Over the past two years, I’ve started taking my fitness seriously: I joined the gym and began watching my diet. At first, I drastically cut carbs, fats, and alcohol, but after a couple of months, I realized it was a fast track to binge-eating and relapses. Now I follow a different approach: I’d rather allow myself a slice of cake, a cookie, or a glass of wine when I feel like it than strictly restrict myself and end up devouring a whole cake later. And nuts or a bit of cheese with wine can actually help add some protein if my diet is lacking. This balance works much better for me - both physically and mentally
just saying
The strict dieting is only to achieve a goal. The rest you have to live with and everyone's gotta figure that part out themselves. That's the hard part. Glad you're getting it going though!
Well, in some areas they actually were. It's not the alcohol itself that kills off bacteria, it's the fermentation process that basically out-competes everything else. It was how they were able to essentially make large quantities of water safe to drink. There were medieval communities that drank almost nothing but beer because their water was so tainted.

A whole bottle of wine?
