Most people find it difficult to start their day without a cup of strong coffee. The scent of a freshly brewed cup of coffee early in the morning is a necessity for most coffee lovers to kick start their day. But could this make you fat?
According to dietitian Geraldine Georgeou, one cup of coffee per day isn't bad, but if you preferred brew has hidden sugar or fat then it's a cause for concern. The worst offenders are Mochas or coffees that are flavoured with shots, said Georgeou.
"The problem with coffees that come with added caramel, vanilla or hazelnut flavoured syrups is these tend to be high in sugar," she said, according to Mail Online. "If these coffees are also made with full cream milk what you are ending up with is a full-fat product that comes loaded with sugar and before you know it your calorie intake has increased," she explained.
Indulge in these flavored brews once in a while, but do not make them you preferred brew, cautions Georgeou.
A Piccolo Latte and flat white are great options for coffee drinkers, said Georgeou.
