Cappuccino (1 Mug (8 Fl Oz))

Choose an unsweetened cappuccino and avoid added sugar, flavored syrups, honey, and sweet toppings.

Ask for a smaller size or use a single espresso with a modest amount of milk to reduce lactose exposure.

Choose unsweetened soy milk or another unsweetened lower-carbohydrate milk alternative if it suits you.

Have the cappuccino with a protein- and fiber-rich snack, such as a boiled egg, plain Greek yogurt, or a small handful of almonds.

Avoid drinking it on an empty stomach; have it after or alongside a balanced meal containing protein, non-starchy vegetables, and healthy fat.

Take a brief 10–15 minute walk after your cappuccino to help moderate the rise.
