Calorie Reducing Drink Swaps

Wine, beer, cocktails, and spirits are flowing a lot at this time of year. The flow of calories that comes with them is crazy too – and they add up fast.

 

Make some simple modifications to lower the calorie count:

  1. Replace Tonic with Soda
  2. Look for wine with a sugar level of 0-9g per litre. The sugar level is on the bar code label on the shelf at the LCBO.
  3. Make a spritzer by adding soda or sparkling water to your wine – you will drink less in every glass
  4. Avoid cocktails made with syrupy mix-ins. Add mint, lemon or lime as flavor enhancers instead.
  5. Add water to scotch so one shot lasts longer and you drink less
  6. Low Carb beer. There are many on the market now. “Sleeman Clear” is my favorite.
  7. Consider being the driver on some nights. That will make your frequency of drinking nights during the holidays less.
  8. Drink earlier in the evening and then switch to water after. Prevents extra calorie consumption before bed.
