    I tried the all alcohol diet for a while. For some reason I didn't lose any weight but I was always losing pretty much everything else.

    When I have a drink I usually log it in snacks, but it seems funny logging it as a snack.


    I have a section titled alcohol... lol

    Drinking, especially to excess, will sabotage your weight loss. Besides the 'empty' calories, it's filled with sugar, which could bring back cravings for sweets the next day.

    More importantly, it impairs your judgement. That double bacon cheeseburger and milkshake is a lot more tempting after chugging a few beers. I know that when I drink, and I sometimes drink too much, that the night usually ends with a slice of pizza. Hangovers are terrible for exercise. I don't know about you, but there's nothing I want to do less that hit the gym after a hard night out. I can barely walk the dog the next morning.

    I'm not a teatotaller, everything in moderation, but if you do plan on partying with booze, step up the workouts a few days before. Maybe even make a 'cheatish' meal at home, ready to zap in the microwave when you walk in the door. Way better than ordering a pizza and wings. One day wont screw up everything, so the next day get yourself right back on track.


    I fully agree with ALL of this!

    I quit drinking the end of last year. Drinking led to late night snacking on horrible food. The morning hangovers were the worst. I would go to the gym to try to sweat it out. It wasn't fun.

    Don't actually "party". But I do have glass of wine most days. It's always within my calories, did not impede my weight loss or my current maintenance.
