Imagine you're perusing your favorite food blogs, and you come across a headline that reads "How to order at Starbucks and not put on weight". If your first thought was anything like "Oh wow, finally, a map to not getting fat at Starbucks!", then you, like me, would be disappointed to read the actual article.I see now that I was overly optimistic. Of course it's getting to be common knowledge how many calories are in most of the coffee chains' creations, and anyone can figure out that you need to order low fat items to maintain a healthy weight. I was simply, momentarily, envisioning a magic formula. Silly, I know.
Anyway, the article by Mark Strausman, in the Huffington Post, is an interesting one, full of reminiscences and observations, but no magic bullet. The real advice offered is to order low fat items and to order small sizes. Sounds like something to keep in mind as you're ordering your morning caffeine.
