Forbidden food?

Kupla71

I don’t drink alcohol often but how detrimental is it to weight loss to have a glass of red wine or a beer? I’ve started having one with lunch recently.

The only thing that is detrimental to weight loss is consuming too many calories.

In my opinion, having forbidden foods is detrimental to long term weight management. Weightloss is down to having a consistent calorie deficit, but also about having that over time, and you can't deprive yourself forever.

Like any food or drink: accurately log it and consistently be at your calorie goal.

If it fits your calorie goal and you are still consuming a nutritionally adequate diet then it shouldn't affect your results.

Yeah. I have a very healthy diet otherwise and I’m still under my calorie goal for the day with the wine so good to hear!

Lunch? Like just on the weekend?
I'd probably be a much better co-worker after a glass of wine at lunch LOL

Thanks for all the comments. Lol. But true. Everything in moderation. It’s okay to have a cookie or piece of cake or a glass of wine as long as you’re sticking to a healthy diet most of the time. One has to enjoy life.
