Coffee and how it has changed!!...

Less than 20 years ago, a standard cup of coffee with whold milk and sugar measured in at 8 ounces and 45 calories. Today, many java junkies have replaced that cup with a Starbucks 16-ounce Grande Mocha Frappuccino, which weighs in at a whopping 380 calories (www.starbucks.com). To burn all those extra calories, you would have to walk for at least an hour. Successful weight “losers” control their food portions. In fact, research suggests portion control is the greatest predictor of successful weight loss (Logue et al. 2004). Help clients control portions by teaching them to read nutrition labels; carefully measure out servings; eat only a single helping; use smaller serving dished; and resist the urge to “clean their plates”.
