What Type of Alcohol to Drink on a Diet?

Well, let me first start off by saying that no alcohol is ever good for you if you are on a diet, no alcohol is good for you if you aren't on a diet, because not only are you getting calories from the alcohol itself, but there is a good chance that you'll end up binging on foods that aren't good for you, the number one suspect being pizza, at least it was for me anyway, with the consumption of it.

However, if you just can't find your self to resist the temptation, then the following words may be of interest to you.

First, let me start off by telling you what you shouldn't drink, as if you should be drinking any of it. You definitely want to stay away from the beer ladies and gentle men. A can of beer has around 150 calories in it, and if you're like I was, you have to have at least four of them to even start feeling the buzz. Four beers adds up to a whopping 600 calories. Most people have at least seven of them before the night is over, if that's what they are drinking. However, if you are going to drink beer anyways, you definitely want to go with Natural Ice Light, or Bud Light. These have fewer carbohydrates in them and fewer calories. A can of Natural Ice Light has about 100 calories in it.

The drinks you are going to want to stick to are the distilled drinks that have fewer calories and absolutely no carbohydrates. Distilled drinks consist of hard liquors like vodka, Gin, and Rum. There are about 65 calories per shot in these drinks, unless you mix them them with other juices and sodas; however, for dieting reasons, I recommend you suck it up and take them straight up. Not only will your calorie intake be smaller, but you will also get drunker faster.

And contrary to popular belief, wines do have carbohydrates in them, so I would stay away from those too.

As a rule of thumb, you only want to drink alcohol in moderation, not only for dieting reasons, but for long term health reasons as well. Alcohol in the long run results in liver failure, cancer, strokes, and many other difficulties. Back when I was in college, I only drunk alcohol one night out of the week. All the other nights I went out sober.

With that said, I hope this information has helped you.
