Chart for revealing pitfalls and good advice on beverages
You drink milk or juice with your meal
- You are getting unnecessary calories without fiber.
Advice Drink water (you can add a little lemon). It is good for your digestion and reduces your food uptake.
You drink tea/coffee with milk, cafe latte, cocoa milk or ice tea
- Milk contains excess calories, and there are particularly many in cafe latte. Both cocoa milk and ice tea contain a lot of sugar.
Advice Try drinking black coffee/green tea, possibly with a bit of cinnamon that has a good effect on your metabolism.

You exercise once or twice weekly and cannot understand why you are not losing weight
Getting up from the dining table in time is an easy little task that can produce great results.
A main meal should ideally stabilize your blood sugar and provide 4-5 hours of satiety (possibly helped by a little snack). If you are still hungry, you may need more protein and less carbohydrate. If you have egg(s) with breakfast, you are better off choosing a different protein source for lunch.
1 Avoid intensive dieting and choose a healthy and non-fanatic lifestyle that you can comply with in the long run
