    Re: question about coffee

    Have you read the ingredients? Make sure there's nothing in them that's not on the acceptable foods list. If not, then I would think it's ok.

      generally coffeemate is loaded with corn syrup solids. Read the ingredients not just the nutritional facts.

        Coffeemate makes a sugar-free liquid and is 1 carb per tablespoon. It doesn't taste half bad!!
        What would we do without it?

              If it were me, I would cut out the coffee completely.

                Agree with Rich
                i quit caffeine completely
                suffered from major headache for a couple of days but I haven't been drinking any for 4 months, feeling great and don't looking for caffeine anymore
                (I used to drink 4/5 cups of coffee a day)

                  When I drink decaff, which is not very frequently, I just add a little cream and some Da Vinci syrup. Much richer tasting than coffeemate! I think even the low carb coffeemate has sugar/non-legal ingredients.

                    This has been the worst part, my coffee!!!! AHHH!!!! I just love coffee, and am unsure about being able to give it up. I will try, I promise!

                      Why use that horrible coffeemate when you can have real cream? I have decaff coffee most of the time with the occassional half and half (coffee and decaff - I mixed up a special jar and when this one is gone, no more).

                          Yes, I'm bring back an old thread, but it pertains to my question....

                          I'm still in the induction phase & I was wondering if its okay to have heavy whipping cream in my one cup of decaf a day?
