I'm not a big alcohol drinker, but the one thing I will drink is Baileys Irish cream. I knew it had a lot of calories but considering I never drink more than half of an ice filled glass, I always assumed I couldn't be consuming more than 100 calories. Well the devil is a liar! That sucker has 327 calories for 100ml. I measured out 100ml of water today and realized its little more than one a ladle. A ladle I tell you! No wonder the weight is taking so long to come off, because I've been having a glass nearly every other night. And the only reason I have been drinking so much of it, is that it was on offer so I bought two. How I deeply regret it. So all this time, I've been under estimating my calories.
The lack of carbs in my diet has really made me want something sweet, so I've been going for the Baileys assuming it had no more than 100 calories.
I'm so ANNOYED! and I feel cheated. I could have eaten a whole meal for that amount of calories
Anyway, I went swimming today for the first time in probably 3 years, It was really enjoyable. I can't wait to go tomorrow. Shame I can't get a proper sense of calories lost but it was still relaxing.
The lesson is any sugary alcohol drinks are not good for weight loss
