    My confession...(starbucks question)

    Hello everyone!

    Today is day # 18 on Atkins. I absolutely see weight loss and have clear skin and more energy - EXCEPT - I think I might be stalling myself or not losing as much because of a winter addiction I have.

    STARBUCKS. (the devil)

    I order a tall (small) DECAF Cappacino, made with heavy cream, and 1 splenda.

    So they don't use milk or half and half and it's decaf...I have about one of these everyday.

    I tried to make it as Atkins acceptable as possible. Do you think this is bad?
    Thoughts??

    PLUS - this is probably bad too but the first time I ever did atkins I got to my BEST body and I had an atkins desert treat after dinner every night - a cocunut atkins bar (not a meal bar) but a desert bar. It's my treat everyday. Should I completely stop this? I'm still losing weight so I dont' know if it's necessary but..just wondering what all of you think...

      You are allowed decaf coffee on Atkins, and a certain amount of cream, and 3 servings of sweetener. NO one can call your cappucino 'bad.'

      Bodies react to the bars and such individually. The only way to know for sure if they stall you is to stop eating them and see what happens. But ultimately, you are in charge of what works for you and what does not.

          OK - thanks, that was good enough I could ALMOST taste it. Unfortunately, that's where I must stop. One leads to another, and another; pretty soon it could become a monster...

          Examples
          • Tall White Americano for here.
          • Venti 7 Pump White Mocha no Whip Cream for here in to go cup.
          • Grande Strawberry & Cream with Whip Cream to go.
          • Decaf Double tall non-fat (skinny) extra-dry cappuccino.
          • Triple grande sugar free vanilla latte.
          • Iced Venti Tazo® Shaken Iced Black Tea Lemonade. (these are sweetened by default with classic syrup so you'd only need to specify if you wanted it unsweetened, or sweetened with splenda).
          • Tall Green Tea Frappuccino Blended Creme.
          • Venti Vanilla Bean Frappuccino Blended Creme.
          • Grande White Chocolate Double Chocolaty Chip Frappuccino Blended Creme
          • Grande with Whip Mocha Frappuccino Light Blended Coffee
          • Single Grande White Chocolate Mocha
          • Iced Quad Venti with Whip Skinny Caramel Macchiato
          • For Here, Iced, Half-Caf, Quad, Grande, Soy, Starbucks Doubleshot™ on Ice + Energy

            No, Unless the capachino part has sugary stuff in it. Go till you quit losing. Quit drinking it when you stall. Enjoy this way of life.
