Weight Loss Tip
By Janice Elizabeth Small, Mon Dec 26th
It's amazing how one little innocent glass of Chardonnay orShiraz can do so much damage to your waistline but it can if youdon't take care. A small 125ml glass of wine contains around 100calories - the equivalent of over 10 pounds of pure body fatbeing added to your body if you have one every day for a year. Wine won't fill you up and it may even increase your appetiteand lower your inhibitions so that you end up eating more thanis good for you. Many people find that after a glass or two allcaution goes to the wind. If you do like a glass of wine with dinner then you need to makesure that you only have one and that you eat less or(preferably) exercise more to make up for those extra calories.When you find out you have to jog for an extra 12 -15 minutes aday to make up for each glass you might think twice.
As
a compromise you may like to - have half a glass toenjoy the taste without all the calories
- turn your wineinto a spritzer to reduce the overall calories
- save yourwine drinking for weekends or special occasions
This is atime to use a quality not quantity principle. Why not treatyourself to better quality wines and sip your glass slowly toget the full enjoyment?And if you have friends round to share the bottle, rememberchampagne is no more calories than other wines, yet it's hard tofeel that you're deprived and "on a diet" when you have a glass.
