So cruising through a bunch of emails and press releases, one in particular caught my eye. One that says it is possible to lose weight and still drink wine. Now, is this possible? I thought that wine, beer and spirits were 'empty calories' and were really not supposed to be on a healthy eating plan.

Then along comes Jared Grant, who just released a book in paperback and for Kindle, that is called, " The Wine Diet: How I lost 50 pounds while drinking two glasses of wine every night". Will this book prove all the others wrong?

According to a press release, here is what Mr Grant had this to say about diets in general:

"Most weight loss diets follow similar patterns: Do this for the next ten days and lose so many pounds, or eat this for the next two weeks and lose so many pounds. The problem with this approach is that these diets have an end date, which means they don't help you stay thin. Once you complete the diet, you return to the way you were eating previously and eventually end up back in your fat pants."

Does this book say that wine is 'bad' or sweets (or beer) for that matter? Is moderation of all things that we love the key?
