Hey all...

I am trying to cut corners where I can since I am unable to go full on with Induction at this time but I have hit a dilemma that hopefully you will all be able to help me with.

At our weekly staff meetings our boss very graciously calls in Starbucks (or the like). I feel awkward not getting anything and I don't like regular coffee. A co-worker suggested a SF vanilla breve. I know it is not made with milk, but either half/half or cream. Would this be a good compromise for now? I love the taste, but if it is just as bad as a frappe or latte, why bother.

Thanks for your input.

I guess since you're not doing Atkins, it's up to you to decide what is OK, and what is not, since I don't know what guidelines you're following.

If you don't want to drink anything, don't feel like "you have to".. This mentality can be disastrous to people trying to lose weight! Ultimately it is up to you if you want to have the coffee. You can always put a cup in front of you and then not drink it, nobody will notice, trust me, i do that sort of thing all the time when I want to avoid confrontations with people about dieting.

If you want to drink it, then by all means do, I'm not sure how it will effect your weight loss, like aphexphode said, we only know the rules of atkins. But do not drink it to please your boss!
