Will 1 pint of lager undo my dieting work?!


Question: Will 1 pint of lager undo my dieting work?
I'm trying to lose 9-10kg and my target is to lose 2.5 kgs (5.5 pounds) in a week. I went on a healthy eating diet, snacking on fruit and veg and decreased my portions 2 days ago and I've already lost 3 pounds. Yesterday, I did a 30-min run on the treadmill, 20 mins on the bike and 20 mins on the rowing machine. Today I don't have time although I'm continuing with the healthy eating. I plan to work out tomorrow however.

Tonight, after work I'd love to have just ONE pint with workmates before heading off home. Will this undo my work?

Answers:

No, but the only way you'll lose 2.5kgs in a week is if you starve yourself and it'll mostly water weight anyway. Also be aware that due to water retention your weight can change by up to 5lbs in a day, so you should weight yourself once a week and look for a trend in weight loss, not day to day changes.
