as a regular at diet clubs over the years, most people swap to gin or vodka with a low cal mixer instead....

As a friend of mine says, wine is just wet calories.

I don't drink alcohol but I can see her point.

Depends how much wine is being consumed. 1 glass a day, probably not. I bottle a day, possible, especially as cutting back this much wine would be so much better for your friend's health and they will feel so much better they may well feel like taking some exercise.

Not quite but I can say that no drinking wine whilst doing Slimming World has given me a much better weight loss than I have had before while dieting. Almost a stone in January.

Has anyone ever managed to lose weight by giving up wine, but otherwise eating a normal diet?

Asking for a friend!
