A standard glass of wine comes to around 160 calories, equivalent to a slice of cake – or 15 minutes of high intensity training.
Slip a few of these back on a Friday night and you’ll be on your way to undoing all your hard work. Of course, a drink here and there won’t be detrimental but I do recommend cutting out alcohol altogether if you’re trying to lose weight and get fit, especially at the beginning of your journey.
Staying sober has so many benefits and you won’t encounter the hangovers (which will make it hard for you to wake up early for a gym session) or the drunken cravings (avoiding devouring more naughty calories!).
I’d recommend this Little Black Dress Non-Alcoholic Mocktail recipe to anyone, it’s a super-healthy ‘Pimms’!
