I don't drink very much at all, just a martini or two on the weekends. How detrimental is vodka in regards to my health and weight loss? Should i consider it a munch food and try not to have it unless my glycogen stores are low/empty??
Hmmmm.....maybe a home made bloody Mary made with fresh squeezed vegetable juice is the answer!!

Alcohol (regardless in what 'package') is a powerful appetite enhancer, especially in combination with beta-carbolines (cooked foods); they enhance each other's appetite enhancing properties.
So, when you drink, make sure not to consume any cooked food (since you want to be leaner, right?)

absolutely! FYI i have already lost 5 lbs and nearly all of the cellulite on my rear!! Do you feel that even 1 martini is horribly detrimental to health/weight loss?? Is it better to have a glass of juice before I drink or mixing the vodka\
with fresh juice?? Do you drink alcohol? If so, how do you incorporate it?

Do you want to hear that it is not horrible?
It does what it does. The combination of munch foods and alcohol is a no no, because they enhance each other's effects.
You decide what munch foods you want to eat.
And if you want to drink alcohol, you better not eat munch foods.
