With lots of heavy cream.

OK, so presumably the only thing starbucks can be giving you is caffeine. Why is it 'no starbucks' rather than 'no caffeine'?

I drink tea and coffee in buckets and always have. It doesn't seem to have the same effects on me as it does on most people. But it's a powerful psychoactive drug in most people. It could be an appetite disruptor.

But then, the English have been drinking tea and coffee for a long time, so it runs into the 'why no obesity before 1970?' problem.

I don't think it's the caffeine, I think it's the extra 400ml of heavy cream I'd consume on average 1.3x per day :) Pushing 4,000-4,500kcal... if this theory is true, it's a miracle I didn't GAIN weight.

Wow really? You don't get your cement-truck satiety from coffee with (stunning) amounts of cream in it? And you didn't notice?

That's really freaky if true! And a big clue...

Yea, could be. Then again, I'd get the coffee in the morning. So it'd be the first cream of the day, whereas I typically get the cement-truck satiety from whipped cream for dinner.

But it seems reasonable that drinking it is different somehow.
