That's a good idea, but one of the thing...Yeah. That's a good idea, but one of the things I told myself when I started this whole thing was that I wasn't going to alter my eating habits in any way that would be difficult to keep up after I was done dieting because that is why people fail. I'm not going to quit drinking now, because that's not a realistic portrayal of how I'm going to live the rest of my life. Alcohol for me, just like everything else, is one of those things that I need to relearn portion control. I'd rather face the challenge and beat it than avoid it.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09652226805805046292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8410740990059842401.post-86617864074023970282011-07-20T04:16:58.755-07:002011-07-20T04:16:58.755-07:00Have you tried things like, let's say, alcohol...Have you tried things like, let's say, alcohol-free beer? I know, it sounds crazy... but I did, and it tastes great! So, if you drink beer for the taste, you'll get it with only 1/3 of the calories (comparing my favorite alc-free brand with the brand the BF drinks). There are non-alcoholic cocktails, and even wine (called grape juice ;-) ). I mainly tried it because my family has a small history of alcohol abuse (father and grandfather), and I just wanted to check if I wanted the taste of the intoxication... and who knew, non-alcoholic beer is even great as isotonic drink after exercise, and helps improve hair and skin! ^^Diandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14570498251611083259noreply@blogger.com
