I see 2-3 cups skim milk on the new "foods to enjoy" list. Just want to confirm that's right before I race off to Starbucks for my beloved latte. I thought the book did not allow for milk in phase 1 so I just want to make sure.
Recent medical studies have shown that consuming milk (skim and low fat) as well as fat free yogurt can help in losing weight. So Dr. A changed South Beach to allow the milk. Just make sure you are using 1% or less fat.
Get'n Serious, I love my lattes too! Just be aware of your caffeine intake--you want to stick with 2 servings (or less) per day. So you might want to make that a "half-caf" latte!
I usually have one grande latte a day and that's it for caffeine. I would guess one shot = one serving. After that I usually switch to water and herbal tea, and an occasional diet gingerale.
