No More Starbucks???

Hit your calorie goals and manage your macros...don't micro manage your micros unless you have some compelling reason to do so...i.e. medical issue, allergy, etc....even then, when you manage your macros (carbs/protein/fat) and try to get a balance macro ratio, things just tend to workout fine.

awesome! I just had a skinny caramel latte, sugar-free syrup. so no sugars. and, it tasted warm and yummy! :-) funny about that guy borrowing your abs! yes! :-) I love this place already!

try a minimal amount of syrup eg one pump, or half as much as usual or whatever instead of the sugar free. It still has sweetness and is somehow more satsfying

All the high calorie Starbucks drinks are great tasting........but high calorie is followed by high fat reserves.

I continue to drink Starbucks coffee to this day.......just coffee......not all the additives that spike the calorie content.

Doesn't anybody drink coffee....just for the taste of the coffee? Do lots of people drink fancy coffee drinks so that they can spike their calorie intake? Unfortunately, calories usually taste really good, so we eat them.

I will get a cafe mocha maybe twice a year now. Funny. It doesn't taste as good as it used too.

Same thing happened with fast food. Quite eating it (for the most part), now it doesn't taste as good as it used to.

Same thing happened with cigarettes. Quite smoking them. Now they taste and smell terrible.

Pattern here.....addictive things (high calories (fat, sugar), high nicotine) taste good when your addicted. After addiction, no so much.

I guess.....if I quit drinking coffee (caffeine is addictive), it won't taste good after several years ....shudder.

I drink Starbucks every day, sometimes twice a day. I order a Grande Bold...it's $2.10 here. I have to have it, I am a Bold junkie.

All the other drinks they sell have no appeal to me, I'd rather go to dairy queen.

Calories aren't the devil though, and if you enjoy coffee with extras then why not?

Agree, calories aren't the devil. But too much of a good thing would cost me money to replace all my clothing with plus sizes.....not to mention the health costs of being obese, nor the social stigma, nor the reduced energy levels, etc. etc.

Too much of a good thing can be a bad thing.

which is an overall balance thing, not a coffee thing....

You work your treats in. I've lost all this weight without giving up vanilla lattes, wine, chocolate, cheese etc

FYI, the sugar in the skinny lattes are from the milk, not any added sugar.

No way! I regularly enjoy Starbucks. I get the Sugar-Free Hazelnut Soy Latte. It's sooooo good :-) Plus it's only 140 calories There are ways to get great stuff at Starbucks that won't kill your calorie deficit or put you over on your sugar intake.

Not trying to be a downer, but this girl I work with started drinking a frappe-whatever every day, and gained 20 pounds in 6 months! She;s still drinking them, too. Just make sure you account for the calories!

I'm not understanding the topic? 'No Starbucks' does not make sense to me :drinker:

My white mochas are 350 cals and alot of sugars. So far, I lost 40 lbs without giving them up. You will have to pry them from my cold dead hands......Not gonna do it!!

I too an in confusion as to the beaming of that phrase.....LOL?
I ignore MFP sugar limit. I changed my sugar setting to sodium.
I have Startbucks 2-3 times a month. Never the 'skinny' (art sweetener headaches). I lost my weight.

And just because something taste good to me doesn't mean I am addicted to it....now, if coming off of it for a long enough period changes the taste maybe it was an addiction. I dunno.
