Avoiding Fat Traps at the Coffee House!

By making smart choices at home or on your next trip to the coffee house, you can enjoy the health benefits of soothing winter beverages without packing on the pounds!

• Try working your way from full fat milk down to skim milk. Start with 2%, then switch to 1%, and before you know it, skim milk won’t seem so bad!
• If you can’t kick the sugar, and artificial sweeteners aren’t your thing, try cutting the amount of sugar by half. It’s all about baby steps!
• Specify how many “pumps” of syrup you want in your drink. One pump will give you just the flavor you’re craving with 20 calories, rather than not specifying and allowing your barista to add up to 100 extra calories!
• Test out sugar-free syrup options and see how you like them.
• Always skip the whip! Just this step alone will save 70 calories and almost 10 grams of fat.

Try these tips so you can keep warm and stay slim all winter long!
