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'm on the larger side of 'healthy' (whatever that means) and I drink tea, coffee, hot chocolate, squash, water, mojitos and everything in between 🤣

LaLuz7 · 26/01/2023 19:33

21.5 BMI, so right in the middle of healthy.

One coffee a day, with lots of milk and half a teaspoon of sugar

Tea sometimes

AdoraBell · 26/01/2023 19:34

I drink coffee mostly but without milk or sugar. I very occasionally have either a flat white or cappuccino when I’m out. I have 2 cups of tea per day with 1 sugar, no milk.

I stopped having a pastry or cake when out and biscuits at home with my coffee 2 weeks ago because I need to lose weight. It’s certain that what I was eating was making my over weight, as opposed to my black coffee.

I don't touch hot drinks, I'm fat

Cocobutt · 26/01/2023 19:37

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

Takeaway coffees like Starbucks and Costa also have hundreds of calories in.

So although I’d say coffee drinkers have always been slimmer than tea drinkers, I think it could change if lots of people buy takeaway coffees.

Moanycowbag · 26/01/2023 19:39

I am short and squat and resemble a weeble but I am a tea drinker, earl grey black no sugar in a massive mug many times a day, I was skinny when I drank coffee with milk sugar and an accompanying cigarette.

Drinks loads of black coffee (about 6) and a couple of cups of tea every day, getting larger very quickly at the moment (might be all the biscuits though).
