    I watched this lady on the news and she explained how she watched the calories in the foods she was eating and maintained a caloric deficit. She said it was so easy because Starbucks providied nutrition values and calorie information on each package.

    I didn't realize food from a grocery store didn't have this information. I've been lying to myself!!

    "That's the cheapest and healthiest diet ever" said nobody ever. :devil:

    I can't help but think it would be cheaper to buy your own food AND hire a personal chef to make all of your meals. LOL

    I haven't really been to Starbucks much, but I do know it is insanely expensive. Even in the documentary/comedy Fathead, the dude lost weight eating McDonalds. If that is possible, then losing weight while eating at any fastfood chain is possible.

    I'd get bored of Starbucks food after about 3 days! Plus their coffee sucks..way too weak! Food in coffee shops is not designed to be lived off.

    If I could afford to eat in Starbucks for every meal I'd have a personal training session 5 days a week. Much better use of money!

    She probably will not keep the weight off. Because 1) Starbucks is an expensive habit to perpetuate (she already works 2 jobs), 2) her average daily intake was well under 900 calories a day (this is way too low!), and 3) there was absolutely no mention if exercise.
