Drinking & Dieting

Alcohol is full of empty calories and is best avoided while on a diet. It also lowers your inhibitions so you may make poor eating and drinking choices.

If you are going to drink, here are some tips to lessen the impact on your diet.

1. Avoid drinks with high calorie mixers such as margaritas or anything with cream, tonic, sweet and sour mix or cola.

2. Choose light beer or wine since these have the least amount of calories per serving (100 to 120). Note that restaurants tend to pour more than one serving of wine in a glass.

3. Use low calorie mixers such as diet tonic, club soda or diet cola.

4. Alternate between alcoholic drinks and water.

5. Avoid being hungry at a party because you may make poor choices. Eat something healthy before arriving.
