Hi Guys and Gals, Welcome to Fitness News #7
How's the fruit consumption going? Some good deals on grapes and the cherries are great. For the record, the Banana I brought today cost $1.20

Instructors have received regular communications advising them to continue with the existing cover music. I think we can forget any hope of original music returning for quite some time. Time to put this topic to rest…

Saturday night I was having dinner in a restaurant and having a glass of wine. It got me thinking of a lady I know who regularly complained that she did all this exercise, watched her diet and she couldn't shift that final bit of weight. However whenever you went over her place, she would have a glass of wine in her hand.
So what impact does alcohol have on weight? 1 gram of alcohol has 7 calories (29kj). A kilo of fat is approximately 7000 calories, therefore 1000 grams of alcohol = 1 kilo of fat.
Now if 750ml bottle of wine is 12% alcohol, then the bottle holds 90 grams of alcohol, about 22.5 grams per glass. Divide 1000 grams by 22.5 grams and we can determine that 44.5 glasses of wine (4 glasses per bottle). Have a glass of wine with your dinner every night and you put on a kilo every 6 ½ weeks.
Now if my maths is correct then that's 8.2kg of weight gain per year. Two glasses per night and your packing on 16.4kg per year.
So what to do? Simply alcohol needs to be an occasional food. I don't have any in my house and when I really feel like a drink I walk down to the local and buy the beer or wine that I wish to drink. I know better that to have it in the house, I'll end up drinking it every night.
