Cos I could really do with a drink! But I've been doing MFP and don't want to sacrifice 200 cals for my usual glass of red.

Neat gin?! Grin

Not sure, but the only thing my diabetic MIL thought she could drink was whisky and water.

*one single only!

Gin or vodka with slimline tonic.

I drank dry gin martinis and still lost 3 stone Grin .

My diet drink of choice has always been a gin and slimline tonic.

But I'd love to lurk and find out if there are other options.

**and often as not she'd decide she'd rather have a small roast potato instead.

Ooh I do have gin, and a hunt in the cupboard has unearthed tonic (not slimline). I might allow myself one later and drink it veery slowly.

Does slimline tonic taste ok then? I'm not usually a fan of diet drinks.

When I was dieting, I did quite enjoy a vodka and diet coke. I think there's about 50calories in a single vodka (I could be wrong).

Slimline tonic is better than most low-cal drinks, IMO, because its meant to taste bitter anyway.

Vodka and soda water with fresh lime. 30 cals.

hugoagogo · 09/01/2014 19:37

a shot of vodka 25mls has 55 cals- plain brown envelope's measures must be weeny!

What is a 'dry gin martini'?
Sounds lovely.

trashcansinatra · 09/01/2014 19:58

Fever Tree light tonic is naturally light and just 17 calories for 100ml. Tastes. Much better than most tonics.

I did the gin and tonic diet and lost 3 days (old joke, sorry)

BunnyLebowski · 09/01/2014 20:01

Gin Martini Oblomov.

My favourite drink in the world. Not for the faint hearted!

Dollybird86 · 09/01/2014 20:27

Vodka and slimline tonic about 13 calories!

Oblomov · 09/01/2014 20:39

Ooooohhh thank you. Looks very strong!!

Northumberlandlass · 09/01/2014 20:41

Gin & slimline for me....I feel positively evangelical Smile

AmberLeaf · 09/01/2014 22:34

Vodka.

PigletJohn · 09/01/2014 22:48

alcohol contains a lot of calories, so it will be one will little or no alc in it.

NuggetofPurestGreen · 12/01/2014 17:14

Vodka alone has 55 cals a measure (or 85 in Ireland) so vodka and slimline couldn't have only 13 calories. Unless your shot of vodka is about 2mls!
