"Best" drink for when you're on a diet?

Andybtsn · 21 Mar 2006 at 23:34

I've been on a diet for the past 6 weeks and have lost over a stone.

I have been very strict in this time, and I'm letting my hair down and going out this weekend (one-off) strict regime will continue.

Anyway, what is the best drink to drink?

I suspect lager is not too good for people on diet's etc, what about the "pop" alcohol drinks, like smirnoff etc?

Thanks, and sorry for silly question!

Vodka and slimline tonic, supposedly. You'll look like a proper gay though.

Water.

Gin and slimline tonic?

Vodka diet coke. But to be honest if it's a one off you can afford to go a bit crazy with a few beers, even a pizza at the end of the night.

If its a one off then it won't affect you much, just don't get that kebab at the end of the night and you'll be fine.

A kebab has 3 times the saturated fat as a big mac!

Original Coca cola with pork scratchings instead of ice cubes.

Drink it straight, that way you drink less "bad" stuff and in the morning wont even know you broke your diet plan

sorted!

OT, but same with chewing gum.

Lager isn't that bad for you, it's more the stuff that goes along with it - kebabs, takeaways, pork scratchings etc

Vodka and orange cordial with a splash of water is good.

Jack and diet coke.

Jack on its own with ice,

Various other scotches on their own.

Basically stay away from guinness and alcopops and you should be ok.
