Go to Starbucks a lot?

 

Yup, me too!

   

 

 

Let's talk coffee drinks for a second. Today I went to starbucks before the 7am class and saw a huge group of people who just finished their boot camp class enjoying a drink together. The community aspect of this is awesome, however the drinks they were having weren't so awesome.

These people just got finished sweating there ass off and working hard, now they were at Starbucks having a frappuccino. The worst part about it was that the instructor of the boot camp was there with them simply watching them waste the work they just put in.

The bottom line is that Coffee is amazing, one of natures greatest gifts in my opinion. However be careful with what type of drinks you choose. 

Please check this link for more information. The calories, fat, fiber, and protein don't really concern me to much. Take a look at the Carbs aka sugar which causes an increased insulin spike and ultimately stored fat.

Your best bet.....a cup of coffee or espresso with nothing in it. Need something in there though? Try half & half or heavy whipping cream (have to ask for it). Both of these have some fat to suppress the insulin spike you will receive from the carbs in the milk.

Great point on the coffee. If you are at Starbucks don't forget that they have cinnamon or nutmeg that you can add to your coffee too. I add a shake or 2 of cinnamon to my hot black coffee. Tastes pretty good.

J, good point on the espresso (not Expresso..) I usually order a double shot plain now.

Here's a tip: You can ask for it in a hot ceramic cup (like how it should be consumed...) and pay 10 cents cheaper for it, plus-- it tastes so much better as opposed to a paper cup.
