Hi All......I just read thisin Diet n Fitness Magazine (UK), it's quite scary so I thought i'd share it with you (whilst having a Bacardi n Coke lol!!!)
If you wanna burn off a 600 calorie bottle of wine you'd have to:-
1) Run 10K in 1 hour.
2) Swim 3 miles in 2 hours.
3) Walk 6 miles in 2 hours.
4) Zumba for 2.5 hours.
5) Body conditioning for 3 hours.
6) Washing car/windows for 4.5 hours.
7) Gardening for 5 hours.
8) Cleaning the house for 6 hours.
9) Cycling for 1.5 hours.
10) Computer work for 14.5 hours.
Scary stuff.....I say pouring another drink (it's Friday so it doesn't count, surely????)

Holy smokies!!!!! I drink a bottle of wine everyday! I was doing this because red wine is good for your heart. But do you think I am overdoing it now??0 -
Awesome ideas! All of those activities sound like fun, especially after a bottle of wine!0
-
Wait a bottle of wine is only 600 calories? Too bad Im not a fan of wine.0
-
Not bad at all! I'm happy wine is one of my vices.0

Drinking one glass a wine has a lot of benefits too. I am not encouraging anything, but only one a day isn't bad for you as long as you are making room in your calorie budget. Heres a website that tells you the benefits. http://www.health.com/health/article/0,,20410287,00.html0 -
OMG, what magazine ? i'm in the UK, but i burn 600 calories a day if not more, but hey still scary stuff, so better start drinking vodka & coke far less calories & no wine belly lol :drinker:0

1) Run 10K in 1 hour.
3) Walk 6 miles in 2 hours.
10K is 6.21 miles. So, pretty much, move 6-ish miles?0 -
I find this a pretty sick mentality.
You probably burn somewhere in the ballpark of 2000-3000 calories per day just from your BMR and daily activities. If you put it all in context, that bottle of wine could be "burned off" while you sleep for 5.5 hours.0 -
A bottle of vodka (0,5l) is over 1k calories
0 -
Sweet! Somebody pass the wine!0
-
...or just eat 600 less calories from other sources.
You're welcome, America.0 -
If I've had a bottle of wine I think there is only one way I'm going to want to burn it off.0

yes. you'll burn the same calories over the same distance no matter how fast you go.0 -
So?0

May I recommend Tercos Malbec?

Just what I was thinking.0 -

Agree, but my understanding is that your body processes booze before getting to other calories....so while you are burning off that wine, the steak is turning to fat.
Perhaps the moral is to not eat when one drinks?0 -

That was my thought exactly. Time to go for a run. The wine is waiting!Wait a bottle of wine is only 600 calories? Too bad Im not a fan of wine.0

The real calorie burner is actually being able to remain standing while performinjg any of said activities after enjoying the entire bottle!! Drunken Zumba, sounds like a good time

can't tell if joking. if you're in a calorie deficit, the steak won't store as fat. it will be burned off because you're in calorie deficit.
in other news, water is wet.0 -
Per MFP, I burn about 2,200. So if I eat 2,200 AND drink a bottle of wine (2-3 beers is more likely for me, but just rolling with the set-up) I do in fact need to burn more through additional exercise.
I have no idea how you can find counting calories in and out in order to arrive at/maintain a healthy weight as a "sick mentality".I find this a pretty sick mentality.

That's definitely the moral - eating kills the buzz. :bigsmile: :drinker:0 -

It reminds me of exercise bullemia. "I just ate these french fries. I better get on that elliptical for an extra 2 hours tonight!" It's not sustainable. And it's no way to live.
Why not just set up a sustainable lifestyle that includes the occasional bottle of wine within the parameters?0 -
Six mile walk in 2 hours? EASY AS PIE. I'd better start drinking more wine.0
-
Gascon Malbec is also one of my favorites!0
