Tea drinkers tend to be slimmer than coffee drinkers.
Those weird people who don't drink any hot drinks are slimmest of all.
I drink loads of strong coffee with oat milk.
I am fat.

I drink pints of tea every day - fat as a house

Toobusytowee · 26/01/2023 18:08

I drink coffee and my BMI is right where it should be.

XenoBitch · 26/01/2023 18:08

I drink tea. No sugar, and a splash of milk. Am fat.
A friend drinks just hot water. Is also fat.

I rarely drink a hot drink and I'm overweight. It's the ones who drink just hot water that are the skinnies imo

WillsandKatesDivorcePartyDJ · 26/01/2023 18:09

@Whatsthisthing so do we think it's the quantity? I'm wondering if the persistent drinking equals persistent hunger. I'm always hungry. I don't have sugar or sweeteners though.

I drink water, no tea or coffee, and I’m overweight

I am slim, I own a coffeeshop so mainline coffee. My co worker is fatter than me, she drinks some coffee but mostly green tea. Another colleague carries some extra weight, drinks no hot drinks. Another, smallest of us all only drinks coffee and OJ.

Disproven 😁

I'm obese and I don't like any hot drinks. Wish tea was the solution to my chocolate addiction though!

WillsandKatesDivorcePartyDJ · 26/01/2023 18:10

So it's looking unlikely so far

I'm slim and don't drink any hot drinks

NumberTheory · 26/01/2023 18:11

Tea and coffee drinkers are both slimmer. You’re just a freak, OP, Wink

@MuggleMe do you drink anything in place of a hot drink? Or just water

Those weird people who don't drink any hot drinks are slimmest of all.

I am one of those “weird” people. Don’t drink any hot drinks. Don’t like the taste.

I find it more weird that people are shocked and offended that I prefer water and juice to tea and coffees.

I’m 5’9” and a size 10/12. I’ll let you be the judge OP, if you think a weirdo like me is slim.

Nimbostratus100 · 26/01/2023 18:12

I drink everything. I am fat

WillsandKatesDivorcePartyDJ · 26/01/2023 18:13

@FlissyPaps it was meant with love! I just don't understand how people function, especially those with busy jobs and/or kids. How do you break up the monotony?

I drink both but don't have milk or sugar with either. Think my BMI is 19ish.

Beachhutnut · 26/01/2023 18:14

I drink coffee with oatmilk. BMI average.

WillsandKatesDivorcePartyDJ · 26/01/2023 18:14

@FlissyPaps if it makes you feel better I have never met someone who doesn't drink tea or coffee (and nothing insane in its place like hot chocolate or full day coke) and isn't slim.

OP posts:
Belladonna208 · 26/01/2023 18:14

I drink tea mostly. I'm fat. Doesn't help that I'm post menopausal and very short though.

WillsandKatesDivorcePartyDJ · 26/01/2023 18:15

@Beachhutnut yes I was slimmer when I drank my coffee black. Even oat milk has calories.

I drink tea by the gallon but only with milk, no sugar. I'm fat 😥

Emmamoo89 · 26/01/2023 18:16

Drink tea and skinny

LaurieFairyCake · 26/01/2023 18:16

Now slim, used to be overweight
