Alright, so the title of this blog is rather different.  You may be wondering what I mean, or you may have figured it out.  I am going to talk about people and their coffee specialty drinks, or whatever they get at the coffee shop.  I have many clients that I have battled with over the subject of coffee shops, Starbucks, McDonalds, etc. 

The problem is, people will not drink good old coffee by itself, they have to dump a ton of crap in, so they can drink the funny tasting stuff.  I will admit that I love the smell.  This is where coffee turns into these high calorie drinks, or desserts as I call them.  Hey let's run and get a frappechargo to keep us going today!  Or let's grab a flatte, that sounds like something you should do in the bathroom?  Instead they should be grabbing a bunch of fruit to eat on the way to work, but they claim they have no time for that, so they stop at the coffee shop and wait in line?? Ha...

I get asked a lot, 'Why am I not losing weight?'

After finding out that the person drinks one or two of these each day, I have to let them know that these drinks are loaded with calories; sugar and milk as well as other things.  Do they want diabetes, if so then keep chugging away, why not try 4 a day!  Don't try putting the artificial sweetener in your drink instead of sugar, you may want to look into those.  Or I will just tell you that your body has a hard time breaking it down, so it stores it, and then you become a toxic sweetener ready to get cancer...

On the serious side, everyone should limit their intake on all this stuff!  So what if you are tired for a bit and get a headache a few days?  Get over it.  If you would eat, sleep, and exercise right, you would feel awesome everyday!  If you like the coffee bean, then have it de-caff with nothing else added. 

So how are you doing on this? Leave your comments below.
