Alcohol and Dieting

cassandra77

Just wondering what everyone does when they are dieting and want a drink. I usually have a few beers every weekend with my husband but this week I wasn't sure what I was gonna do as I am trying to lose weight. So my husband came home with some Bud Selects! Only 55 Calories each!

alcohol and dieting are mutually exclusive events sadly :frown:

Much better than my bottle of wine a night habit!

In my experience I had to quit drinking to lose weight. Drinking even a couple times a week stopped all weight loss. I tried all ways around it all in the name of really wanting to drink. It just didn't work. I went as far as when I would drink eat only 500 calories...... I tried it all now after no weight loss for 2 mos and my new years resolution I am back to not drinking and again losing.

I try not to drink too much as it is nothing but empty cals but I do enjoy having beer every once inawhile and Bud Select is a good one when dieting!! :drinker: So just enjoy but in moderation

I typically have a glass of wine each night, and have never had a problem with it. In fact, when I've tried laying off the wine, I wind up gaining. I think I snack more!

You just have to fiddle and see what works best for you.

I am going to save my drinking for special events. Superbowl - watch out. The way I deal with drinking is I drink a ton. And I mean a TON of water. That keeps the beer from slowing me down. I drink Mich Ultra. Mmmmm...

If I know there will be good wine with a good meal, I save up the calories. If it's a social occasion, I stay away from wine and beer (too easy to have too many) and go with a shot of Bombay Sapphire on the rocks with club soda and ime. I can make that last for a good hour. 79 calories.
