Here is an easy way that you can accelerate your fat loss progress by making a simple nutritional tweak to your morning routine.
Many people consume one or more cups of coffee every day (some more than others)... While black coffee by itself is not high in calories or saturated fat all of the 'stuff' that gets thrown in with it adds up quickly and can have a negative effect on your fat loss goals.
Here are some interesting stats for you,
1 Cup of Dunkin Donuts Coffee with Cream and Sugar:
Total calories: 90 cal
Saturated Fat: 54 cal
Cholesterol: 15 mg
Sodium: 15 mg
Total Carbs: 8 g
Protein: 1 g
If you drink one cup of the coffee in the above example every day, after one week you would have ingested an extra 630 calories.
Let's say you drink two of these a day. After one week you would have taken in an extra 1260 calories!
Three cups/day = 1890 calories/week!
I know some people who visit Starbucks everyday and get a Tall Cafe Mocha with Whipped Cream.
Get this:
Total calories: 340 cal
Saturated Fat: 171 cal
Cholesterol: 75 mg
Sodium: 130 mg
Total Carbs: 33 g
Protein: 10 g
Have one of those every day and you are taking inan additional 2,380 calories per week!!!!
That will NOT help you if fat loss is your goal.
In order to lose fat you need to achieve a caloric deficit (more calories burned than calories consumed).
Now that you understand the problem let me give youa simple tip that has helped me and some of my clients.
Here it is:
==> Substitute your morning coffee with a Cinch Tea <== Straight up Cinch Tea, no extra sugar.
You can eliminate 630 - 2,380 calories per week from your calorie intake with this one simple change.
This simple change will cut calories, give you your morning energy boost, and avoid the harmful effects of too much caffeine.
