Can I still drink alcohol ( martinis) if I want to lose weight?


Answer:
I lost forty pounds over a 3-month period while continuing to consume what some might consider excessive quantities of beer on a regular basis. I also started exercising and eating healthier. My self-esteem got better and I don't do so much the beer thing like I used to. But, yeah, it's possible. Why not?
one or two may be ok
Drinking alcohol is not good if you want to lose weight but there is low cal, carb options to drinking while your dieting. Take a spin around the local liquor store and look for you low cal carb options
nope, it interfere with your digestion of foods.
you shouldn't drink alcohol, because it will burn sugar instead of burn fat.

Yes but you always want to do it in moderation. Avoid beer and high carb alcoholic drinks. Vodka and diet soda would be your best bet if you feel the need to drink. Usually darker liquors or sweet liquors will have higher calorie counts then nicer vodkas or gins.
Losing weight is about a lifestyle change. So, can you see yourself never drinking a martini again? Probably not, so that means that somehow martini's will have to become a part of your healthy diet, but in moderation. Just like the ocassional cookie, piece of cake, or even dinner out are all part of our lifestyles and if we deprive ourselves from them, we eventually "binge."Losing weight is all about calories in vs. calories out. As long as you are burning more calories than you are consuming, you will lose weight. It takes 3500 calories in 1 week to burn 1 lb. So, figure out how many calories a martini has and calcualte it into your diet. You may eat less that day, or you may go to the gym longer. Remember that you still need all your food groups for proper nutrition. Instead of multiple martini's have only 1, and limit it to once a week or less.For 100 ml (less than 1/2 a cup) of a martini has 175 calories. An average daily intake on a diet is around 1200 calories. So, simply do the math and you'll be okay.
