Limit alcohol
Alcohol provides a lot of calories and no nutritional benefit. Calories from alcohol also tend to form fat around the waist or stomach. The number of calories in an alcoholic drink depends on the amount of alcohol it contains. The following are estimates of the number of calories in alcoholic drinks.
Drinking 1 beer at dinner every night adds 4,144 extra calories to your diet per month. This is a little more than an extra 1 lb (0.5 kg) per month. If you drink, limiting alcohol will help you lose weight.
