    Drink drink all day! Just don't think while you're eating. B/c your body will put the food you're eating to the side, or store it s fat, while your body trying to rid of the alcohol. That's how you get fat. It won't effect muscle growth though. If it does, barely!


    Um. What?

    Sorry quick response. I meant, do not drink while you're eating. I did this for almost two weeks before and it did not effect my muscle growth, nor my weight.

    And I'm brought back to my original thought.... WHAT?

    I have an occasional alcoholic beverage every night. :drinker:
    Same here I have half-whole bottle of skinny girl wine every night.
    Only ~250 for half and ~ 500 for full bottle.

    Great math :wink:
    lol :drinker:

    I have on average 1-2 a day... but not every day... just an average. I would never give up my beer completely. I enjoy it too much.

    Sorry - did you say occasional??

    Like only once or twice a day?

    He he, well I manage a winery. I have to taste the wines each day and then also get involved with tasting and blending new wines. For me, it is an occupational hazard. But I log every glass. My daily 'new bottle' tastes are so small, I just allow 30 calories for them, but everything is logged.

    For me, this 'diet, is a lifestyle change not a restrictive short term fix. I love red wine and so I make it fit into my plan instead of being scared of it.

    I cut back from 6 days a week to 3-4days a week, but I still have 5-10 alcoholic drinks a week. I fit them into my calories which is especially easy to do on weekends when I tend to be pretty active. It is probably better for you if you dont, but so what? Some people fit in a piece of cake, or pizza, or bacon, or mac and cheese or whatever every once in a while and I fit in my wine..

    What if you don't drink? How does one get fat that way?

    I totally get it....


    ... I don't drink often, but sometimes I just get the urge for a drink. This afternoon I was just craving a drink....so I couldn't help myself and found Smirnoff c*cktail 'Long Island Ice Tea' at the pub. Sure, I drank the whole bottle, but it's been close to 3 months since I drank last, so I have no guilty feelings.

    I'm happily buzzed right now.. :drinker:

    I just have smaller meals during the day if I know I'll be drinking that night. For example, tonight I have a dinner reservation at this really nice italian restaurant and I know I'll be tempted to indulge in a glass of wine, so I'm only having half of a bagel for breakfast and a garden salad with half a chicken breast for lunch. Which will leave me with enough extra calories for dinner and wine ;)

    oh man!! just read some of the replies, and someone suggested pumpkin ale with the glass rimmed with brown sugar. i did that a few times last year and i can't wait to do it again.
