I can't do this.

Well, you can eat all of that and still lose weight.

Greek yogurt isn't very good for you, and butter can actually be really healthy

@Claudine black tea is good with some milk. So is chai tea.

I eat rivita instead of bread and skimmed milk :)

I drink tea and coffee every day but it's green tea no sugar, and black coffee no sugar. Creamer, sugar, and all that extra junk is what will fatten you up

For the cappuccino vs tea, is that black tea in the picture? I really like the kind of tea I can add milk to but I can't remember what it's called.

Great ideas..
