    Leangains.com has a great article on this. While you are drinking your body will prioritize the alcohol, which cannot be stored as weight, but will store any excess glucose.... therefore, do not drink and carb.

    In my 20's, yes very possible and did it all the time. Still kept my slim curvy shape, flat stomach, no problem.

    Now in late 30's, had to quit due to me slimming down everywhere but stomach wasn't going down like I'm used to. Now stomach is going down and I'm losing weight everywhere, proportionally, like I'm used to.

    I drink in moderation. I drink hard alcohol and it is typically straight, on the rocks, with water or with coffee; depending on my goals for the evening. Drinking has drawbacks, but I enjoy life and I am not a stage competitor. It's your call, but if you drink, do it smarter and in moderation. Just my opinion...

    You know, I've actually cut out alcohol 30 days now...and can see a huge difference in my body. I'm not nearly as bloated in the morning. And I can start to see some definition coming through. Plus I just feel better. I do believe alcohol can be a roadblock with weightloss.

    If your needing to cut back on food just to drink wine then I would be questioning why wine is more important than the nutrition in food.

    Whats wrong with just a few glasses of wine a week ?

    :grumble: :grumble: Wine IS food and so IS beer :noway: :noway:
