Okay, here's the thing. The hardest part of weight loss for me personally is cutting alcohol. No I am not a raging alcoholic but the first thing i do when i get home from work is pour myself a glass of wine, a big one and unfortunately i prefer sweet wine which contains more calories.

My question is: If i stick to my daily calorie intake but include wine calories is this okay? For instance, with 2 glasses of wine, i consume 1300 calories broken down as follows: 30% Fat, 30% protein, 25% carbs and 15% alcohol. Can you still lose weight by making provisions for the calories you want to consume in the form of alcohol?

We all wanna know!
