Alcohol

Alcohol is a lot of fun and hard to not play with when out and about. Here are a few tips and suggestions on how to make sure you’re drinking smart.

Just so you know, a glass of wine a day is said to help with weight loss! The alcohol actually helps prevent weight gain, and is a small (but still a source) of antioxidants.

The problem with drinking alcohol is what you mix with it. Stay away from juices and pops. Soda water, and water with lemon or lime has great flavor and helps reduce calorie intake as opposed to the usual vodka 7’s. water also helps hydrate you, while liquor tends to dehydrate you so the chances of waking up with a hangover are slim.

Beer is a big N-O when trying to lose weight. The yeast takes a lot longer leave your stomach and builds up while drinking causing a bloating feeling.

Next time you’re thinking of what to drink leave the mix at home and replace it with some water and keep conscious of your levels of intoxication. Most importantly, be safe.
