There’s a lovely red from Bordeaux – let’s begin there

Ava is always looking for the next miracle diet.  Sometimes she makes me participate which always puts me in a nasty mood. Don’t you remember the carrot/ginger soup debacle several months ago? Oh, that was horrible.

I was having PTSD flashbacks of that awful week when I found this fascinating study.

Ava – this one I’m willing to give a go. 

I’ll give you a short synopsis so you don’t have to read the long and boring article. Essentially it blathers on for several paragraphs about some studies Danish scientists did about drinking wine and obese patients. Mostly it’s uninteresting, and I stopped reading after about four paragraphs when the article began quoting grams and kilocalories. Blah blah blah. I skimmed along further looking for good parts where they stated just how much weight could be expected to be lost using this method but I couldn’t find any hard data.

Honestly, I think the best explanatory information was listed in the headline: RED WINE IN MODERATION MAY LEAD TO WEIGHT LOSS.

Really, the whole lot of hyphenated scientists are not very helpful. They’re probably all skinny. I find that most skinny people aren’t very helpful. You might think this is a gross generalization but, I bet if you think back to the few really skinny people you know and have met, they are not helpful people.

Especially about weight loss. They all say stupid things like, “diet and exercise.” Whatever.

Holy Cow! Here's red wine as a dessert! It's like somebody up there loves us!

So, the first meeting of the Quill Sisters Weight Loss Support Group will be meeting in the bar after work on Friday.  Our working hypothesis we will be testing is: Drink Red Wine Until You’re Not Hungry Anymore.

Are you in?
