except for those few people who cannot tolerate them. Recent tests on lab mice shows that they lost weight when any type of sugars were replaced with the agavin syrup.

#5 You'll Feel Fuller

Pretty much what agavins do is help people feel fuller, which could lead them to eat less, and feel healthier, according to the study. Unlike other sugars, the GLP-1 agavin sweetener does not digest as quickly and do not produce fat cells.

"This puts agavins in a tremendous position for their consumption by obese and diabetic people," the study authors write. "We believe agavins have a great potential as an alternative light sweetener."

#6 Jose Cuervo You Are A Friend Of Mine

I like to drink you with a little salt and lime... It turns out that the tequila brand Jose Cuervo contains the most natural agavins and is alleged to be the most effective tequila alternative for these seeking to slim down and feel healthy.

#7 A Shot At Getting Lean

Although we're not telling you to go drink tequila like there's no tomorrow, at least now you won't feel as guilty after that extra shot you shouldn't have had!
