    Milk is less than 2 grams of carbs per ounce.

    "Creamers" are either fat and sugar or fat and sugar substitute or fat substitute and sugar.

    International Delight Hersheys Chocolate and Caramel creamer- 2 Tbsp. is 70 calories.... when it comes to my morning coffee there will be no skimping. Oh on top of the creamer I add 2 spoonfuls of Domino pure cane sugar..... Lost a few pounds drinking this every morning over the last 3 1/2 years...

    I don't skimp on my coffee. period. It's something that I really enjoy, and it is worth the extra calories. I would rather skimp someplace else. Not having a satisfying cup of coffee in the mornings is a bad way for me to start the day!

    I am in love love love with Starbuck's hot mocha coffee. I read in the Reader's Digest diet to add 1 Tablespoon Hersheys chocolate powder = 10cal, and 1 Tablespoon Honey=64cal. The neat thing the diet said is that Chocolate, Honey and Coffee are all 3 fat releasers. The book talked about the foods to increase in your diet to help your body let go of fat. These by far were my favorite. Not the same as Starbucks, but much more tolerable than Black. :)

    I use either coffeemate or international delights sugar free creamers. About 2 carbs and 15 calories per tablespoon.

    I'm the same when it comes to my morning coffee.

    I use Silk's Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk, ONLY 1 carb and 30 calories per cup (less than 4 calories per oz!) I use Splenda to sweeten. The almond milk doesn't make it super creamy but you can use more of it than regular creamer because of how low cal it is.

    do a google search for coffee flavorings (such as http://www.ecblendsflavors.com/ ) or check in your grocery store or maybe tea shop for flavorings. They're cheaper than the coffee itself. I get flavorings from Ingles Markets. I then use a non dairy creamer and sweetener and can have a variety of coffee flavors through the day.

    Milk is really you're only other choice. I absolutely LOVE creamer, so I am ok with using it..and a lot of it haha. I just watch what I eat to make up for it. Lost 30lbs the first time not worrying about the creamer ;)

    Use an All-Fat Creamer in Your Coffee.
    ZERO CARBS! =)

    me, im not a coffee drinker by definition. i dont drink it to jump start my day. caffeine doesnt have a stimulant effect on me. but i have been drinking it lately. if i have it- i prefer to drink it with 1 T. heavy cream.

    this information supports this choice:

    Millions of women think they’re doing the right thing by using skim milk or fat-free creamer in their coffee, but these dairy products can actually cause weight gain by spiking insulin. Go for full-fat cream instead since dairy fat contains CLA-conjugated linoleic acid, which has been linked to a decrease in stored body fat.

    There are some studies that have seen women lose 2-4 pounds a week by making this small change, which also helps prevent afternoon energy dips. Put 2 tablespoons of all-fat cream in your coffee and you’ll actually lower your chance of gaining weight over the course of the year.

    coconut oil. (no carbs, and full of good fat)

    it sounds weird, but it tastes so good. I'm not a big coffee drinker, but i've been hit with the "bullet proof coffee" bug. I don't buy the fancy beans, but I have coffee every morning now with a tbsp of coconut oil, blended for like 5 seconds in my single serve blender. Delish!

    I started using whole milk instead of creamer, then 1%, then finally skim, which I used to hate. It's pretty easy to get used to and makes coffee hardly any calories. Now I hate cream. At least switch to whole milk if you're worried about calories.
