Bit of a alcoholic theme going on here!! 

Can you drink alcohol on a diet? (Just in time for the weekend ?)
▫️
The answer is YES! Fat loss comes down to a Calorie Deficit.  Calories in < Calories out. (Posted about this recently look for ‘Alcohol calories 101’).
▫️
Use these steps to minimize the damage!
▫️
1.Plan! During the day, go easy on the carbohydrates. Have meals high in protein and moderate in fats. Have something like a chicken salad with dressing on the side. This will save room for the calories from the drinks!
▫️
2.Choose your drinks wisely! That’s why I made this post. Pick the drinks from the ‘Lower Calorie’ section, and just keep a mental track of what you’re having.
▫️
3.Avoid eating those greasy meals after drinking! The calories will really add up. A full McDonald’s meal can be around 800 calories! Sometimes I prep a meal before I go out, and have that when I get home.
▫️
4.Stay Hydrated! A great trick I learned to preventing a hangover is staying hydrated during the night and having electrolytes when I get home.
▫️
5.Have fun and enjoy the company! Guys, this is probably the most important of the 5 steps. Let loose and enjoy the time with your friends. One night of drinking won’t ruin your progress!

WARNING
A new study, to be published in Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, found that diet soda mixers nearly double your breath-alcohol content (BrAC). Mixing alcohol with a diet soft drink can double the effects of drinking alcohol. So make sure you watch you consumption! ▫️ Hope everyone has a great weekend!
