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.

Tea with almond milk (unsweetened) top end of average weight.

Wasteofmoneyornot · 26/01/2023 18:33

@WillsandKatesDivorcePartyDJ I find plain water or no sugar squash better for that
If I'm doing well diet wise I'll drink loads of water and do feel so much better for it
Skin improves too

I drink black coffee and I am thin.

OnlyFannys · 26/01/2023 18:34

Average weight and drink buckets of coffee (I like tea as well but coffee gives me life energy). I have mine black with no sugar so it fills me up but does add calories

I drink several cups of tea (skimmed milk) and coffee (semi skimmed) a day.

I am massively obese and my patience is paper fucking thin.

WashAsDelicates · 26/01/2023 18:51

Can't bear coffee. Drink some tea. Can often go several days without drinking a hot drink.

I am obese.

purplecorkheart · 26/01/2023 18:52

I have friends who are tea or coffee or both drinkers who range from underweight to morbidly overweight. I don't think the tea or coffee has much impact tbh.

Another colleague is very slim and drinks neither.
Friend is obese and drinks both.
Mil is very slim and drinks both.

JoyPeaceHealthz · 26/01/2023 19:01

I've drunk both for decades, coffee in the morning and tea throughout the day. I'm a bit overweight now. never was until recently though. This proves nothing I suspect.

Cocobutt · 26/01/2023 19:17

Tea drinkers tend to be slimmer than coffee drinkers.

I think it’s the complete opposite.

Coffee contains much more caffeine which gives you more energy and adrenaline which burns fat, increases your metabolism and acts as a laxative.

So it makes sense that coffee drinkers tend to be slimmer.

Hubblebubble · 26/01/2023 19:19

Overweight coffee drinker! I am making more effort to drink water and have started limiting myself to 3 cups a day.

Snazzysausage · 26/01/2023 19:22

Tea only, lots each day. No sugar and always skimmed milk.
I'm a chunk.

Chesneyhawkes1 · 26/01/2023 19:23

I never drink tea. Only coffee. 4-6 cups a day. I'm a size 6/8

LighthouseCat · 26/01/2023 19:23

Loads of tea, always full fat milk though only a splash. BMI 20ish

5128gap · 26/01/2023 19:25

Drink 8 cups of strong black sugarless coffee every day. Hate tea. Other drinks are 4 pints of water/squash per day. 5' 4" 8 stone 10.

lmnabc · 26/01/2023 19:26

Gallons of black coffee and slim

pointythings · 26/01/2023 19:27

I drink coffee and herbal teas. No milk, no sugar. Am fat.

SwedishEdith · 26/01/2023 19:27

There's coffee drinkers and coffee drinkers though. Black with no sugar v big buckets of essentially liquidised puddings.

IncompleteSenten · 26/01/2023 19:28

I drink coffee and I make jabba the Hutt look like twiggy.

My mum drinks even more coffee than I do and she's as far through as a bus ticket.

MargaretThursday · 26/01/2023 19:30

I drink cola. Full fat.

SophiaLarsen · 26/01/2023 19:30

I mainly drink tea. One coffee a day. Tea is black. Coffee is with lactofree milk and 1 sugar. Normal BMI. My friend does not have any hot drinks and is teeny tiny.

Thebestwaytoscareatory · 26/01/2023 19:31

I hate hot drinks of all kinds and I'm worryingly closer to a beach ball than a rake.
