Calories in Alcohol and Weight Loss

One of the most common weight loss mistakes I see is not taking into account alcohol calories.

When it comes to weight management calories matter. All calories...both solid and liquid.

Alcohol itself isn't necessarily something "bad" that must be avoided. In fact, when it comes to weight loss...

...there are no "bad" foods or beverages...only bad patterns.

So even if you "only" drink "a couple glasses of wine a few days a week," that pattern is really the equivalent of 1 1/2 bottles/week. That's 78 bottles/year or the calorie equivalent of 12 pounds!

Kind of like compound interest...it adds up over time.

In addition, alcohol calories are a double whammy.

So if you enjoy alcoholic beverages more often than "only at weddings," make sure you're familiar with how the calories in alcohol stack up!
