Coffee is great... However...

Coffee plus 2-3 *TBSPS* of chocolate caramel international delight, two cups a day.
... had to give it up. I think I was more addicted to the coffee creamer than the actual coffee.0 -
I've been drinking my coffee black for the past 6 months (and I'm never going back). But I lost the bulk of my weight with cream and sugar in my coffee, I just counted it with my calories. I only moved to black because my lactose intolerance is getting worse, I soon will sadly be unable to eat cheese in even small amounts.0

I use almond milk in mine and it has been wonderful.0

Half & Half also has a fat free that is very tasty. I normally drink my coffee straight out of the pot with no additives but occasionally I want something different and the Fat Free Half & Half works wonderfully. I also indulge in the flavored liquid creamers occasionally as a special treat - loving the Pumpkin Spice CoffeeMate right now. The Half & Half FF still has a few calories but not much full bodied. PLUS, if you adjust the rest of your day and stay in line with your daily goal your morning treat & treasure is not going to harm you. Enjoy your coffee and don't let it bother you.0

I figure half and half is a lot better than putting sugar in it, so I use a liberal amount of half and half and a squirt of pure almond extract...no sugar. I agree that using a good quality coffee makes a difference, too!0

I have come to accept that my morning coffee is just a delivery vehicle for my morning International Delights Creamer. There are sugar free version of several flavors, but they are hard to find. Calories come in a 20 per Tbs compared to 35 per for the regular0

I wish I could do this. I keep trying the black. But no not there yet0 -

I'm on a flavored creamer kick, but find I have to add too much to get it the way I like it, so kind of mixing it with a bit of 1% or 2% milk helps. If it didn't, i'd just add the creamer. I will not give up my morning coffee.
Yes maybe I'll try this.0 -
Sadly I just really enjoy my
Coffee. The way I have it with half and half. Once again having to change my life because of calories. Dammit lol0 -
butter - i cant give up butter0

Learn how to cold brew coffee. It takes the acidity out of it and tastes great0

Gradually reducing the amount of real half and half worked for me. I still use it but now enjoy coffee with 2 tablespoons of HnH or 1 with 2 TBLS milk.0

Gevalia coffee with one sweetener packet and a bit of vanilla. Took me a while to perfect the taste. It's heaven.
At work we have Folgers. I've reduced to a single creamer (pre measured) and one Splenda when I drink a mug at work.0 -
OP, if you really, really want it like that -- you do you. Just measure it accurately, log it, and work it into your calorie goal.
However, you can totally wean yourself off of that much cream and sugar if you want to. I went through phases in my twenties; black coffee for years, then nothing but super sweet cream and sugar in my coffee, then just cream, etc. I eventually worked my way down to 1 tsp of sweetener in black coffee, which now to my taste buds tastes plenty sweet. Sometimes I add two tbsps of half-and-half or flavored creamer on the weekend when I'm feeling luxurious, lol. I recommend doing it slowly, tbsp by tbsp, until one day you realize that black coffee is just fine.0 -
