“	Originally Posted By: john100 As for diet/nutrition tips. Avoid machine coffee like the plague. Avoid the hot chocolate twice as much. Don't put 'milk' in your vending machine coffee. I used to know a guy who lost half a stone by doing nothing more than giving up on vending machine coffee.	”

That is completely true -- when I found out what was in "machine coffee" (those instant cappuccino machines found at the 7-11, for example) I stopped drinking it and went back to brewed coffee. One of the ingredients is partially hydrogenated oil, which is really, really bad for you.

I quit the "instant" stuff about the time I started South Beach, so I can't say whether I lost weight from quitting it or not.

Right now I'm trying to transition completely from coffee to tea. It's ... not going so well...
