Lose the fat-free and low-fat creamers and use full-fat cream in your coffee instead.
Low-fat and fat-free dairy products actually increase weight gain by spiking insulin levels. Dairy fat contains CLA-conjugated linoleic acid, which has been linked to a decrease in stored body fat. Instead use 2 tablespoons of full-fat cream in your coffee. Tim Ferris, author of The 4-Hour Body, has seen women lose 2-4 lbs a week by making this one change. Because it helps to stabilize your blood sugar rather than spike it, it also helps prevent a drop in energy levels in the afternoon. Choose organic dairy to avoid excess hormone and antibiotic exposure.
