    I LOVE heavy whipping cream in my coffee, and I like the Splenda with B vitamins packets (I use 2). Oh, oh and a pinch of cinnamon. :) I can't use sugar in my coffee...makes me have severe mood swings. :)

    2 Tablespoons of fat free half and half. 20ish calories per cup. I learned to do without sugar, i weaned myself off it by taking away one 1/4 teaspoon each day.

    Heavy whipping cream, splenda, and coconut oil or butter. After I have reached certain goals I drink it black. (I drink a lot of coffee, lol)

    I cant do black coffee either. I used to have a problem with needing it to be really sweet in order to drink it. BUT, I have cut way back on the Splenda and the creamer as well, a little at a time. I used CoffeeMate Sugar Free French Vanilla (or Fat Free version if need be). That is the ONLY sugar free creamer I like. I have tried others and they all have a nutty taste to them (I.M.O.)

    GOOD LUCK!!!

    I used to put so much sugar in my coffee, but after working at Dunkin' Donuts one summer and seeing how much they put in if you just say "regular" I decided to wean myself off of it and now I don't use any sugar at all! Once you get used to it, you can drink it just with milk and it's still delicious. I'll add cinnamon sometimes, too which adds a lot of flavor.

    Creamer. Typically two tablespoons does it for me. Only adds 70 calories for the day.

    I add 1 packet of Stevia and a very small amount of 5% light cream.

    I use Stevia and Half and Half. I think Half and Half gets a bad wrap.
    it has less carbs than milk and when you use half and half you dont need as much i find.

    A little half and half.

    Also, are you drinking GOOD coffee? I'm sure some would say I'm a coffee snob, but if you're not buying freshly roasted beans from a local roaster and grinding your own, you aren't drinking fresh coffee. Trust me, there is a huge difference :)

    ^^^ and a good flavored creamer. I REFUSE to give this up!

    I use some homemade almond "cream" with a packet of Stevia in the Raw. I buy flavored coffee to make up for the loss of flavoring in the creamer.

    99% of the time I drink mine black. Occasionally I make Turkish coffee, and that is best made with extra dark (Muscovado) brown sugar.

    If you can't drink black coffee, you're drinking the wrong coffee. There are tons of different roasts and varieties of coffee out there. I can't stand medium roast coffees black, for me it's either light or dark. Also, strong coffee tastes better than weak coffee, the vast majority of people brew coffee way too weak.

    One tsp. of coconut palm sugar and one Tbsp. of flavored creamer to two cups of coffee...can't do the black either!

    Straight up half and half (worth the calories to me) and NO sugar. I can't stand sugar in my coffee.

    I never thought I could drink black coffee until I stayed at a B&B where they only offered sugar or Sweet 'n Low and non-dairy creamer. I was trying the Atkins Diet at the time and none of those work with Atkins. My only choice was to drink black coffee or go into caffeine withdrawal. Luckily, the B&B owners ground fresh coffee daily, so the quality of the coffee was excellent. By the end of the week, I had learned to like my coffee black, and now I prefer it. Going out for a latte is like going out for dessert to me.

    Sounds weird I guess to force yourself for a week and develop a taste, but now I never worry about whether I should try to take along my favorite sweetener on a trip. If you are changing your diet anyway, to rid yourself of excess sugars or sodium, you start to appreciate the natural flavor of foods and don't need as much flavoring added. It's the same with coffee and chocolate.

    ^^ THIS!

    I was a Coffemate French Vanilla liquid creamer & sugar girl two years ago...I weaned off the creamer when I realized how full of crap it was, then eventually weaned off sugar onto Splenda. I drank it that way for over a year. About a month ago I cut out the Splenda after research on the chemicals in our artificial sweeteners. Now, IF I drink coffee, I drink it black and strong. It's just as good and I've learned to appreciate a good cup of coffee rather than making it rich and sweet like another candy drink. I'm trying to get healthy and all that crap sabotages my progress. I'm happy now with a cup of warm lemon water that benefits my liver. God knows I've abused it...poor thing. :drinker:

    I use half and half and honey. Brings my cup to about 80 calories but I only have a cup a day so it's worth it to me to have it the way I truly enjoy. I don't like fake creamers or sweeteners *blah*

    Half & half and Splenda. Delicious. I like dark roasts, and I think the cream and sweetener really bring out the richness of the flavor. It's just too bitter by itself.

    Skim milk. With the right coffee it tastes naturally sweet.

    i can't do black coffee either. I add sweetener and 1% milk, or if I really wanna get fancy, sometimes I buy the sugar free creamers and add a bit of that. I know aspartame is evil (or many on here claim it is), but I think it's better than loading my coffee with sugar.

    Sidenote - you are beautiful! No homo lol.

    ROTFLMAO! Thank you :happy:
