    I drink anywhere from 2-3 cups a day (sometimes 4-6 eek!) I also use sugar-free creamer (Coffeemate Vanilla) but I use very little creamer per cup and I measure it and log it all.

    Keep drinking your coffee if you enjoy it.

    I use and love the aeropress. I usually have a double espresso every morning, but I add water to make it americano and have a fair bit of whole milk. Then, to really jazz it up, I add cinnamon, cumin, and turmeric!!

    It's just soooooo wonderful to start the morning that way :)

    Keep drinking the coffee, I tried to quit and it was not pretty! I did however stop using creamer and use unsweetened almond milk or non fat dairy milk and stevia and I enjoy it just as much. The creamer added calories and other stuff I really didn't want anymore so the switch has been great for me!

    I used to drink a TON of coffee with a TON of creamer. I have cut myself down to 1 cup/day and I still use the full fat/full sugar creamer, but I measure out 1 Tbsp. It's working for me :smiley:

    I say keep the coffee, but try to go black. I went cold turkey black about a year and a half ago and love it now. I didn't want the calories from my creamer taking up something else I could have had! lol

    I like my coffee creamy and not incredibly hot. So a tbsp or 2 of anything doesn't cut it for me. I use 1/4-1/2 cup (depending on the size of my mug) of unsweetened Vanilla almond milk and splenda.

    Try using a protein powder as a substitute. Makes it sweet and creamy.

    That sounds awesome. Just ANY protein powder??? Which one do you use???

    Yes, I'm gonna drink coffee every few hours of the day for those 200 extra calories if I manage to get the effects for 24 hours. I don't need sleep.

    I do not even understand why this is a question .. because coffee

    I had one question about dehydration, which is the primary reason my Ideal Protein coach told me to stay off coffee while I was in what is called Phase 1.
    213Tim above cited lots of articles, which make sense I think, if you are drinking 3 gallons of cheap coffee every day.
    Also, I just read an article about the Bullet Proof coffee guy where he says that most coffee has MOLD in it. He only uses this special *low* mold coffee been, which is why *his* coffee costs about $20 per bag. Or maybe that's just a marketing trick to make you pay MORE???
    But from what everyone seems to say, and the great tip about using a protein powder instead of my regular low-cal, low-carb creamer, I am definitely sticking to coffee. ;-)

    Coffee when you diet. Coffee when you don't diet. Coffee all the time. It's all good. I started drinking it black because I need my cals for food, but every now and then I load it down with sugar and half & half and give up something else to make it fit.
