Drop 11 lbs this week

Just in time! Women are raving about this holiday coffee drink that's proven to instantly triple metabolism

If the thought of a hot peppermint mocha latte or an iced snickerdoodle macchiato makes your mouth water, we've got great news for your taste buds and your waistline: Millions of 'proffee' lovers are using flavored protein shakes, zero-sugar syrups and ordinary java to make amped-up versions of our favorite seasonal beverages - drinks that are equal parts fun, energizing and slimming. Sip one in place of your usual breakfast or lunch, and you flood your body with nutrients "that are vital to brain function, overall health and faster fat loss," says Columbia-trained nutrition expert and A-List Diet author Fred Pescatore, MD. Appetite and cravings shrink too! The effect is so powerful, women report that Christmas proffee is helping them drop 1 or even 2 pounds a day during this hectic, high-calorie time of year.

For those who don’t know, “proffee” is simply protein powder or a ready-made protein shake blended with hot or iced coffee. Experts have long recommended the combo “because most of us already drink coffee, so you’re just tweaking an existing habit. It’s an easy way to consistently increase protein intake, which can improve weight loss and overall health,” notes Dr. Pescatore, who recommends low-sugar ingredients like WheyLogic protein powders (NulogicNutritionals.com).

Of course, social media gets the credit for coining the term proffee and inventing a zillion fun variations—including ones with festive extras like nutmeg, eggnog Skinny Syrup, even sugar-free Reddi-Wip. But why did proffee go mega-viral? Well, that’s because it gets amazing results…
