If you decide not to stay off the Liquor when trying to lose weight there are things you can do to minimize the effect of alcohol on your weight. First of all, stay hydrated before, after and during your drinking adventure. When you come home from a night out it is ok to eat something, but make it healthy and full of protein, like nuts or whole wheat bread and peanut butter. Set out portions before you go out so you do not over eat. In the morning the first thing you must do it go to the gym. This is a must!!! Not only will it make you feel better, but you will also be burning some of what you put on the night before. Try to follow Tip #35 and limit the liquor, but if that is not entirely possible, make sure you follow this routine to help minimize the negative effects of alcohol on your weight loss.
