Can anyone recommend a good alternative to alcohol? I find after a long day it's a nice means to relax and wind down and let off steam. But it hinders weight loss and is overall unhealthy. Desert like cheesecake, muffins, pie, would be nice except I am of course trying to lose weight and they are not much healthier than beer anyway.
The lists I see online offer things like:
- Exercise: I already do that every morning to get my day started
- Meditation: No. I am bored out of my mind.
- Do something with friends: I do this too. Sometimes after this I would like to drink something to relax and wind down.
- Deep breathing: This is helpful. But afterwards I sometimes really wish I could have a beer and wind down.
- Reduce caffeine: I don't drink anything containing caffeine anymore
- Mocktails: These are cocktails without the fun and all the sugar high/crash.
- Matcha tea: Didn't like the taste and it contains caffeine.
- Herbal tea: I drink this during the day while I'm working. Drinking something else at night would be nice.
I have associated consuming something specific as opening the door to the end of the workday and the beginning of relaxing/have fun time. I would like to keep this habit, but simply replace what I currently consume with something else
There are plenty of other suggestions online, but often they seem slanted to encouraging the reader buying what the website wants to sell/promote (Kava, GABBA, L-theanine, etc etc).
Any thoughts? Honest opinions?
