=> Check the balance on your Alcohol Credit Card

If you're trying to get leaner around the middle, you should cut and/or eliminate alcohol from your diet for at least one month.

"Why?" you ask, "Isn't red wine good for my heart???"

Carbs and Protein have 4 calories/gram. Fat has 9 calories/gram. Guess how many calories/gram there are in alcohol? SEVEN! It's almost as fatty as fat, but your body has no use for it; it goes straight to your liver for processing! The leftover goes to your belly, hips, and thighs. This is why alcohol calories are called "empty" calories.

Even the "bad" sugary carbs are useful for your body after a hard workout. Good Fat from olive oil, nuts, avocado are good for hair/skin/nail health and overall joint mobility.

Back to the red wine: Yes, it's a rich source of antioxidants flavonoid & resveratrol (in grape skin/seeds), which increase the HDL (good) choleserol, and prevent blood clotting. But you can just eat grapes to obtain the same benefits and save the empty calories for a piece of chocolate or a bite of sweets.

Drinking alcohol also lowers your metabolism and your blood sugar, which makes you want to eat things like pizza, carbs, sweets, and chocolate!

So if you want to have a drink now and then, which I DO by the way :-), then remember this helpful tip: For every drink you have, commit yourself to an additional 10-20 minutes on the treadmill or StairMaster to burn it off!

Think of drinking as "charging" on your Alcohol credit card. If you have time to pay off your debt by working out, then drink away! Otherwise, the debt will accumulate, and in this case, around your midsection! :) Remember you can't "charge" your food intake with your alcohol card.
