COFFEE LOVERS - Anyone given it up?

Puddles0308 · July 2012

I could never give it up. I cut back to 1 cup per day and completely cut out the cream and sugar. Only use 1% milk now.

nope, not at all, I just don't use the creamers as much, but I still have my pot or two on the weekends, and normal amount during the week, I choose to "spend" my cals on that, doesn't work out to be too much

I could never give up coffee. I drink 6-7 cups a day with no sugar and semi skimmed milk. All these are logged properly, but without coffee I would be a divorcee whose children have abandoned her. I tried to give up coffee once and my husbad described me as a rotweiller on heat - I'd rather stay normal (ish)

I have an espresso, some to most mornings, and i've found that adding hazelnut milk gives it a great flavour and cuts out regular milk calories and fat.

LOVE my coffee, but I seem to be losing my taste for it. I don't know if it is for the fact that I'm eating breakfast regularly or if it is the combo of that and the vitamin supplements.

During the week I usually only have one cup of coffee and a cup of hot tea at work.. :drinker: I drink alot of water during the day as well..

I am not giving up my coffee until the doctor says it's life-threatening. For me, coffee is more important than chocolate.

I did, however, change to black unsweetened coffee. Just good quality strong black hot coffee.

Besides, without any sugar or milk/cream in it, a cup of coffee is only 5 kcal, why would I ever cut that minuscule amount out? it's not going to matter at all to my calorie goal and it keeps me happy like nothing else on the planet.

I've tried to give it up many times... Its such a challenge. To try to get through the headaches and lack of energy. I'm trying to get into shape so that I will have extra energy. I've always been busy and relied on Coffee. Usually working at least two jobs. I'm proud to say I'm now down to 2 cups a day!

"Turkish people claimed coffee to be an aphrodisiac and husbands kept their wives well supplied. If the husband refused, it was a legitimate cause for a wife to divorce!"

Not after reading this!!!!

Coffee is a great kick start in the morning for me. The health food store near me carries this http://teeccino.com/ i use it when i want to have something warm at night. It has almost the same flavour as coffee, and is great for those with acid reflux.

I WILL NOT give up my coffee! lol

I already gave up almost everything that is bad before me, that is one thing if I dont get, I become a cranky cranky person.

I miss coffee! Had to give it up because I have IBS. I replaced coffee with green tea. It's much healthier and gives energy for longer. I drink about 3 cups a day. Result: much less stomach pain, no more coffee breath

it took me a while to get used to it. But I can't have black tea or milk either.

I have one cup of coffee a day. The rest of the time I drink water or tea.

Are you KIDDING????? People could DIE if I didn't have my super-size double shot skinny cappuccino on the way to work!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I gave it up.

The benefits? My teeth are much much whiter than they were, and it's less sugar for me.
I replaced my coffee with Lipton Island Mango & Peach White Tea-Pyramid Tea Bags. Every week I try to try a different tea, but this one has been my favorite.

I am wondering why you would want to. Coffee has very little calories, 2 per cup max. It provides health benefits. Use real sugar (much better than artificial stuff) if you need to, it only has 16 calories per serving. All the pick-me up and a little sweet for max 18 calories!
