Coffee?

Yes, I still drink it! I also use the sugar free creamer and I found that it's sweeter to me than regular creamer so I end up not using as much sugar/sugar substitute. I don't know that I could make it through the work day without it!0

I still drink my coffee, though I usually keep myself to 1 cup (a rather large one:) ). But I have also found that drinking coffee tends to keep me from drinking water, and with the caffeine, can leave me dehydrated. So i make sure I have at least 16 oz of water in the morning before my coffee, and then plenty throughout the day as well.0

If you buy good coffee and grind it yourself you may actually find you don't need cream or sugar. I've grown to love local coffee, which I grind, and then use filtered water in a french press (SUPER easy and I can do it at work). No cream, no sugar. No additional calories. We get hooked on all the junk we put in our coffee when the emphasis should be on the coffee itself.
Splenda / Equal / Sweet 'n Low is processed and contains chemicals. Forego it. And creamer, even fat-free creamer -- look at the ingredients. So much fake stuff. If you want something creamy, go with milk, soy milk (unflavored/unsweetened), almond milk, etc.
I was going to respond, but CS1012 just said the exact same thing I was going to type. The french press after grinding your own beans is just incredible.
Also, the fake sugars are horrible. I am allergic to phenylalanine which is GREAT IMO, since avoiding that alone cuts out a TON of bad food0 -
Love my coffee! Coffee after a nice dinner can be a great low cal alternative to dessert! Check out the Starbuck's nutrition page, some of their concoctions aren't the worst -- key word SOME.....0

That is the one thing I refuse to give up. In fact, if I have it before my main meal of the day I tend to eat less as well.0

I get a double shot of espresso at Sheetz instead of my usual cup of sugar and milk laden coffee at home. I just can't stand a full cup of coffee without adding something, so I get espresso, drink it really fast in the car before I drive off, and I have my boost of energy with only 10 calories.0

I have cut down on my coffee since beginning to diet. I used to have lots of coffee with 2 teaspoons of sugar and cream but now my calories are precious and I dont want to waste them. Instead I either have black coffee with sweetner or coffee with skimmed milk and sweetner. Less calories and I only drink 1 maybe 2 cups a day, feel much less sluggish for it too.0

Yes! I have to have my coffee although I drink it with fat free milk only..no sweetner for me.0

love my coffee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but I drink it black:drinker: or with some 1% or 2 %.....I gave up 'my creamers' the first of the year because my love for them was getting way out of control! Can you say addiction....0

Mmmmmmmm - Coffee! When I first started drinking it, I had it triple triple... went to double double... then regular, then just cream and now, I drink it with just milk and LOVE it this way. 22 calories a cup of my YUMMY wake-me-up!0
