RANDOM THOUGHTS

winefestnews.comStrictly speaking, you could maintain and maybe lose weight this holiday season by keeping to a diet of wine only. Average calories per a 5 ounce glass of wine are from 105 to 120. For argument sakes, let’s say that you can maintain your weight with an intake of 2,500 calories a day. Hey, that’s real easy math! That means you can have somewhere around 20 to 24 glasses a wine a day. A couple of caveats with this thought process.
First, you should gobble down some vitamins with several of those glasses of wine. Second, without saying more, NO DRIVING A VEHICLE. So you don’t think you could go for entire day with anything to eat. If you have read enough articles about food, all of them say that almonds are fattening but real good for you. So here is another scoop. They have about 7 calories per almond. So if you drink a glass of wine per hour along with a handful (that’s 7 almonds) you are at an average of 160 calories per serving. Divide a serving by that magical 2,500 calories a day and, walla, you can have just under 16 servings a day.

If you sleep (and who wouldn’t with this life style) an average of 8 hours a day, once again you can easily see that every waking hour you can have a glass of wine and a handful of almonds. GopherIT!
