Simple Tricks For Low Cal Coffee

What you don't know can hurt you, and blended coffee drinks at commercial coffee shops can have up to 500 calories in them. Shocking! If you are having these drinks in addition to your daily calorie count, then you're probably in trouble and in danger of gaining extra pounds and inches within the blink of an eye.

Luckily, there are easy ways to reduce your coffee calorie count, and some of those include making your coffee at home. At home, you have the option to create an iced or blended coffee, and all you have to do is chill your espresso or coffee beforehand. After that, you can add reduced fat milk, but make sure that you are not using whole milk or heavy cream. You can sweeten your coffee with a low cal sweetener or even one of the many flavored syrups available that are sugar and calorie free.

When you are at a coffee shop ordering a drink, stick to the same principles, and always refuse whipped cream on your coffee drink. This will cut out a large amount of calories, it is preferable to also order with nonfat milk and sugar-free syrups. Even better, consider drinking your coffee black as a calorie free way to enjoy the true flavors that a rich cup of Java provides!

Coffee Burns Calories!

Fantastic news, your cup of Joe is keeping you slim! There are some catches to this, meaning that you can't drink coffee drinks from large chains loaded with sugar and fat because that is negating your weight loss progress, but overall, the caffeine content in coffee is causing your metabolism to be charging throughout the day, even when you're at rest. This is perfect for anyone working in an office type setting because even when you are seated, you are still burning calories from your cup of Joe. I would also like to add that if you are drinking your coffee black, not only is it sugar and calorie free, but that is where the true deep taste and finish of the naked cup of Joe come into play that a true coffee connoisseur can appreciate. If that doesn't work for you, then you can also use Splenda or other calorie free sweeteners to keep your coffee skinny and your waist slim. I spoke in the last post about coffee enhancing a workout, which goes hand-in-hand with the metabolism boost that it gives you for weight loss. I would have to say that overall, coffee can be used as a powerful drink and diet friendly tool to help you shed some inches. Nice!
