When you are on a diet, alcohol is usuallythe first thing to go. On average there are about 453 calories in one margarita and 210 calories in a mojito. Add that to your regular calorie intake and your slim waistline doesn’t look so slim anymore.
Luckily you don’t need to deprive yourself of some cocktail fun while trying to stay in shape. Bethenny Frankel of The Real Housewives of New York, and author of the best-selling book Naturally Thin, has really shaken up the beverage industry by introducing the very popular Skinnygirl Margarita. Her diet cocktail concept allows you to enjoy a drink with the girls without the added calories.
