how can you drink & stay thin?!

Vodka has more like 50 calories than 70, doesn't it? I've always thought it was 50 for a shot of any spirit?

I've managed to lose weight while continuing to drink the same amount as usual. One drunk night a week will not make that much difference overall as long as you don't overeat in the rest of the week. The main issue I have is trying not to eat when I get home drunk. I lose all motivation for the diet by that point and end up really regretting it in the morning.

Eating less throughout the day on the day you're drinking does work as you compensate for the alcohol calories and you need to drink less to get drunk. However, not eating very much before drinking is more likely to make you sick, which is a disgusting way pleases me as I know I haven't wasted a day of the diet. But when I go on diets I go slightly insane and its all I can ever think about (except when I'm drunk!). So just be careful to eat something proper before drinking,

Minimum 70 calories per shot. 1 unit=10mls alcohol=70calories. Anything extra in it makes more.

This site says it's 52. I'm going with that!

I was always under the notion that vodka had not a lot of calories, so I'd smirk at my friends drinking wine whilst I thought I was fine with my double vodka and diet coke

But I've just found out that one shot of vodka is about 70 calories!
sometimes when i go out i can have about two triple vodka and cokes and maybe another glass! so that makes the equivalent of a bottle of wine! gggrrrr

Does anyone know how to stay social and go out drinking, without gaining weight?
it seems pointless eating healithy when I'll end up going out and drinking, there must be some low calorie drink

Alcohol suppresses the body's ability to burn body fat. The body has no storage capacity for alcohol like it does for carbohydrates and fats. Since alcohol must be detoxified as quickly as possible, its oxidation takes priority over that of other macronutrients. In other words, while the liver is busy metabolizing alcohol, the utilization of fats, carbohydrates, and protein has to be temporarily suppressed. The burning of fat is suppressed the most, because it's at the bottom of the oxidative hierarchy.

At least I would have spent my life doing what i like doing and not spending most of my days counting calories, working out at the gym and stressing over being fat, if you're going to live life like that I don't think there's even much point in living like that, sounds pretty sh*t if you ask me.

No, she's going to swallow the whole egg carton, all 20 of them.

Since you know, she doesn't care what she eats

Ahh its posts like these that make me so glad I can eat like a pig all day every day and go out getting drunk, drinking what i like and when i like and stay slim

You're gonna either be dead or look really awful in 20 years

Stop trying to make yourself feel better by trying to put other people down because you probably have weight issues yourself. Chill out, live a little and stop trying to put a dampener on other peoples lives.

or maybe not. that might be the person that eats well and exercises. that's often how life turns out.

Can't believe people are still churning out that "healthy people die early too" argument. Some smokers live to 100 too. Learn to think of things from a statistical viewpoint.

right, like you did when you said he IS going to look crap or be dead. Nice stats.


You're a smug twit and i'm old enough to realise that whilst you can work hard to increase the chance you'll be healthy and look good, there's no guarentees.
