Hey there, Skinny Girl!

Did you know that.......

Alcoholic drinks can significantly increase your caloric intake in one shot or just a few sips. They are typically just as high in calories as sugar-laden sodas! (not to mention they slow down that metabolism you have been working so hard at the gym for!) Does this mean that with the weekend coming you can't have a cocktail? Of course not, but as with all mindful eating, you have to practice "mindful drinking" because those are part of your overall calories, too. SO enjoy your cocktail, but know before you go swimming in that margarita the size of a fish bowl, the kind of damage you are doing to your new healthy lifestyle. This guide will help you understand the approximate caloric content of selected alcoholic drinks. .........
