Alcohol question

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

With us not snacking, is it ok to drink beer/wine later on in the evening? Or is it best o just consume it with meals?

I always have mine with meals.

I have mine in the evening to boost my calories if I'm short, it's fine to have in evening it's not snacking and just longs it stays within your days totals for calories, it's empty calories :)

I can't comment as to beer and wine (I drank 2 glasses of wine per evening - 1 with dinner, 1 after), but if you're drinking hard alcohol with no sugary mixers it's 100% fine to drink whenever because hard liquor just lowers your blood sugar without giving you any nutrients.

And so I guess so long as we've fasted for long enough after too? Like even though it's empty cals, if we drink till midnight (as if THAT ever happens, but I'm going to Cuba and don't want to deviate too much) is waiting til noon to eat long enough?

I'm sure noon will be fine, thing is with empty cals I'm pretty sure it doesn't keep your blood sugar levels up which is what we're aiming to keep low, that's why it's called empty calories I believe.

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

Very cool . Let there be drinks! Haha

No alcohol is calorie free (far from it) and all alcoholic drinks, even straigjt liquor, should be consumed with meals just like soda.

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

Except when your in cuba right?!? Bahaha!! I'll try and behave ;p im breastfeeding anyway so I don't go crazy; but I'm quite sure a few nights we'll be having a drink or 2 after hours. I'll let Mary out to play ;)

No they're definitely not free of calories that's why I said I use them up boost my totals if I'm short at the end of the day. I say empty as ii drink that instead of eating a Big Mac to boost my calories, that's not empty calories as it would make me go over my protein allowance to. Wine wouldn't do that

I knew what you meant. And I figure too if I'm skipping breakfast im fasting for sometimes 18 hrs so if I drink one night and wrap it up for 10pm and still fast til noon it's still 14 hrs of fasting if I eat at noon. I'm not going to beat myself up where it comes to a few drinks on vacation where I'm supposed to be learning to relax. I'm Ocd with very little Mary in me. My goal is to become so fricken zen that I'll make a sloth look motivated lol

Yes with my sway I am just making sure I do stay in my totals and don't be such a stress head. I think stressing over it all could really harm our hard work!! Hope you have a wonderful holiday! I'm very jealous! lol x

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

Thank you! I've never ever been!!! This is such a treat!

This is one of those things that technically we probably shouldn't do - but I always did and got a girl.

Be careful with this idea though because alcohol can really lower your blood sugar and you may nneed to eat something in the morning after a night of indulging - I have had alcohol the night bfore a couple times and then got really lightheaded because I was running errands on only a light breakfast, then had a blood sugar crash like you would not believe. I had to actually stop and buy a sugary drink it was so bad and this happened like 4 times! (making myself sound like a total lush there but it wasn't that many drinks!) I just want you guys to be really careful and not pass out or anythign.

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

Thank you! I'll be so careful to balance. I don't want to ruin my time bc I feel lousy.

Also you prob. already know this but drink only self-contained bottled drinks that you open and do not have anything mixed with water or ice. My stepmother got VERY ill in the Carribbean once (and it's not that their water is dirty or bad necessarily, but because your stomach is not used to the microorganisms in it) I don't want you to end up trying to conceive when having tummy trouble.

Yes! I knew this, but I'm not even sure how to control that. Do you ask if it's bottled juice that the drink is being made with? I def will be asking for no ice.

I would seriously have bottled beer or wine that you open. I would not have a mixed drink down there. For reals.

She drank so much Pepto that her tongue turned black!! It was so scary. :(

[Hitmebabyonemoretime]

I can do that. I like my beer and wine.
