Is Alcohol okay... with weight loss - Can they work together


First and foremost you can't binge drink and expect to have a six pack. My philosophy, alcohol is in MODERATION is good for our bodies. It keeps are arterial blood flow strong and maintains a healthy heart. The biggest problem is: MODERATION. One small slip up and you got one to many calories.



Here is a few common drinks and typical caloric intake. Best choice by far is the 55kcal beer and theirs even a 90kcal beer. Just make sure that you don't over consume!

Drink on your birthday! Not your dogs, cats, next door neighbors, or first day of spring.
