Weight loss experts recommend drinking VODKA over other alcoholic drinks to stay summer slim

Summer is creeping ever closer, which means embarking on weight-loss goals for millions.

Dieting and exercise are the cornerstones of any successful fat loss journey, but experts have revealed the best hacks to speed up the process.

Some fitness experts recommend swapping out beers for diet soda and vodka to speed weight loss.

Just one pint of beer sets someone back about 200 calories on average, whereas a vodka shot and diet soda falls under 100.

While no one recommends drinking in excess, opting for lower-calorie alternatives on a night out can make a difference when it comes to weight loss.

Daniel Dargan, a fitness instructor from Northern Ireland, told DailyMail.com: ‘A lot of guys I know who are fantastic throughout the week go on to overconsume on the weekend.

‘If they are going out, I would say instead of having beer or cider, they should have a  gin or vodka. They are the lightest on calories. And go for singles instead of doubles.’

He added: ‘You can still go out and enjoy yourself, but also be in the best shape of your life, so when it comes round to the end of the month your fitness plan hasn’t been completely ruined and is still on track.’
