Starbucks!!!

I have recently founf out that there is a drink that Starbucks came out with again in January, 2007. I have been drinking it all week after surgery. It is fabulous. Tell them you want a: Decaf, nonfat, sugar-free Cinnamin Dolce Latte with no whip cream. I get a grande and handle it very well. I hope this helps the other Starbucks fanatics, like me.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that Latte. I always find it very light and mild. Lot's of flavour though.

I go on the starbucks website all the time and they have a calorie counter on there that will tell you exactly how much your drink or food item is. Very helpful!

Starbucks is love! Lol okay so my fav would be the vanilla bean latte... if i'm feeling like treating myself or straight black coffee - yum

I bring my vanilla latte home ... then I add fat-free chocolate coowhip , is great!!!. And instead of chocolate icream I freeze the same coolwhip. Is very light and "almost" guilt free.

I am not a big milk drinker so to get my milk in, every morning have a Tall, Non Fat Decaf sugar-free vanilla latte' or cinnamon dolce latte' extra hot. 120 calories. I am addicted! Great source of Protein and Calcium

Hey, Thanks for the tip. Man I love Starbucks! My mouth is watering thinking about it right now. Is Grande a bit big of a size to drink though? I drink the tall size which is the smallest one. Susannah

It's called a "short" and it's less than a "tall". It's not on any menu, but the baristas should be willing to make it. As a Starbucks drinker as well as a shareholder, I love hearing how much everyone enjoys Starbucks.

That sounds great. I think I'll get one tomorrow. I also have an espresso machine at home. As a matter of fact I am sipping a non fat latte over ice as I type. The espresso is from Starbucks. I bought a pound of it.

i had this after my unfill and on liquids with sugar free Syrup and it was the best coffee i have ever had in my life -people around me could smell it and i was beside myself over how good it was- seriously go out and get it immediately. I'm glad to know the calorie count isn't too bad - wasn't too worried about it that day as i was only having liquids but wondered for the future.

Ok, I totally have to jump into this thread. I spent a whopping $339 last month at Starbucks! I get a Venti iced sugar-free vanilla non-fat latte and a venti iced green tea with splenda. Its my daily routine. Both the NP and dietitian are fine with it as long as I count it as one of my Snacks (140 cals). Love that place!!!

OMG! I would never keep track of how much money I spent on Dunkin' Donuts! I usually get Starbucks before I go to work to keep my tummy from getting nervous which is the exact opposite of what caffeine does.

Your post got me thinking about how much I probably spent on fast food, or binge eating before this surgery. Then I was talking to my mom this morning and I told her I went shopping last week (groceries for two weeks) and spent 78 bucks and how upset I was. She started laughing saying she wished she spent that much! She also said she noticed I started spending money on other things like getting my car washed (I'm obsessed with my car) and just having extra money around. It really is amazing how much money we do save!!!!

I would never keep track of how much I spend either. In fact, I didn't really want to know but my DH broke out the bank statement on me and added up how many debit card transactions were to starbucks He thinks its a ridiculous way to spend our money and my mom jumps on the bandwagon when she's over too. She calls it "the latte factor" and DH says we could buy a boat for what I spend at Starbucks.

I personally haven't been able to experience the reduced grocery bill because my kids and DH just about eat us out of house and home every month so to buy things that only I can eat and then to buy all the stuff they want (healthy but different) is still quite pricey (maybe even more since we all used to eat more junk). But I still spend a lot of money on me. I find it boosts my self-esteem to indulge and higher self-esteem leads to better eating behaviors (at least for me).
