can you diet ,and have a light drinkl with dinner?

Answer 1

You can but in most cases you should be counting the calories of whatever you drink in your daily count. If you aren't counting calories, then you are probably counting carbs. Some alcoholic drinks have little or no carbs. Wine usually has none or just 1 or 2, straight spirits usually have none. Mixers and liquers are where you rack up calories and carbs. A good rule of thumb, if it is sweet and not mixed with a diet soda, it has added calories and carbs.

Beers vary considerably so it would probably be a good idea to look that information up in advance so you can make an informed choice.

Carb and calorie counts are available on the Internet so you can track that information.

If you're talking about diet sodas, crystal light and things like that, read the label. Some have none of either calories or carbs.

Make sure you keep your water levels up. That makes a huge difference.

If you are trying to lose weight, alcohol will slow you down if it is more than a drink once in a while. A glass of wine a day is usually okay.

Some people also have craving issues and a harder time losing weight with sugar free drinks (diet sodas, crystal light, etc.). Some people don't.

Your best bet is almost always water or unsweetened (or splenda or stevia sweetened) green tea, but the occasional "other" beverage is fine.

Feeling deprived of things you really want probably does more harm to your diet than the occasional, conservative splurge.

Answer 2

Yes, most diets say to limit alcohol intake to 2 beers a week. so if your only going to have a little wine for dinner i don't see why not.

I have heard also that red wine is somewhat healthy in moderation, but i can't remember why.

Answer 3

drink a tall glass of water with food and it will make you full or drink crystal lite, but water is recommended with a diet better than diet cokes

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5
