so, ya'll know I'm training for this big race in August...1/2 ironman. It wouldn't hurt me to loose a little weight to help performance. Well, m bodybuilding friend told me that if I continue to drink red wine that the body fat will not budge. This was pretty disheartening--cause I love a little red wine!
My God, I've given up pizza, sweets, hamburgers, and some other things. If I have to give up red wine--that might just put me over the edge.
What do you guys think of this?
If I drink a little red wine--will it keep the bodyfat on?
say it ain't so!

When I quit swimming in college I gained about 30 pounds! I lost all that weight plus more after I realized a few lifelong lessons. Through trial and error, I found that the key to weight control is eating 3 balanced meals a day with 2-3 HEALTHY snacks. NEVER skip breakfast. Breakfast "stokes" the fire of your metabolism. If you skip meals, your metabolism actually slows down. That is what lead to my weight gain! Special diets don't usually work in the long run either. People usually gain the weight back because they go back to old habbits. Don't waste your money on "fat free" products. Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. Exercise and a well-balanced, portion controlled diet is the key. If you want ice cream, eat a SMALL serving. If you want wine, drink a SMALL glass of it. I truly believe MODERATION is key in everything. Sorry if I sound preachy. I just know what worked for me. Everyone is different though. Try it and see if it works for you! :D
