    I put half n half in my coffee.

    Yep, you read that right.

    Why not enjoy it?

    I just make it fit in my calorie budget.

    People make calories and food way too hard. Eat what you like, within your budget. You'll be happy and lose weight. Best of both worlds.

    This...yes this.

    I limited myself to only 2 cups of coffee (fixed up the way I like it) every week, and it made me *miserable*. I changed just a couple of days ago to drinking it every day, the way I *want* to drink it. It means I may not be able to squeeze in as many other snacks as before, and it may mean skipping a biscuit or an extra piece of bread or something...but damn I love my coffee, and I'm gonna have it if I want it. I just make it work.

    To me...it's about making changes I can stick with for the rest of my life, not just until I lose my weight.

    Colter Coffee, Organic Thunderbolt, DARK!, coarse grind, 7 scoops in the French press. 2-3 TBSP organic heavy whipping cream/unsweetened coconut milk mix. Coffee perfection! Without the cream is delish, but the cream makes it PERFECT!

    I was always a fan of the flavored creamers, which can def add on the calories. Not a fan of black coffee, so was trying to think of something to add in to give it a flavor and sweetness

    If you enjoy them- then keep on having them.
    International Delight makes great sugar Free/Fat Free creamers- 15 calories a Tbsp
    Caramel Marshmallow, Caramel Cream, French Vanilla, Toasted Hazelnut and my favorite- Chocolate Almond Biscotti.
    My husband purchases raw green coffee beans and roasts them fresh.
    The quality and taste of the coffee itself is superb.
    I don't give a *kitten*- I LOVE MY CREAMERS AND I'M GONNA DRINK THEM!

    Interesting reading all the coments about how long it took people to get used to black. Took me like 1 year! I wanted to drink too much coffee to always add a creamer so I kept at it. Before that I couldn't stand it without sweetener and added either sugar free french vanilla coffee creamer or skim milk + sugar.

    I sometimes put Organic Valley French Vanilla Creamer in it, but just a small splash. Otherwise, I drink mine black. As others have said, the higher quality beans, the less you'll need to flavor it with something.

    coffee has no carbs and barelly any calories... and if you are a huge fan of coffee why would you want to add anything to it?

    I have mine black with a teaspoon of coconut oil. If I am out I order a macchiato.

    I use a bit of half and half cream and 1 splenda. I will never give up my coffee.

    Occassionally I treat myself to a Starbucks Latte of some sort, but that's probably once every 2 or 3 months.

    WIll definitely be indulging in a Pumpkin spice latte soon!

    Look at all the coffee lovers! LOL, this thread is less than a day old and is up to 4 pages.

    I just discovered Almond Breeze Unsweetened Almondmilk/Coconutmilk blend. It's 45 cal/cup, minimal carbs and thicker than unsweetened almond milk alone. It lightens up my coffee (1/4 c. per 6-8 oz. coffee) but does not sweeten it much at all. I've gotten used to coffee without sweetener but you can always add splenda.

    I use splenda and either half and half or creamer of some sort. I limit myself to 2 mugs of coffee a day maybe 3 on a rare day. I measure all my extras out and account for them. Sometimes I treat myself to my favorite espresso based drink.

    Oh my! Almond coconut milk blend...sounds gorgeous, my coffee needs this! I'll be on the lookout for it next time I go shopping.
