Coffee (1 Mug (8 Fl Oz)), Half and Half Cream (1 Tbsp) and Green Tea (1 Mug (8 Fl Oz))

Have coffee or green tea with a protein- and fiber-containing meal or snack, such as plain Greek yogurt with chia seeds, rather than on an empty stomach.

Use a smaller amount of half-and-half or switch to unsweetened milk alternatives with no added sugar; check labels for added sugars and flavored creamers.

Avoid adding sugar, syrups, honey, sweetened powders, or sweetened condensed milk to coffee or tea.

Choose unsweetened green tea and coffee, and sip slowly instead of drinking a large serving quickly.

Pair the drink with a small handful of nuts or seeds, such as almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, or chia, to slow absorption and improve fullness.

Take a 10–15 minute easy walk after the drink or after the meal you had with it, if medically appropriate.
