Coffee Suggestions

I am looking for suggestions on how to move to a more calorie friendly coffee option. My norm is extra light (cream) and extra sweet (sugar). What should my first change be and what can I expect?

HI Danielle, I would try either doing it very slowly, as in cutting back on the cream and sugar just a little bit at a time. YOu could also try using splenda and sugar (mix it) and then evenutally just use the splenda or equal...I like both. You can do it with cream too and try the fat free cream. Hope this helps... carol b

I tried cutting down 3 months before surgery and found nothing worked, I loved my Starbucks and light cream with spleda and nothing else did it for me. My only answer was to quit. No coffee at all. It worked and I do not desire it anymore. So much energy from the weight loss I don't need it to wake up anymore. I could not find a fat free diet cream that worked and don't like black coffee. Hope you find something that works if u do please share someday I may want to try a cup you never know. T

A friend of mine likes her coffee light and sweet also, but couldn't have it because of her diet so she started using the powdered creamer....there is no fat and I'm not sure about calories, but it can't be many. It doesn't cool the coffee down, but it does make it like there is cream in it. I also like splenda in my coffee....especially iced because it doesn't clump on the bottom and the best part is that there are no calories.

Fat Free 1/2 and 1/2 with splenda!!!!!!! i'm a total cream freak - and i can't really tell the difference with this stuff. Granted, they don't have it at Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks - but at home it's great. When you're out and frequenting one of these places.. honestly, a few tablespoons of cream isn't gonna kill you - but as a habit, it could add up! But seriously - splenda is the best invention on earth. Soon enough, sugar in your coffee will taste funny and you'll send it back for splenda. I swear to God. Kristen
