Tired of hearing how the only way to lose weight is cardio?
Are you the friend that beats around the bush when the group decides to go on a diet, convinced there must be another way to shed a few pounds?
Look no further. The answer is wine.
According to two new studies from Washington State University and Harvard Medical School (I mean, come on, Harvard), one or two glasses of red wine before bed can be just the thing you need to lose that last bit of belly fat.
Harvard did a study that tracked 20,000 women through 13 years, and came to the conclusion that those who drank two glasses of wine a day were 70% less likely to become overweight.
The science behind this is in the fat, or the different kinds, to be exact. The polyphenol called resveratrol in red wine transforms normal fat into a version of fat that’s easier to burn off, according to Washington State U.
The added bonus of drinking red wine at night is that it helps to suppress your appetite, so you’ll kick the urge to go into the bright light (of your refrigerator).

Also, there’s the extra added bonus of just, well, drinking wine.
If you’re not one to drink before bedtime, or at all, there are plenty of other sources of resveratrol found in foods you can easily pick up while grocery shopping. Try grapes, blueberries, cranberries, peanuts, pistachios, and even dark chocolate.
Or even pair one of those with a glass of red if you’re feeling wild.
