Many people say they follow their diet closely all day but end up overdoing it with their late night snacks.
If you ever find yourself fighting off the munchies shortly after dinner, try quelling the urge to snack by making yourself a decaffeinated tea or coffee. Sipping on a hot tea or coffee is a good alternative to unnecessary snacking for a couple of reasons.
- Hot tea or coffee takes a while to consume.
We know tearing into a bag of potato chips takes no time at all. A lot of diet damage can happen in a small amount of time. - These drinks have zero to minimal calories.
Just make sure you are careful about the other ingredients you add. Enjoy your drink plain or stick to zero calorie sweeteners and use a small amount of fat-free creamer to help minimize the calories in your hot beverage.
Not crazy about hot drinks? Make your drink an iced tea or coffee. It will still feel like a treat!
