alcohol while cutting

[hawktribal]

sorry if this has been asked before, but i couldn't find a thread. i'm starting a cutting diet, nothing hardcore yet so i don't burn myself out too early, but does anyone recommend a type of drink to have while cutting.. basically just something with lower calories.. trying to stay away from the brew haw. i know drinking is basically the devil while cutting, but I'm in college and I can't see myself not throwing a few back on the weekends.

i hear ya dude

a couple things here - stay away from whiskey....and as u said - def stay away from beer. i just saw a commercial a few mins ago for bacardi and diet coke (not captain) and the them was "zero carbs".....well rum has sugar in it so im not sure how true all that is but when i have a few i go with gin. ive always loved gin anyways and i like a few martinis. now i know that u are in college and u arent going to some fraternity party and walk around with a martini in your robe while smoking a pipe as u will look like a total jake - but id look into gin and tonic's...i know theres a diet tonic and u can load that thing up with some limes

other then that - if u need to drink some beers those low carb beers suck i think. i love the taste of beer so it might be harder for me to adapt to something like that.

and if u go to dinners and what not - red wine is key

hope that helps

i go with rasberry vodka and diet coke. 64 cals an oz for the vodka...and diet coke doesnt have any calories. its really not that bad tasting, especially if ur cutting (anything tastes good). ive been trying to cut out the alcohol though

haha yeah, i guess i could see him being called a homo for that one. woops! my buddy drinks vodka tonics when he is dieting (not usually more than 2 in a night though) you may wanna try that

Bacardi/Diet, zero carbs, zero sugar. Not sure what else is in it but I doubt there is fat or protein in it.

sometimes i have it with orange, but i've been told thats a girls drink so i was forced to stop

I do not think Bacardi has sugar in it. If it has zero calories there is no sugar.

Gin and tonic is good but you may want to take a close look at the tonic. I love gin and tonics but do not drink them too much anymore. But when I was serious about my phyique back in the day I would make sure to switch to diet tonic as there was a pretty big difference in calories.

vodca and soda water, not tonic, with lime, zero sugar and calories, also no hangover

[IronFreakX]

perfectly fine , just keep it in ur cheat meal

a couple of glasses of dry red wine shouldnt hurt during the week

Alcohol is at the top of the macro list, in terms of what will be used for energy. Since Alcohol has no where to be stored it will be used as energy first, and nothing else willbe used until all the alcohol is used. Don't be overly concerned about the carbs in your beer etc... Its the alcohol that does the damage. Alcohol aslo, decreases test, increases cortisol, drecreases Fat oxidation, wrecks blood sugar, dehydrates muscles and increases estrogen. YAY!

alcohol = 7kcal/g (almost as much cal/g as Fat)

2-3 shots of 151 chased w/water.

Yeah, it's hardcore and will be hell for the first shot or two, but it works!

Buddha would make me hold up a Jack in the Box at 1 a.m. and eat them out of house and home, so I can't go near that!
