Does anybody else use binge drinking as a way to lose weight?!


Question: When I start feeling alittle on the bloated side, I drink a fifth of tequila, in shots of course, but over the course of the night will polish off that puppy. Well, usually, over the next immediate day I will have lost about 5 lbs and another 5 over the course of a couple days....is this safe?

Alcohol dehydrates you, and 5 pounds is about how much water weight you will lose if you drink a fifth of tequila. If you consider the fact that there are about 100 calories in 1 shot, how many calories do you suppose are in a fifth? So, while you are losing water weight you are gaining fat weight from the calories. If you keep this up over time you will gradually gain weight.

umm NO
that is called a drinking problem.. you might want to look into help for that

Oh yea, stay the course...Also, start smoking while you do it...The pounds will melt off!

1) If you continue doing this, your liver will be shot to hell. I would stop if I were you.
2) Alcohol actually tends to make you gain weight over time (beer belly?). That is why they say one of the cardinal rules of dieting is to limit the amount of alcohol you take in.

doesnt drinking is fatning?

If you are serious about weight loss, then quit screwing around with the tequila and get on the crack diet asap ! OMG of course a tequila weight loss plan is completely safe !!

wtf is wrong with you??? OF COURSE ITS NOT OK!!!
quit drinking,get off your lazy deriere,& Lose weight the PROPER way. it's called diet and exercise. = )

Yeah I'm also on the Wine diet, I've lost 5 days already :)

Drinking to lose weight is like spending money to get rich. You're doing the opposite of what you should be doing.

Sure it's safe! Plus it puts a lovely haze on all the things that are annoying you (such as feeling a bit on the bloated side, or damn annoying attorneys and legals battles). Cheers to you!
