What to Sip: The Best Holiday Cocktails

It is a cocktail party -- you expect to see some neon-tinged fizz. Unfortunately, these trendy drinks are often chock-full of sugar. Choose the one you really want, Zied suggests, so you won't even miss the second round.

Sangria (4 ounces) = 82 calories
Mojito (one drink) = 135 calories
Champagne with Chambord (4 ounces champagne, 1 ounce Chambord) = 159 calories
Lemon Drop (one drink) = 237 calories

Your Best Choice?

If all of these sound equally delicious, go for the Sangria. "Both the red wine and the fruit contain antioxidants," Zied says.

i like that they ended on a positive note. I think self-esteem is such a huge part of loosing weight. As soon as I started REALLY valuing myself and started having fun I stopped obsessing over foods and the pounds melted off. Love yourself, love food--go overboard on the former not the latter :)
