Default Re: Hi I'm a Newbie introducing herslef

when you go to the bars with your friends you can order a "legal" drink -- mineral water with a twist....I bartended for what seems forever - you won't believe the number of people who came in and ordered either regular water w/a twist or mineral and a twist. Ask for a Tom Collins glass - it's taller and thinner but it makes YOU believe you are drinking right along side your friends. When you go out WHO IS THE DESIGNATED DRIVER? It's not safe to go without one -- you can volunteer to be that responsible adult among your friends.

If you follow the plan and move up the rungs as the plan was written you'll be able to have your precious drinks before you know it....BUT when you get there remember the alcohol has carbs so while you are taking away from the daily carbs you are allowed to eat you are cheating your body of nutrition it needs to help you stay healthy and loose the weight. I prefer to eat my carbs, not drink them!
