Coffee?

awholenewworld

I drink a ton of coffee with truvia and either coconut milk or almond milk. I stay within my calorie count, am I still hurting my weight loss? I know that the truvia isn't good for me but I like it and the calorie count is right. Thoughts?

IMHO Truvia is one of the better replacement sweeteners out there. It's closer to Stevia, which is my favorite for nutritional reasons, but Stevia can get really bitter if you use too much. If you are within your kcal/day and having the Truvia doesn't cause any cravings for other sweets, then I think you are just fine. The best test is how your body reacts to it. As in, do you still feel great/healthy and are you still losing/maintaining.
Good Luck!

Great. Thanks!

I'm a fan of Truvia. Just be sure you're logging the almond/coconut milk. Then you should be good to go.

If you are accurately tracking your calories then it shouldn't impact your weightless.

"tons" of coffee and truvia is questionable from a health perspective, but much better than sugar and cream

Don't believe us. Just Google it and you're eyes will be opened.

BTW...I've been drinking a pot of coffee a day for over 40 years and I'm always hydrated and it's not affecting my current weight loss effort.

Good luck.

Hi. I love coffee in the morning. I actually measure out 3 to 4 tablespoons of coffee creamer. I like the CoffeeMate Natural Bliss. Its my special treat of the day. 120 - 140 calories worth.

I tried Truvia but couldnt get used to the taste. I personally try to avoid sugar substitutes whenever possible, but I understand their place when counting calories.

Thanks so much. I drink somewhere around 25-30 ounces of coffee a day..sometimes even more. I log the calories from the coconut or almond milk and I use as little Truvia as I can. Just enough to take the edge off the bitterness.

Great question I have also wondered about this as I love coffee too.
