If you're on a fat loss diet program, alcohol is something that you should be strictly limiting. Not only is alcohol very calorie dense coming in at seven calories per gram, but it's also going to put an immediate halt to all fat loss progress going on when you consume it.
Not to mention the fact that when you indulge in a few drinks your will power to stick with your diet will also go down, therefore it could cause you to start eating foods that you shouldn't.
That said, not everyone can cut out drinking from time to time as it is something that's heavily linked to normal socialization, so if you feel like drinking isn't something that you can give the boot to, at the very least it's helpful to know which drink choices you should be choosing.
Let's have a look at the top considerations.
The Good
Straight Liquor With Seltzer Water
The very first choice that you should consider is one ounce of your favourite liquor with simple seltzer water or plain water. This will contain only around 70 calories per drink, so is a much lighter option.
If you can alternate this with one glass of plain water, all the better.
White Wine
If wine is your thing, the good news is that this is also a relatively lower calorie choice as well. Most wines range from 90-150 calories per glass depending on the variety, so if you keep your total number of glasses down, it doesn't have to destroy your diet plan.
