How do you drink your coffee?

Options
And how many cups a day do you have? I am struggling with this. I like my coffee with 2 splenda & powdered creamer (40 calories for the cup of coffee). I think it's fine to have a cup in the morning like this (I did before when I lost 50 pounds and it never slowed my weight loss). However, I am wanting like 2 or 3 cups a day. :indifferent: I just can't drink my coffee black.

It really kills my sweet tooth to have it and it's only 40 calories. Am I going to hell for having more than one cup? :sad: :sad: :sad:

Okay so, how do you drink your coffee and how many cups do you have a day?

    I like mine black but my taste for that didn't come over night. I used to put creamer in it and then I got lazy to add the creamer so I would drink it black. After drinking so many cups this way I now love it black and would never go back.

    Coffee, 1 a day first thing in the morning, skimmed milk and 2 sweeteners.

    Tea? about 10-12 cups a day, with skimmed milk and sweeteners. It's how i get my daily fluid intake.

    I have the same problem as you. I am not the happiest person without my coffee (: haha.
    I have cut back from 4...i repeat 4 sugars and a ton of creamer. to just 2 sugars and enough creamer so i can taste it. I tried to go one step further and do 1 or 1 and 1/2 sugars...I can't so I am going to get splenda with fiber (saw a commercial yesterday) and try to cut down how many cups i have. I drink far too much coffee. usually 4 cups a day if im working. :/

    At home, I add sugar-free Torani syrups -- vanilla, English toffee, etc., but at work, I drink it black. LOVE it at home, drink it at work.:wink: No added calories either place.

    I used to drink my coffee with light cream and sugar and couldn't stand black coffee but about 4 1/2 years ago I decided to try drinking it black with no sugar or sweetener...........and believe it or not - now I can't drink it any way but black :ohwell:
    I tried recently to drink it with cream and/or sweetner in it and couldn't :noway:

    I started drinking mine black about a year ago just because I didn't want to drink my calories and at first I was just making do and wishing I could have milk in it again but now I like it black. If I drink it with milk now it just tastes odd.

    I think you've just gotta decide what will work best for you. Like if you really can't stand it any other way then you need to decide if its worth the calories or not. (:

    1 or none each day, keep some flavored fat free creamers on hand, usually I end up with closer to 70 or 80 cal though, so I stick to one cup

    I am a habitual coffee drinker as well. I can kill two pots a day, caffeinated even, and it doesn't affect me. I used to have it with international delights french vanilla creamer (yum!), but with my diet I use liquid stevia vanilla creme. It took me a day to get used to it, I just had to cut back on how many grounds I used because I loathe black coffee, yet I love strong coffee. I found my balance and I love it. I also drink natural mint tea to help curb my sweet tooth, I also add a little liquid stevia(plain) to that as well. I hope you find something that works! Best of luck. :smile:

    I gave up coffee b/c I like to drown my coffee with creamer. It was too many calories and fat for one cup of coffee. I miss drinking it but I don't miss the cost of buying the creamer.
