Želiš smanjiti unos kalorija, a da ni ne osjetiš? Evo što se krije u tvojoj omiljenoj šalici kave

“Kava” nikad nije samo kava. Barem ne u Hrvata. Kod nas je “kava” uglavnom kava s mlijekom. Često dolazi i s popratnim keksićem ili bademom omotanim u čokoladu.

I ne, to nije nikakav problem – sve dok znate što konzumirate i koliko konzumirate, ali nekad se naše neznanje i poricanje zna oteti kontroli.

Graeme Tomlinson, poznat kao Fitness Chef, na svom Instagram profilu informira javnost o ovakvim i sličnim zamkama pa će biti dovoljno da samo pogledate usporedbu obične kave (u ovom slučaju Americano – što je samo jako dugački espresso) i ostalih oblika s mlijekom.

The point of this post is not to strike fear into those who love to slurp regular caramel macchiatos. Instead the point is to inform with use of perspective. – – Though we refer to all of our coffee themed drinks as ‘coffee’, it is clear that one person’s preference compared to another’s may represent a monumentally different nutritional acquisition, especially over time. – – Simply put, coffee in its purest form contains 0 calories, a caloric calculation over time is therefore redundantly pointless. But should consistent selection of calorie inclusive coffee related beverages be consumed multiple times per day in bids to ‘wake up’, ‘perk up’ and enjoy a palatable drink, the caloric calculation may be significantly higher. And therefore, over time, an important dietary consideration. – – There is nothing wrong with consuming cappuccinos, lattes or caramel macchiatos. But if one is persistently bemoaning lack of progress regarding composition, reduction of such beverages offer a very easy opportunity to support a caloric deficit without upheaval of habitual eating habits. – – Furthermore, selection of alternative coffee inclusive drinks at lower (or no) caloric cost can ensure that one still ‘gets their fill’ of daily coffee whilst also getting more progress in their compositional goal. – – With greater the upheaval of one’s diet comes reduced chances of long term adherence. But with smaller upheaval comes greater chance of long term adherence. For fat loss, long term adherence is the catalyst in building meaningful, educated eating patterns that support incremental change over time. – – Whether it’s coffee, a biscuit or any given food, seemingly insignificant alternations to minuscule parts of overall diet are likely to be the tweaks that finally deliver significant results. But more importantly, make the results last forever. ? – – #coffee #coffeelover #cappuccino #fatloss #diettips #calories #caloriedeficit #weightloss #coffeebreak #thefitnesschef #latte #flexiblediet #macchiato #caloriecounting

Ako želite srezati kalorije, počnite od onoga što pijete, to je odličan prvi korak. Makar to i značilo smanjivanje količine mlijeka u kavi umjesto potpunog prelaska na crnu kavu.
