    Maybe water weight because of the alcohol. But I find that a few ounces do a good job of suppressing my appetite if I'm hungry before dinner :)

    False. Metabolizing alcohol takes priority over other energy stores at night, so it will only delay any real weight loss with respect to body fat.

    If you are below your calories for the day, yes

    It doesn't help you lose weight any more than drinking a glass of milk or eating a sandwich before bed.
    Weight loss is about eating or drinking the right number of calories. If you can fit wine in your calorie goal and want to drink it then do so.

    LOL! False.

    Only if the glass or two you do drink, when added to your daily calories consumed, equals a calorie deficit for the day will you see weight loss.

    There are no short cuts. http://www.acaloriecounter.com/blog/why-am-i-not-losing-weight/

    Thanks so much for the feedback! I Knew this was too good to be true lol! And yes I understand, THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS!! Thanks I'll see if I can squeeze it in my caloric intake when I get to enjoy the glass of red wine one day. My husband is underway and I have 3 little ones, I can't indulge in quite a treat just yet, but I'll be prepared by August how to do It the right way. Thanks again!!

    Thnx for the link!!
