    I drink 10 oz a day. (Two five ounce glasses) One bottle of wine is 25 oz so that's 2.5 days per bottle of wine.

    ...what?

    Anyway, yeah I hope it's fine. I track my Vitamin C (instead of that stupid sugar metric that puts you over for eating a piece of fruit) to be sure that I'm eating plenty of fruits and veggies and not starving myself of nutrients to make way for the alcohol.

    Mmm...wine! I say go for it if you have the room in your diet.

    Something to keep in mind however, if you are following a low-carb diet. Alcohol (some) is low-carb or no-carb. That being said your body will burn alcohol calories first before burning fat. So it could stall your weight loss a bit. Got that tidbit from my nutritionist friend.

    when "advance entering" my food intake for the next day on mfp -- i usually put wine in a few days per week. This way i work towards max calories (or just blow through it) inclusive of wine. I will gladly exchange a non-fat latte for wine (or beer) any day!
    have a great one and enjoy!:drinker: :drinker:

    It's counted as carbs but your body processes as fat and sodium. Keep that in mind and go enjoy your wine!

    Do you have a source for that difficult-for-me-to-believe information?

    there is nothing wrong with a glass of wine once in a while. Its worth the extra 15 minutes at the gym for me :)

    I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy.

    No. I love my Shiraz, but any alcohol stops you burning fat. While I am taking this cut seriously I am not going to have a drop for the next 3 months (already 2 weeks dry)

    A few weeks ago, I did 350 squats so I could fit in more wine. :heart:

    When I'm not having a glass of whiskey on the rocks, I will have a glass of wine. Not everyday.















    Ok, yeah. Pretty much every day.

    I love wine!! I have three bottles in my fridge right now! :) Hey, if I'm still losing and I have the calories...why not?! I love wine. :)

    I always cook with wine..... some times I even put it in the food.....

    I drink wine about once a week and I usually drink the whole bottle. I have really big glasses :). I also drink beer. I guess I workout enough to keep losing because I'm getting fit and still having fun.

    While correlation is not causation moderate alcohol drinkers have less health problems than nonalcoholic dirnkers and alcoholics.

    A cold glass of Wolf Blass Chardonnay or Oyster Bay SB or Kim Crawford SB - definitely worth the extra workout time.
