How do you drink your coffee?
Replies

Splash of 2% milk0

With a 1 pack of diet hot cocoa--yummy (only 25 cals a pack):drinker:0

1/8 of a cup of 1% milk and 1 packet of sweet n low. I used to be a 2 cream 2 sugar girl, but now that I have a Keurig and we buy Folgers Black Silk k-cups i find i dont need all that because the coffee itself is delicious. Come to think of it, i bet i could drink it black if i needed to0

1 milk 1 splenda0
-
I've been drinking it black for years, love it, can't stand coffee with milk!!!!0
-
I take it black.
Haven't used cream or sugar in a long time.0 -
I prefer to grind my beans and then partake of the nectar of the gods in it's natural state...black.0

If you dont drink it black, you are best off using 1-2 tbs of heavy cream. this has the least impact on insulin levels and will actually help you lose fat. sounds counter intuitive, but its science! I have also personally seen results with just this change.0
-
I put a stick of cinnamon in it and let it soak for a few min. Then add a little skim milk. No more unhealthy sweeteners.0

The first thing I did was cut back to only 1 (12 oz) cup per day! (except on really crazy days!) I was drinking my coffee w/ 4 tsp sugar and 2 tsp powdered creamer - 80 cals/cup. I switched to using International Delight single servings (30 cals each) and was able to cut down to 1 tsp sugar - 45 total cals/cup until that first pack was gone (about 3 weeks). Now I'm having it w 2 tsp sugar and 1 tsp powdered creamer - 40 cals/cup. Even tho that's 1/2 of what I started with (well, more than that if you consider I used to have an average of 3 cups per day!), it doesn't seem like many calories saved, but those 40 cals are better worked in somewhere else in the day! Most days I don't enjoy it as much as I used to, but already I can't drink it as sweet as before. I've heard most people say that it takes gettting used to, but you get there.
I also saw a lot of ppl in a previous post say they sprinkle cinnamon in it and don't need the sweet taste then - but that did NOT work for me! LOL!

X-Large - 1x raw sugar + 2x 2% milk0

2 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream, a tablespoon of benefiber and a splash of sugar free torani hazelnut syrup. YUM and filling0

1) Get boiling water in cup
2) Add a splash of skimmed milk
3) Add 1 half cal sugar.
4) Vaguely wave a coffee bean it it's direction.
5) Stir
6) Profit
Sissy!!! That's flavored water, not coffee. And skimmed milk is nasty in coffee. I need creamy and sweet. Usually 2 Tablespoons of flavored creamer. Most of the time in a glass, iced, with a straw. You cant forget the straw!!!0 -
With 1-2 packets of splenda depending on how much coffe I am drinking and a Tbs of international delights skinny caramel macchiato creamer.
Or
1 cup of cold coffee (black)
1 cup of unsweetened almond milk
2-3 Tbsp of boost high protein chocolate powder mix
2 packets of splenda
Make for a good Mocha protein shake that fills me up AND gets me going!0 -
I drink mine black most of the time. If drinking flavored coffee I will add splenda. Been doing that since September. For a treat I will have a starbucks skinny latte or add a small amount of fat free half and half or milk to my coffee. Took me a week to get used to drinking black coffee and now I like it.0
-
Sorry.......black coffee is not worth the time to drink.....its like sticking your tongue under a road paver........lol! Half and half and splenda all the way baby:bigsmile:
I blame Folgers, Maxwell House, Dunkin Donuts, and Bad Diner Coffee for conclusions like this.
I even drink bad coffee black. Why clutter up my caffeine with calories and extra effort? pffft.0 -
light and sweet....fat free creamer and sweetener (unless I happen to have any Bailey's creamer....then all bets are off). But I only have one cup most days now, rather than the whole pot.0
-
I drink it with coffeemate and sugar. I tried to use sweeteners but it's not the same. I just log it in my food diary because I'm not giving it up!0
-
I admit...I drink coffee but I hate the taste of it! S0...I use a travel mug that fits 2 cups of coffee in it. I add 1/8 cup of vanilla almond milk and a packet (or 2 if I'm feeling really in need of sweet lol) of Splenda. The whole mug is 14 calories....and I enjoy it!0
-
I brew my coffee with cinnamon. Gives it some flavor kick while still clocking in at practically zero calories.0
-
I don't drink coffee0
-
I drink it with flavored creamer! I refuse to give it up! To me the calories are worth it!
Me too!!! I don't use sugar but I love the Italian Sweet Creme or Creme Brulee..its my one thing that just am not ready to give up!0 -
I drink mine with unsweetened vanilla almond milk and Truvia. Good luck on your weight loss!0
-
Ice cold, when I do, I treat myself put the machine on, nice shot of coffee, lot's of ice and skimmed milk all blended up, yummy.0
-
Try a fat free creamer and a sugar substitute. Like Splenda.0
-
1 tbsp of a sugar free coffee creamer - right now, Hazelnut because it was the only sugar free at the store. I found that I was drinking most of my sugar calories in the morning when I was using fat free, so I decided to switch to sugar free.0
-
Vanilla Carmel Sugarfree creamer when i have money to buy it, when i don't i use coffeemate and splenda0
-
Black and often!0
-
bout 3 half/half and mound of sugar......i tried black coffee..i couldnt get used to it...0
-
At a cafe - iced caramel latte, nonfat milk.
At home - brew with an aeropress, so it's really strong. About half and half coffee + 1% milk, and about 1-2 T syrup (caramel or vanilla).0
