Cocktails and your calorie consumption....

It's not surprising that many people have questions regarding their alcohol consumption and caloric intake...

Here Are 5 Ways To Cut Alcohol Calories!!!

So how do you keep calories in alcoholic drinks from adding up way too much? Here are five tips...

1. Alternate alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks to save calories.

2. Choose wine, light beer, or simple cocktails made with low-calorie mixers.

3. Skip the mixer altogether. Try ordering your favorite drink or one of the new flavored liquors on the rocks.

4. Dilute your drink. Another option is diluting your drink with club soda or sparkling water.

5. Have a plan! Common! Before going out to the cocktail party or happy hour, make sure you have a game plan. You have to make an informed choice as to how much you are going to drink for the evening. You might need to cut back on your overall calories for that day to compensate. But, never skip meals altogether, this is a bad thing, especially if you plan on having a cocktail or two, or five...

Alcohol does not COUNT as clean eating...keep this in mind!

Clean Eating...it's a lifestyle people!

Clean Eating Principles:

  • Eating a mini-meal every two to three hours (5 to 6 small meals per day total) to keep blood sugar level and prevent hunger
  • Combining lean proteins and complex carbs at every meal
  • Avoiding all over-processed and refined foods (especially sugar, white rice, and white flour)
  • Avoiding saturated and trans fat, instead consuming healthy fats
  • Avoiding soda and other sugary juices and drinks
  • Avoiding high-calorie, zero nutrient foods (i.e., junk food)
  • Eating proper portion sizes
  • Drinking at least 8 cups of water every day
