Typical cooler Sunday morning.  I wake up wanting a nice steaming cup of cappuccino.  Not a real cappuccino, but the “add the powder to hot water” type that you can get from a gas station.  And lucky me, I found a  mix in the grocery store that was SO good and I could have it at home to enjoy a cup whenever I wanted.  Which soon became a daily occurrence.

Enter in client who was also a lover of this cheap cappuccino.  Our mission - lowering her cholesterol.  After reviewing her excellent diet history, her 4 “from the powder” cappucino a day habit stuck out like a sore thumb.  She agreed to wean off these to see what difference it would make.   After 3 months of no capp, her cholesterol was down 40 points!!!!  We were thrilled. 

So was this enough for me to stop my once daily habit?  Not quite, but thought I would try watering it down some and now – no more in the house!  I’ve switched to green tea and have at least one daily.  Packing in those cancer and heart disease fighting anti-oxidants instead of the refined sugars and shelf stable fats.

But I must tell you it still calls my name…and I am trying not to listen.
