Dieting and alcohol

vodka, mimeral water and squeeze of lemon juice. 0 Calories.
Vodka cannot be falvored

all vodka has some sore of calories in 60 i believe so i dont think it could be 0 calories, i used to think it had no calories in either

well i wasn't sure about it myself at first but with the flavoring in the vodka, you can't even tell it's tonic. it's just like a vodka and sprite. that's another thing i drink a lot is rasp or cherry vodka (even whipped vodka mmmm) with sprite zero. very delicious!

efahey

i work in a bar and the drinks are always flowing... i stick to vodka water with a splash of lime juice for flavor... seems to work for me (and it avoids nasty sugar hangovers!!! haha)

I'm a fan of Diet Coke and Capt. Morgan. Each shot of Capt. is 90 cal and the diet coke is 0 calories.

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone!!!! I ended up drinking raspberry vodka and tonic until about 11:00, then I switched to Jack and tonic because JD was only $3, lol. No, there was no moderate drinking for me last night. Thank goodness I don't do that very often! Although, I should have done my research before because when I put the tonic in my food diary this morning there were so many to choose from and the calorie count varied so dramatically that I'm not sure exactly how many calories I even drank.

Thanks JTerra! It is definitely hard work. But I'm glad to have this site and everyone on here for support!!

Beside my Alcohol comment I have to give you a huge congratulations. Losing that much weight is no easy feat. Here's to your continued sucess!!

Red wine is supposed to have some health benefits, although not necessarily low calorie - why not have a glass of that and drink water or diet soda the rest of the night?

Oops - the night is over! I need to learn to read the WHOLE thread before answering!! :blushing:

No worries Wolfena! All recommendations are welcome even if the night is over. There are always other nights! And unfortunately, I know me and 1 glass of wine and water or diet pop the rest of the night would never work. I wouldn't stop at just one glass! I drink like a fish! Luckily I don't go out like that very often.

I love Mike's Light Hard Lemonade (plain or cranberry flavor too). They're only about 90 cals. each, and pretty widely available.

Don't beat yourself up too much about this - I really think the key is learning how to only do this once in a while! I lived in England for four years and discovered how much I LOVE beer, unfortunately this discovery has been a key factor in my weight gain. I am slowly (and boy do I mean slowly) learning how to have just one night of real drinking and save the worrying about calorie count when I just want to have a drink at the end of the day.

well apparently what i was drinking was actually seltzer. i'm sorry! lol tonic has some calories and some sugars and apparently seltzer does not. but still, it's a better choice than beer
