Well, now I am very disappointed. Had I known this sooner I'd have my stash of wine always full and ready to go! I guess I am still considered young enough to pick up on the habit but to think that I have missed valuable years of drinking thinking that I was preserving my figure that way is certainly a bummer.
It is interesting that the article mentions that women who drink 1-2 glasses or drinks a night tend to consume less carbs. Before getting pregnant (of course) I occasionally drank a glass of wine while cooking and then found that I wasn't very hungry afterwards. I never saw it as a positive thing, as a matter of fact I always thought I was giving up perfectly good nutrients in order to have a drink-- looks like I could've afforded to give up my food.
Thanks Diane for your interesting article, I'm sure this will shed a new light on the relationship between drinking and your weight.
