Wine?

I know we all like it and I certainly have a weakness for the stuff, but at the end of the day - it just doesn't agree...
Last night I opened a bottle, this was after a whole week of abstinence. Of course - I had to finish it, can't have just half of bottle laying around can we? Think of the children.
Today - whilst no hangover, I just have not much energy.
Conclusion - stop with the wine completely:(

I have wine near nightly, and I buy the little cans of it - portion control, right there. If I have a bottle, I'll tend to drink the whole thing too. It's not even because it's alcohol, I just like the taste.0

Blasphemy!
Get up and get out there....then get to the store for another bottle of wine and enjoy a glass next time!

Wine before a rest day only.0

Nice excuse you have there!0 -
Heretic!
*clutches bottle of Gavi to chest and refuses to give it up*
You'll have to prise this bottle from my cold dead hands!

We go in cycles...some weeks it's only Friday evening and Saturday evening. This last week it has been before dinner for the last few nights...I do notice I don't have as much energy in the morning after.
Still....I won't give it up. :drinker:0 -
Well, look from a positive side of things... at least you're lucky that you are not a whiskey lover.0

try to keep it under 2-3 glasses a day. You gotta be able to enjoy life, right? that's what this all about anyway.0

Just don't drink the whole bottle...0 -
Wine in cans? Sounds a bit American/Australian to me;)
I think though - portion control really is the issue. You'd think at 45 I'd be able to manage it by now wouldn't you:)0 -
Wine is adult grape juice. I'm sure all of us have accidentally had a few too many without intending to do so, haha.0
-
Life without wine?? No, this is wrong. Just shove the cork back in and enjoy it the next evening. :drinker:0

I used to kill a bottle all by myself in an evening, but too many calories! Now it is a couple glasses and that is it.0

I'm american and I can't fathom cans. Perhaps she's speaking of the new recyclable containers? There are a few decent ones out. And they do make a 3 glass version. :-) I'm good the next day as long as there's only THREE glasses. The fourth and I'm useless the next day. Just tired. No hang over.Wine in cans?

So glad the DW and I don't like wine. And I live in a wine making city!!! I have wine stored for guests, but last time I drank some was a sip for a toast at a reception.
Just for info: alcohol inhibits fat burning. So if a lot of one's calories is committed to alcohol, it may impede how weight loss from fat is going.

Feel free to send any unwanted wine to my PO box.0 -
I've read this before, yes. What I understand is the body it burns it first, and won't burn other "things" til it's gone. Is that the story?So glad the DW and I don't like wine.

If you feel you HAVE to drink the whole bottle then yes, stopping all together is probably a good idea.0 -
I take it you are on this site to lose weight. Right? Wine has a calorie count of about 125 per 5 oz. glass. A pound of weight is around 3200 calories. S, you can look at it couple of ways. A 32 oz. bottle of wine equals 800 calories. One bottle a day equals 24000 calories or 7 and a half pounds. One 5 oz. glass a day would be about 3750 calories or about 1 and a quarter pounds per month. So, I would say a glass a night or none. By the way, I'm a Scotch drinker and buy the best I can possibly afford with a limit of 2 oz. once or twice a week. It's that or don't lose weight. I also eat too much when I drink. Bob T:huh:0

That's why I exercise more on drinking days.
I won't gain, since I fit it into my macros.

Yeah. I buy either a half sized bottle of a nice Italian red wine or the small 3 bottle piccolo pack of a yummy sparkling white wine. And I still end up saying innappropriate things in the forums. :blushing:0 -
Correct. Unlike other macros (though alcohol really doesn't fit into a true "carb" category) it can't be stored so it's metabolized until it's out of the body. So one of the worst times one could drink it is before going to bed because body fat is the main energy source used at rest, unless of course you had alcohol in your system.

Have to agree - I love wine and would happily drink a bottle for the taste not because it's alcohol. I buy a bottle and pour it into those smaller wine bottles to portion control it. Appreciate it will cost a little more at first to buy a few small bottles to enjoy and keep but you have the portion control then. Plus if you pour it right to the brim you can't use the excuse that you have to drink it because it will go off - it keeps perfectly!0
