Oops! Sugar intake question
Since it is made with milk, it is not sugar free because milk contains sugar, in the form of lactose.

Skinny means that they use sugar-free syrups and fat-free milk. But the milk is not sugar-free. So, that is where the sugar comes from. Some people who dump don't dump on natural sugars (fruits, milk, etc.) Some do. I dump on white sugar and go into carb coma when I eat a carb-laden meal, but I don't dump on fruits or milk.
I guess time will tell for you.

Are you sure you looked at the right one? I am looking at the regular caramel machiatto right now and it has 32g of sugar.
The website acutally doesn't give the breakdown for that specific flavor in a skinny. It just has the "Flavored skinny latte" option which is supposed to represent the SF syrups and NF milk and the Venti of that is only 21 grams.
So unless they slipped you the syrup with the sugar you probably didn't get over 17-19grams. (Unless you did have the Venti) And that does not mean you are not a dumper. I can handle up to 28gram of sugar in some things now.
For me it depends on the food or the form. Liquids with sugar will kick me right away. I can eat a cookie but half a banana will make me ill.
