    I don't drink coffee but that is only because I have stomach problems and coffee is a trigger.

    If you are interested in having that same effect, but want to stop drinking coffee here is a good substitute:

    1 cup hot water
    1-2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
    1 teaspoon honey

    coffee (without milk) can be good for fat burning and getting you going in the morning. I personally dont drink coffee because of taste. Instead i drink green tea without milk. which is also good for fat burning.

    I do drink coffee. It's not something i am willing to give up. I love it. Besides i just got a new Keurig for Christmas, but i looked it up and there is no nutritional value in the coffee itself, but where i find my problem is in the creamer. I am working on lowering the cups a day i drink and only in the last few days have i lowered the amount of creamer i use which is helping my sure stay lower. The creamer has a lot of sugar which sends mine over as far as MFP, but since i lowered it i went from over 50 to just over 12 so its a start.

    i changed to black coffee. I love that its only 2 calories but a little something more than water. If I have extra calories then I add a touch of creamer or sugar/sweetener. Not giving it up.

    I don't drink hardly any coffee anymore. I have about one a day now and I only drink it because I like the taste. I used to be very addicted to it. Now I have at least one cup of green tea a day and lots of water. The reason I cut way back is because I didn't like feeling so dependent on it. It was like a drug. I didn't like not having the freedom to go somewhere and being tied down to whether coffee was available. Now it doesn't matter.

    I love my coffee with a little bit of cream. Wakes me up and boosts the metabolism a bit!

    Don't give it up. Just switch to some skim milk and either no sweetner, splenda if you must or agave. Just limit it and try to drink it black eventually (I find naturally flavored brew coffees I can drink black easily) But if you love it, don't give it up completely.

    I love my coffee...and much better for you than any soft drink (diet or not). I usually drink mine with some half and half but also like some coconut oil every now and then.

    I am just curious if people are drinking coffee? I have heard mixed things in relation to weight loss. So, why or why not? I personally stopped because it made me feel dehydrated, gross, and I like a little cream and sugar in it. I also hate the headaches I have without it. BUT! I had a cup today and it was soooo wonderful. I am wondering if this is something I want to completely give up......

    Thoughts?

    I have been trying to give it up as well, I have taken to adding a tsp or 2 (depending on how strong I want it) of instant granules to my protein shake I have in the morning. This makes the chocolate a mocha flavor, AND has eliminated my headaches from the lack of coffee! I was drinking an average of 3-4 large coffees a day before. Now it is just a treat every now and then.

    Coffee is one of my greatest pleasures in life. No way I could ever EVER stop drinking it. I drink at least 16 to 20 oz a day. Touch of cream, touch of sugar. If I'm at home, I drink it with a bit of international delights creamer. My bf accused me the other day of being a coffee creamer hoarder because I'm always buying a new flavor even if I have 3 in the fridge already.

    YES, It is my only vice. I have noticed I am drinking less coffee since I started on my weight loss adventure here. Only drinking 2-3 cups daily now. I add nonfat/non dairy creamer and no sugar.
