  • I grew up in Seattle saying you aren't drinking coffee is WEIRD. I have been dairy-free all my life and I used the coconut creamer. It's really good. Or if I'm drinking out with friends I do an americano without milk.
  • i do not drink it because its the nastiest thing on earth.

    I alway drink my coffee...that is the one thing I don't change in habit and if I gave my coffee up I would probably going into a withdrawal. Although I would like to cut down because I drink to much coffee.... Maybe 3 or 4 a day.
  • I love my coffee and will never part from it. A cup of black coffee is low cal and low fat. I just add just a bit of skim milk.

    I have 3 cups of coffee a day. I still loose weight...but I use agave nectar in my coffee (1tspn) not tbspn because for a tbspn its 60 calories! I don't put in any milk in it, and it keeps me awake in the morning that's why I drink and also it tastes really good!

    I have to have my coffee in the morning. I just put a little bit of 2% milk in it...not many calories. I've never put sugar in it. That's not something I'm willing to give up. I only have 1 cup and I don't always finish it all. I think as long as you drink enough water, a cup or 2 of coffee is fine.
  • I'm drinking it but with 1/2 the sugar and creamer I usually use. I tried using other sweeteners but no longer enjoyed it. So this is the ONLY treat I allow myself on this diet. When I go through maintenance and get my weight where I want it, I'm hoping that I will be used to this taste and will never go back to how much I was using before. I always drink one cup at work. On the weekends, it's iffy. It just depends on how early I get up and if I need that extra boost :drinker: or not.
  • I have coffee several days a week. If I drank it black I'd have more, but I like my cream and sugar. :)

    Yes! I would kill people if I didn't have at least one cup first thing in the morning. When I first wake up, I am not a happy camper. :grumble:

    Yes, because it's delicious and it wakes me up. I use milk and splenda.

    What she said. I did kick diet Coke out and use fat free half and half!

    I'm not drinking it because I don't like it.
    I 'm a tea girl. Earl or Lady Grey, sometimes green, unsweetened with lemon.

    i drink coffee everyday. i can drink just plain coffee with no sugars or cream. i have always been that way. i am a caffeine addict. so i think coffee is a better choice for me then pop.

    I have one cup every morning with sugar and cream. I like it and have no plans on giving it up.

    im not because i drink it with a crapload of sugars. i dont like it black and supposedly the suggar adds a ton of calories that are unnecessary.

    also diabetes runs on both sides of my family. so yea no more coffee for me. only on special occasions from now on.

    I have two cups per day apart from weekends. I add skinny milk and no sugar.
  • I have one cup most mornings with some creamer. My eating window is from noon-7 (intermittent fasting), so it helps keep me full through the morning!

    i'm in college. I NEED coffee hahaha

    but yeah, I drink it with just milk now instead of loading it with cream and sugar. No more double double's from Tims for me :(

    I am probably one of the few people who actually enjoy the whole act of drinking coffee. I drink a couple of cups as I do my morning routine and take a mug to drink on my way to work. Then that's it. no more the rest of the day. I forfiet 100 calories a day for my creamer, but it's worth it. I did give up diet soda, not missing the bloating feeling that came with soda. That is the only thing that has stayed constant with my new lifestyle and eating habits, I have shucked off 30 pounds so far. Would it have come off any faster without coffee? Who knows, but since coffee is part of my lifestyle I'm not willing to give up, it doesn't matter.

    YES, because i dont want to hurt/murder/strangle/poke anyone unnecessarily, so one cup of AT HOME coffee... drink starbucks? you might as well eat half a pound of pure sugar.
  • I am not a coffee addict, but I have some occasionally. I am planning on going cold turkey. I sort of have social anxiety, and I hear that coffee actually makes it worse!

    Yes. Because I love it.
  • You know a cheat meal here and there is fine and I honestly don't think a little sugar in your day will kill you even if you are dieting. Although if you are putting half a qt of cream in your coffee or sugar for that matter you may need to re-evaluate what you are doing with your daily coffee. One cup a day is fine too just take your stuff in moderation people. There are side effects to everything and let proper logical knowledge rule your body not taste linking to emotional response that is short lived.
  • I love good, rich, strong black coffee and haven't slowed down any. I have at least two cups in the morning, then drink it until bedtime after I get home from work. Don't try to give me any caffeine free stuff either! lol Doesn't affect my sleep either, Guess I am immune!
