Duration: 36 seconds

Have you ever considered how alcohol can play a role in the food choices that you make? And it’s not just the food choices that you make when you’ve had maybe a few extra glasses of wine or a few extra drinks, it’s also the calories from those drinks in themselves that can make an impact in your weight loss journey.

If you have any questions about weight loss or meal planning, please contact your local registered dietitian.
