There are worse things. The daily walk is excellent. The latte and chocolate isn't ideal, but if that what it takes for him to do the walk.

If he could have a smaller latte or a smaller amount of chocolate that would be better of course.

Is it milk chocolate or a high % cocoa chocolate? My BG can't tolerate ANY carbs in the morning.

Doesn't sound too bad but go for 85% Dark Chocolate as it has much lower carbs than milk

There are a few better options to start the day but there are many more worse ones !

I have a mocha first thing in the morning, along with my omelette. I use 100% cocoa powder (usually Green and Blacks), a teaspoon of ground coffee beans, a tablespoon of cream, and sweeten it with stevia.

That sounds so nice! How much cocoa powder do you put in?

I put one teaspoon in, which does the trick nicely.
