What? Bananas are about 3% calories from fat. While fruit is generally minimized on MWL, it is not because of fat content.
Alcohol is not part of MWL. There is a good chapter in the MWL book explaining the effects of coffee (caffeine) and alcohol on weight loss. While alcohol does not turn to fat, it is calorically very dense, nearly twice as many calories per fluid ounce as a coke. Liquid calories of any kind do not affect satiety, so ideally liquid calories of any kind are eliminated. Furthermore, alcohol raises insulin dramatically, and insulin encourages fat to be stored, and discourages fat from being metabolized for energy. The need for the body to detoxify the alcohol means those calories get used first, no exceptions.
Alcohol, like other calorie dense foods, are best avoided when losing weight. Once at a healthy weight, one can experiment to see what calorie dense foods, and in what amounts can be consumed without gaining weight.
You may want to try eliminating the wine, and revisiting brown rice and quinoa, which have a much lower calorie density and higher satiety.
