I love my coffee with a lot of Creamer - the sweeter the better and I know that's part of my problem - I always drink way too much International Delight Creamer -- so What's something like this but healthy ? and Can help with Weight Loss ?

@lizabellarose1234 My morning coffee consists of 2 tbsp of Elmhurst vanilla or unsweetened oat milk creamer, 1 fl oz of unsweetened almond milk, and 1 tsp unfiltered local honey. This blend works for me and just recently I switched my coffee to Lifeboost k-cups, a low acid variety that's free of a lot of harmful stuff.

Using less sugar and making better choices can help with weight loss. I don't drink more than two cups of coffee in the morning, sometimes less or just a green tea with honey. I'm in weight maintenance right now but this is how I prepared my coffee when I was losing weight as well.

I drink my morning coffee black - got used to this years ago when finding creamer or sweetener working in a hospital at night was nearly impossible - and anyway - didn't want to dilute the caffeine! But for late AM snack or decaf after dinner - the zero calorie coffeemate is great. I also have 0 calorie syrups or I use monk fruit sweetener.
ut here's the thing - if there is something you just really want to have and can't find a substitute, just work it in to your daily plan. If you don't you will "relapse", then feel like you failed (from my past experience). I would attend Krispy Kreme Anonymous every day if it was available. But I blew one pretty successful weight loss plan some years ago through continuous self denial and bought a half dozen, ate them on the way home, and - boom - "failure" so I quit. Don't be me. 😉
BTW - Krispy Kreme Glazed Donuts are ONLY 190 CALORIES each. Less than two 100 cal packs of oreos.
