If you are a fan of sugar-laden lattes, creamy Mochaccinos and the like, eliminating such beverages from your diet could help you eliminate a considerable number of calories, as well. Not to mention you would also be saving some money in the process.

According to a study conducted by Duke University, people who consumed caffeine in coffee, tea, or soft drinks on a daily basis, had 10 percent higher sugar levels and were at a higher risk of suffering from cardiovascular diseases and obesity.
