    Coffee
    Is it true that coffee is fatteing? A friend of mine says that coffee is not fatteing itself but it slows down metabolism and therefore makes u fat. She reckons tea is the opposite (ie. Speeds up metabolism).
    My other question is this: I don't like the taste of plain milk so I usually put some coffee or cocoa in my milk. Does the milk still has the same quality. Someone told me that the things we add to milk kill all the "goodies" milk has.

    Wow you have some strange friends?

    There are only about 5 calories in a 6-ounce cup of black coffee.

    That same cup of coffee contains zero carbohydrates, no fat and zero sugars.

    In other words, coffee is a wonderful beverage when it comes to watching your weight.

    BUT...

    That coffee can become a HUGE source of calories when you start adding cream, sugar, syrups and sprinkles.

    Oh and as for the milk theory, you can't ake nutrients out of milk by adding coffee or chocolate but rememebr... too much milk is fattening unless you drink yucky trim milk which doesn't have the nutrients as its mostly water.
