Scotch....ambrosia??

Guys...

In my list of simple pleasures of life, Scotch ranks quite high and and I indulge in it everyday without any remorse or worry. However, in the recent past I started using this site and logging my calories regularly without fail. To my utter dismay and chagrin, I find that Scotch is the the main culprit or contributor for shooting over the 2000 cal daily mark, despite all other changes to the food in take.

The question to my fellow comrades waging the battle of bulge, do I've to give up this simple pleasure? If the obvious suggestion is moderation, then what is 'moderation'?

Woudn't life suck without such simple pleasures? Any thoughts, ideas..?

I wouldn't give it up... I'd save it as an end of week treat

Moderation is subjective and depends on what you're drinking daily!

1 oz is only about 70 calories.  2 on the rocks is less than 150 calories.  That sounds pretty moderate to me!  Just don't forego nutritious food calories for empty alcohol ones.

Edit:  And yes, life WOULD suck without such simple pleasures!!

I love scotch. Scotchy, scotch, scotch. Here it goes down, down into my belly.

I agree!  I'm a vodka girl, and although I never indulged everyday, I've found that keeping it to the weekends only keeps me happy without messing up my weight loss.  And probably having it less frequently will make you enjoy it even more when actually do get to drink it! :-)

What do you love?
I love poetry, and a glass of scotch, and, of course, my friend Baxter here.

In same boat, but would never give it up!!!

 

I have started drinking really expensive scotches and find i drink alot less, cause i'm actually pretty cheap in general, but i enjoy/ Appreciate more due to diet and price of the dram.

I think maxc has the right idea. Buy really good scotch and drink less of it, and you'll be happy all around!

That's what I do with my gin--only the good stuff, and just a little of it.

Let's grab a few fingers and contemplate a tad longer.......it's a doozie.....
