Question. I think im going to have to stop drinking to make this work, honestly I drink way too much and I think I give myself the "oh its ok because i eat super healthy attitude" and my weight has been stuck where it is now for over a year.
Did any of you have to quit drinking to lose weight? And how does it affect OMAD. I think its just a huge amount of empty useless calories and it makes me want to eat more and not care when I obviously do when im not drinking.
Im thinking i will let myself have 1 day a week where I can have a drink with my friends but thats it.

I’m still drinking (probably too much, ha!). I drank wine on Thursday, vodka last night and I’m planning on drinking again tonight as we are going out to a gig at a pub with friends who are big drinkers...
I’m losing slowly though, I’m sure if I cut back on the booze I’d probably lose way faster. Right now I’m not willing to give it up. If, when I get closer to goal, I’m having problems losing, I may have to reconsider.0 -

I dont drink alcohol or soda because I would rather eat my calories...I think one day a week would help but only one way to find out is to try it and see

If indeed you are drinking "way too much", I think you need to address that issue regardless of whether or not you're trying to lose weight. You'll be much better off if you can limit it to an occasional moderate amount, even better yet just let it go entirely.0

I quit drinking for a month and my weight loss didn’t change.0

I quit drinking 39-yrs ago (as minor) cause it was causing me way too many troubles. Do not regret it at all.0

I quite when I was 17. It only got me in trouble. If you want to, just do it.
Quit smoking then too. 1st day in 12th grade, right after having a smoke, I ran 2-miles with the cross country team due to a friend taunting me into doing it. I thought I was going to die. I was dead last. Made me really sick and I was hacking up all sorts of black stuff. That was my last day smoking, took a couple of weeks to get past the jitters. I kept up running and was the cross countries 4th guy by the end of the season. By the end of track season in May, I ran a 4:48-mile and tied our high school record (soft record). Not bad for quitting smoking 9-months prior. Next year in college I could do 6/5 of a mile at a 5:00-min/mile pace 3-times in a workout with a 5-min recovery in-between at 4500 ft elevation. Smoking never helped me either.0 -

I am not a big Drinker, but when I do have one night out, It really doesn't effect my weight loss. But I don't partake every night, perhaps twice a month.0
