You might be skinny as a rail, but if you’re not, you might want to take a look at the calorie content in one of those flavored lattes as it’s going to be as much as a bowl of ice cream.
You can save a lot of calories by having it made with skim milk and instead of flavored syrup, have it sweetened with Splenda. But then you may not like it as much. You might also inquire about sugar free syrups.
I have to watch my weight, so only indulge in one of these occasionally because one of these equates to about a third of my daily calorie intake.
Just sayin’...
A large skim latte is about 100 calories, maybe 125 with Splenda or sugar free syrup.
Not a bad deal.
I quit the artificial sweetners last month and have been liqued fasting for more than diet reasons.
Since I stopped using artificial sweetners, too many diet 7ups, I dropped 10 lbs in two weeks and have stopped craving sweets.
I use certain real fruit or juice extract in my herb cold tea for sweetness and it does not effect my BG.
I drink allot of Virgen Maries to fill full.
The Latte thing could possibly be just a new temptation.
I would use skim or 2% milk in a steamer though always drink skim or 2% anyway.
Typically do not keep cakes/cookies/candy in the house so a lil cocount syrup may not be bad.
Unless it is made with corn syrup.
