    During the week I drink my coffee black. On Saturday or Sunday, I throw in a splash of whatever creamer my boyfriend has. Usually it is French vanilla or hazelnut(I would gladly take both), but I believe it is a cookie one now. It's one of the treats I allow myself on one weekend day. Way better than the light and sweet dunkin coffees I used to treat myself to every day, often more than once a day.

    Protein powder. One scoop mixed with some water and then thats my creamer. It's a win win. Not wasting fats in a drink and getting my protein in.

    it all depends on your eating plan. Keto? Adkins..low carb? Use heavy cream or half and half. High in fat..but they don't care. . Counting calories? If you can stand almond milk..it is low in calories 40 to 60 calories a cup.. .. I do skim milk myself.

    I've just accepted that it eats my calories and adjust accordingly. I love my flavored coffee creamer. I've tried probably 10 other options over the years and none compare to what I like.

    I drink cold brew coffee with 1% milk and a touch of maple syrup. 1 cup a day

    2 TBSP fair life whole milk - 20 cals, and it's a higher than normal protein milk, so it has more body in coffee than regular whole milk. For flavor, if I want it, I have several "extracts" - one drop of vanilla, or butter pecan, or almond - there's many flavor extracts you can buy, not just vanilla. Happy for the wallet too vs. creamer.

    In an ideal world I would add all the sugar and heavy cream to my coffee I want..... * drooling just thinking about it *
    But instead I use the coffeemate original powder (1 to 2 TBS ) and 1 to 2 packets of equal.

    Weight loss has to be sustainable and maintainable I have come to accept that it just has to be counted in for my sanity

    This is a product that is newly available in my area (Central Texas). I'm going to give it a go when I pick up groceries later today. I'm not Keto, but I am trying to watch my carb intake due to high A1C's. Hopefully I'll like this product and it will help with my daily carb totals.

    I drink one coffee a day and still use cream. It’s worth the calories to me and keeps me sane.

    If you like it you can replicate it for less money - it's just butter, MCT oil, and whey protein.

    They add water and emulsifiers, which you wouldn't need to do. Probably one of these is a preservative as well - also unnecessary when you are adding as you go.

    Ingredients: Water, Grass‑fed Butter, Grass‑fed Whey Protein, MCT Oil. contains 1.5% or less: Acacia Gum, Dipotassium Phosphate, Trisodium Citrate, Gellan Gum, Quillaja Extract.

    I've noticed that a huge downfall for me is coffee creamer. What type of creamer do you use?

    Fat-free dry creamer, Coffeemate unflavored.
