evil coffee creamer.....solutions?

I have to have coffee. Mentally & physically.

From the sound of it you have to have cream and sugar.
I guess you don't actually like coffee if you have to destroy it with cream and sugar.
Maybe try caffeine pills.

This. Black coffee is the only coffee.

I used to weigh nearly 230 lbs-that was almost 10 years ago. The most important and difficult change for me to make was to stop drinking my calories. It was a hard change at first but I cut out anything liquid that was sweetened. No more sugar in my coffee, no more soda or juice. I am with you in that I LOVE coffee. I started using fat free half and half and cutting the sugar in half at first then half of that until I was no longer using sugar in my coffee at all. I have an allergy to artificial sweeteners and frankly hate the way they taste so wouldn't use those anyway. Eventually the creamer became enough in my coffee-it has lactose which is milk sugar and that is enough sweet for me. Good luck and kudos to you for wanting to make the change!

I have to have coffee. Mentally & physically. Perhaps I can eventually give it up, but for now it stays. I was wondering what some of y'all use to sweeten your coffee. My fat free hazelnut creamer blows me out of the water on sugars...... I like cream & sugar because I like my coffee very strong. Please & thank you. :drinker:

You asked for solutions, so here it goes

Black coffee with Splenda or Truvia. Creamers in my opinion insult the taste of a nice cup of brewed coffee.

I use Splenda with the powdered creamer as well.... I like that too.

In before a diabetic states how bad sugar is for diabetics. Remember OP, mentioned nothing about diabetes.

Not to derail this thread or anything, but in what context is sugar not bad for a diabetic?
While I realize OP never said anything about diabetes, I'm a little perplexed about this statement.

Sugar isn't great for diabetics, but I think what this poster was saying is that diabetics often try to project their diabetes onto everyone. Since sugar isn't good for them they think that sugar is the devil for everyone.

low fat frozen yogurt vanilla flavor. Honey as well.

I LOVED flavored creamers and used them every day. And really, in a super-tall cup of coffee, who uses JUST two tablespoon fulls?! Those calories add up quickly!

Got a great tip from an MFP pal... started using unsweetened vanilla almond milk to lighten my coffee, with a half-scoop of Syntrax protein powder (chocolate mint cookie flavor) to flavor it. YUM!!!!! The Syntrax brand disolves quickly and completely and tastes FABULOUS! Low sugar, low carb, and a great dose of protein to boot! I have it every morning. I prefer it to my old Coffee Mate or International Delight, because they don't have that yummy flavor!

Ooooh! I used to do that! Whipping cream, cold brew coffee, and a scoop of protein powder gets me through my morning!

I know what I'm doing tomorrow morning! Thanks for the reminder.

I use truvia to sweeten and to lighten I use either vanilla almond milk, my carton says 15 g of sugar in one cup.
