Can I sing my way slim?

I’ve been exercising a lot lately. My vocal cords, that is. I got Band Hero (aka the funnest game ever) for Christmas and have been belting out Duran Duran and Taylor Swift for days. Which got me curious as to whether singing will help me burn off all the Sugar Plum cocktails (a drink I’ve been mixing at home since I discovered it at Grace restaurant — a delish mix of prosecco, white grape juice and a tiny splash of pomegranate juice served in a sugar-rimmed flute) I’ve been downing over the holidays.
Alas, sadly, the answer is no. According to a 2005 study, singing is not the solution to slimming down, and might even be linked to a predisposition to weight gain. Gulp. Looks like I’ll have to pull on my sneakers for some speedwork after all.
