Find a Substitute

Mocktails are all the rage right now, but if your goal is to lose weight, you may want to consider something like a heavily limed club soda, or even a tea. It depends on the situation. For example:

  • Social pressure: If you're at a restaurant and everyone's getting margaritas, ask the bartender for a fresh grapefruit-lime juice with a salted rim. It looks exactly the same, trust. Out at a bar and feeling anxious about people pressuring you? CLUB. WITH. LIME.
  • Home habits: If one part wine, one part Netflix is your standard recipe for a weekday evening, swap in a tea. It can be similarly relaxing and antioxidant packed, and may help fill the void while you kick the habit.
