i did the same. i just do coffee with heavy cream now. sometimes i drink black now too. still getting used to it!
if i feel like something a bit sweeter like a treat, i add cinnamon or vanilla essence and it tricks my tastebuds into thinking its sweet1 -
I add cinnamon and sucralose, but am working on eliminating all additives and just drink it black. It will probably be another month or 2 before I get there.
I found that I have to add cream if it is not good coffee, but since I buy quality coffee fresh from the roaster, it tastes good without having to add cream.1 -
Since I'm dairy free I just buy NutPods and use it in my coffee. It's almond and coconut milk and some unsweetened flavoring. I love their hazelnut. It's especially good with Keto Chocolate Collagen
As with everything, it takes awhile for your taste buds to adjust - give it time and soon you'll be enjoying it again!2 -
I have a "bottomless pot" of decaf going all day long. Most of the time it is my breakfast calories with half and half and sometimes stevia. Sometimes it is also my lunch. Depends on the day. If there is any left over after dinner, I might have heat up a cup for dessert. Iced in the summer time.2

I consider myself lucky to have never felt the need for sweetener in coffee. But I do like creamy coffee so my go to brew for a while now is about half the milk I used to have replaced by thickened cream. I allow myself no more than 3 per day and accept that they are one of my main sources of carb. Just today I bought the ingredients to try a BPC, am interested to check that out.0

The really great thing about having some coconut oil on hand is that when you don't have your regular creamer around...there is always coconut oil to make BPC. That's about the only time I have BPC anymore..when I was too busy, tired, forgetful to get to the store. It serves me quite well in that case.
On a side note, how is the off the grid cabin coming along? I think that was you @Fyreside who was building one. Yes?0 -

It's going great thanks. Not as much vertical progress as I would like, but the site prep is all but done and my pile of locally sourced and recycled lumber is on target. I've diverted funds and time over the last couple of months into renovating a light truck that will be invaluable for moving the last heavy lumber to the site.

Nutpods are great.
If its available in your area try Califia Farms (https://www.califiafarms.com/) Better Half. Their unsweetened versions are tasty and 0 carb if I remember correctly and I want to say the other versions don't have a really high carb count. Their unsweetened toasted coconut almond milk is one of the few that tastes good all on its own.0 -
