You always welcome summer – or almost always – with a very cool and tasty cocktail and this is more than ok!
For those of you who love cocktails and often prefer them, but at the same time you are in one weight loss effortI will only tell you that you do not need to limit yourself, but to choose more correctly!
It is a fact that moderate alcohol consumption is in the life of all of us, especially during the summer months. However, as you know Drinking alcohol, which is often mixed with various sugary soft drinks, is definitely not your best ally in terms of weight loss.
Most cocktails are full of more sugar (in syrups, flavorings, soft drinks, juices) making them the least smart choice if you pay attention to your silhouette!
Here is a list of some of the most popular low calorie cocktails!
Dry Martini
A classic martini consists of gin and vermouth and is usually covered with olives or lemon slices. To reduce the number of calories, choose a dry martini, which contains more gin and less vermouth. Dry Martini contains 185 calories.
Paloma
The paloma consists of tequila, lime juice and grapefruit juice or soda. While most recipes require extra sugar, you can reduce the number of calories by skipping sugar or using a calorie-free sweetener.
Cuba Libre
Cuba libre usually consists of white rum and coca cola. You can simply ask for it to contain coca cola light, as it is a simple solution to significantly reduce both the calories and the sugar in your drink. One serving contains 225 ml of rum and light coca cola 135 calorieswhich is about 33% less than regular rum and coca cola!
Bloody Mary
If you are a fan of special flavors then definitely bloody Mary is your cocktail. After all, classics are classics for a reason. A bloody Mary has less than 150 calories!
Aperol Spritz
For most, it is the most favorite cocktail of the summer, while it is indeed a very good choice, if it is in an effort to lose weight. Contains approx 140-160 calories while it does not need to be mixed with additional sugar!
Mojito
Classic and favorite cocktail which if you do not add some granita or flavor, it contains about 170 calories and is an excellent choice! Of course, it can reach up to 400 calories, depending on what it contains.
Of course, whatever drink you choose to consume, it still contains calories, as every 1 gram of alcohol provides 7 calories.
Therefore, what is more important is to choose maybe a little more “Smartly”. Try to avoid cocktails – at least most of the time – that contain extra sugar (white or black), syrups, fruit purees and juices-soft drinks.
These in themselves already contain a lot of calories that in combination with alcohol sabotage your every effort for weight loss.
Of course, you do not need to avoid your favorite cocktail whatever it is, I just remind you to consume it in moderation or less often during the week!
