    I also only have one cup a day which I bring to work with me and it helps me have something to be excited about lol... I guess its the little things in life that make me happy : ) I use regular creamer and flavored coffee and regular sugar. So I guess its my splurge, but it makes me too happy to give up ha ha

    I drink my coffee black. I usually get a large (2 cups) with extra espresso shots added. Then I drink work coffee which is disgusting... but also black.

    Keep it the same. Why mess with a good thing. I refuse to change my coffee creamer. Like you I typically only have one cup in the morning. As long as you can meet your daily calorie goal I wouldn't worry about it.

    Black means all coffee flavor and no guilt. It takes a bit to get used to at first, but then it never contributes to the fat or sugar intake. You would be surprised that you might grow to like it. I did that more than a year ago to make a small change to my diet and I have never regretted it. I love my coffee black!

    Torani (found in the coffee isle) comes in sugar free, various flavors: chocolate, French vanilla, raspberry, caramel, hazelnut to name a few~

    I love Torani sugar free vanilla syrup! It makes everything taste good with 0 calories. :)

    I agree that if you only have one cup per day then have it any way you want it. However, I kind of forced myself to drink mine black for a week just to see if I could adjust, and now I actually enjoy it more without the fat and sugar. Just a thought:)

    I myself love the hazelnut, but to help I bought the small creamers and added less of the sweet stuff to my coffee. still creamy and sweet but less caleries.I will not go without my good coffee the way i like. All diet plans have always lost keeping it the same.

    you only have one cup per day, enjoy it! Isn't that only about 35 calories? I know you are looking for a substitute but keep thinking lifestyle change and moderation. One cup a day isn't going to kill your goals and if it makes you feel less deprived it might even help keep you motivated.


    I completely agree! Coffee starts my day! Enjoy it, just track it!

    This... I still use my french vanilla creamer. One cup a day hasnt hurt me and I have given up soda and alot of sweets and fatty food so I figured that I can treat myself with something that I really enjoy in the morning.

    Im not giving up my coffe. I have my coffe first thing in the morning and drink it how iI like. I did switch to fat free cream. Unless you are a diabetic and have to limit your sugar, that might be a diffrent story. To me this is a lifestyle change. My life includes coffe. There is actually a group on here for coffe lovers. The bottom line is to do what works for you.


    Love it!

    I love French Vanilla Coffeemate....I put it in my coffee everyday. i factor it into my daily caloric intake. I love my coffee and plan on still being able to enjoy it the way I like it. To me 70 calories is worth it. The rest of the day I'm all water. I'm trying to make a life style change...drinking something i will hate doesn't have to be a part of it.
