No sugar, just alcohol. Straight liquor or low carb drinks.
I realized this morning that as a fat teenager I learned to lose weight by drinking alcohol.
28 years later and alcoholic I still have not achieved calorie and weight balance without drinking.
I realize every single time I got fat in adulthood I was sober. 50-70 pounds in each pregnancy, multiple, serial cycles of getting thin during an alcoholic episode and rapidly gaining it back in sobriety.
I still don't know how to eat to achieve weight balance. Toddlers know how, but I dont.
