DIET AND EXERCISE are the first things most people look to when considering weight management, but for many of us, alcohol intake should be at the top of that list too.
As well as having overall negative health implications, alcohol is calorie dense, as Professor Donal O’Shea, chair of the Royal College Of Physicians’ Policy Group on Obesity, points out:
"People often don’t consider the amount of calories in alcohol as part of their look-back at their daily intake. They’ll consider a gin and tonic, at 160 calories, to be the same as an Americano, at four calories."
For example, on an evening out with dinner, drinking two pints before eating and two glasses of wine during dinner totals around 620 calories from alcohol alone.
