What are some ways to avoid putting on weight when you're going out and binge drinking 2-3 nights a week?

Question

I'm in college and that's the culture here. I like to go out but I also don't want to put on weight. I feel like if I don't go out with my friends I'll miss something. So don't give me any sanctimonious answers like "Just don't drink! duh" or "only have 1-blahblahblah" or "you're an alcoholic." I'm gonna do what I'm gonna do regardless. So please gimme good legitimate answers. Thank you. That is all.

Thanks to the people who actually answered this without judgment. Everyone else, may i ask why you get your kicks going online and verbally abusing total strangers? And to the person who told me I fail at life, you're a dick and you know it. Judging people on the basis of three sentences they wrote must be so gratifying to your soul!! wheeeeee

Answer 1

for one thing, you can try to spend as much time as possible dancing! it's fun, it goes with the culture, and it sure does burn a lot of calories. also, if you feel you have the tendency of putting on weight, take some simple measures such as supervising our diet or going to the gym once or twice a week. you'll feel great, be healthier, and you'll be able to fully enjoy your college life.
have fun!

The best way to lose weight is to plan what did you need to do: example Day 1 eat fruit and vegetable a lot, exercise running and swimming, rest and drink plenty of water. Day 2 repeat the process with adjustment what you want to do, be creative with your way to lose weight. This can keep you motivated for long term. Hope this help Cheer

Answer 3

You want a good, legitimate answer to this? From an RN and also one who had been on the party scene when she was young like you----you can't. And PLEASE don't stop eating. You'll ruin your digestive system and your liver. The best you can do is try a low fat diet. You won't avoid putting on weight, but you could save your heart.

Answer 4

i used to be that way too. atleast 1-2 days a week detox your body of all the bad stuff you put in it when you drink. while your detoxing, make this tea drink and drink 2-4 cups a day. green tea with Milk Thistle, an herb u can buy at wal-mart. add honey and sugar for flavor. the milk thistle helps your liver to not distend when you drink too much, making u get a 'beer gut' or whatever, depending on what you drink. it helps the liver keep working properly, ok u get it, anways...try as hard as you can not to eat junk food or really try not to eat anything while you drink, especially beer, calories stick so easy if you do, idk why? if you have to eat while you drink, eat something xtremely low in calories. Good luck!

Answer 5

Just stick to vodka and club soda. And avoid eating unless it's absolutely necessary! I'm out approx. 5 times a week and we party rather heavily and I've managed to maintain my weight at 108 lbs. and size 1 or 2.

Answer 6

Eat prior to going out. When you drink try to stick to shots (tequila, vodka) less calories & sugar. If you have to eat, have a salad or a light meal. Water is always key throughout the night. Dancing will also burn calories/fat. Party On.

Answer 7

Drinking a large amount of alcohol dehyrdates your body, hence hangovers and that overwhelming drymouth in the morning. So drink plenty of water during the day, exercise a bit and be careful of what you eat.

Answer 8

Work out and diet the other 4 or 5 days.

Answer 9

drink less maybe, drink seltzer and beer, vomiting would work but isn't healthy. Maybe exercise whenyou aren't getting drunk. Maybe spend some time studying too. Thats presumably why you are at college. Maybe one of the reasons anyway.

Answer 10

the only way is to exercise after you drink which will be pretty hard because your in college and your probably gonna have a bad head ache but that's what i recommend!
