Coffee, coffee creamer and MORE COFFEE

I used to drink Iced caramel latte a day which is 460 calories...then I noticed I keep going over my sugar intake and then starting to drink plain black coffee with sugar free French vanilla creamer which is 80 calories...I mean of course I still drink my Iced latte but only Fridays0

There are some coffees that I like without cream and sugar....hazelnut coffee can be one of those but I usually add a tiny bit of sweetener even to those flavored ones. I think if you can't have artificial sweeteners, it will just take time to adjust. A little bit of flavored creamer shouldn't derail your weight loss goals though. I just use it in moderation and measure it rather than just pouring it in0

What is coffee creamer?
Serious question.
I read about it often on these forums but is not something we have in Australia. Not that I have come across anyway.
OP, I think it is possible to re train your taste buds by gradually reducing the amount of sugar/sweetener you have.
I have coffee with small amount of low fat milk, no sugar - and is only 20 calories.0 -
Coffee creamer is pre-mixed cream with different flavors. It's very high in sugar and tastes delicious.
However, I have cut this habit out. It was stifling my weight loss. I switched to sugar free and mostly just getting coffee at work now and adding the non-dairy powder "creamer" and two packets of stevia.
The coffee is flavored at work... and I really enjoy my cup. The stevia is not as bad as sweet and low (flavor).
I'm really enjoying finally seeing the scale move and of course I will NOT go back to the high sugar creamer again.0 -

For the australians reference this is the stuff she meant (I'm actually surprised you don't have something of this ilk there)

I actually do just that. I haven't used real sugar in coffee in a loooong time. I just buy whatever flavored creamer I want and add two tbsp to a cup of coffee. The one I've been using for awhile is Coffemate's Sweet Italian Creme creamer, it's like 70 calories for two tbsp. That might be a lot for some people, but I feel it's worth it. It's less calories than if I put milk and sugar in it. It's plenty sweet and would be cloying if I added sugar to it.
I know the non-dairy creamers are super unhealthy, but oh well. It's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.0 -
personally i dont really like flavoured coffee. i do find that milk in my coffee lets me drink it faster ( not as hot) and makes it sweet enough for me to drink. i would just try and use less and less sugar until you find you like it without it. the other option is flavoured tea-- im clearly addicted to coffee. If i dont have it in the morning I get a huge headache, but what i usually try to do is have a cup of coffee or two in the morning and then switch to tea in the afternoon. i like the taste of different flavours of tea and then i dont need sugar or milk.0

I like the idea; will try with Cappuccino flavored protein
I had no idea this existed. I must find it !!
Like others have mentioned I switched to one cup almond milk, one scoop protein powder, and one cup coffee (I don't measure that - just go by taste) - drink as iced coffee. The protein powder is sweet. I've tried both vanilla and chocolate. I'm gonna try it with espresso for a hot coffee one of these days. For now I use a cold brew - which makes kind of a concentrated coffee so one cup gets you farther and I only need one (which is big with one cup of coffee and one cup of milk). The cold brew is then refrigerated so the drink is nice and cold when I make it too. Some say that cold brewing results in coffee that isn't as bitter.
If I eat eggs I don't always use the protein powder and since I just have the regular almond milk I add some sugar to make it a little sweeter. I imagine the vanilla almond milk is sweet but I've never tried it.0
