Can You Lose Weight and Still Enjoy a Glass of Wine? Yes—And Here’s How!

For years, we’ve been told that weight loss means sacrifice. Cut carbs, ditch sugar, give up alcohol—basically, stop enjoying food and life. But what if I told you that you can lose weight while still indulging in the things you love, including a daily glass of wine?

That’s exactly what I did.

The Secret to Sustainable Weight Loss

At my heaviest, I felt like I was constantly fighting food. I’d tried every diet under the sun—calorie counting, low-carb, fasting—and yet, nothing stuck. I was miserable, constantly feeling guilty for eating “bad” foods, and worst of all, I wasn’t seeing lasting results.

Then came the wake-up call. A work colleague mistook me for being pregnant and asked when I was due. It was mortifying, but in hindsight, it was the moment that changed everything.

Shortly after, I went on a bucket-list trip to Italy—and what I saw there flipped everything I thought I knew about weight loss upside down. Italians weren’t obsessing over calories. They weren’t avoiding pasta or skipping dessert. And yet, they looked healthy, happy, and full of energy.

What was their secret?

They ate real food, savoured every bite, and embraced balance. They also didn’t deprive themselves. A glass of wine with dinner? Absolutely. But instead of mindlessly drinking, they treated it as part of the meal—sipping, enjoying, and pairing it with food.

That trip transformed my mindset. Instead of following yet another restrictive diet, I decided to embrace the Italian way of eating. And guess what?

I lost 88 pounds in 8 months—without ever giving up wine.

Introducing The Wine-A-Day Weight Loss Plan

I know firsthand how frustrating dieting can be, which is why I created The Britalian Wine-A-Day Weight Loss Plan. It’s a 7-day plan designed to help you lose up to 2kg (or more, if you have more to lose!) while still enjoying the things that make life enjoyable—good food, good company, and a daily glass of wine.

What’s Inside?

🍷 A full 7-day meal plan with simple, delicious, and satisfying recipes

🍷 Balanced nutrition strategies to promote sustainable weight loss

🍷 Mindful eating techniques to enjoy food and wine guilt-free

🍷 Guidance on choosing the best wines to complement your meals

This plan is all about proving that weight loss doesn’t have to be miserable. You don’t need to give up your favourite meals or avoid social occasions. You just need a balanced, sustainable way to approach food and drink.

Why This Works

Diets fail because they’re too restrictive. The moment you feel deprived, you crave what you “can’t” have—and that leads to frustration, bingeing, and giving up altogether.

But when you allow yourself to enjoy the things you love (in moderation), weight loss becomes easy, natural, and enjoyable. No more guilt, no more feeling out of control—just a way of eating that actually works long-term.
