Read More »You might have decided to embark upon a low sugar diet. Or a low carb one. Or just a low calorie one. Or just looking after your health. Whatever your goal and whatever way you’re looking to achieve it, some things make sticking to it a little more complicated. Like the weekend. Or eating out. Or perhaps more regularly, alcohol. Alcoholic drinks are a minefield when it comes to their nutrition. There are so many different types and brands, each with its own nutritional label, which isn’t always easy to find. For people on a diet, this can pose a problem. Because there are only 55 calories in a vodka shot, but a Pina Colada cocktail can top the charts with up to 450 calories. That’s a pretty big difference. And whilst it’s more than okay to indulge a little, it might not be the best idea to make it your regular alcoholic drink of choice. Whether you’re on a diet, looking to cut down on carbs or sugar, or just in search of a low-calorie or sugar-free alcohol to become your new go-to at the pub, there is good news. You have options. You can still enjoy a tipple without going overboard on sugar. There are plenty of choices out there for those who drink alcohol. As with anything, moderation is key. But here’s a list of low sugar options if you’re in the mood for a Friday night drink. Or a Tuesday night. No judgement here.
