“I always want some cream and a bit of sugar.”

Those flavored Coffee Creamers are my downfall! BUT - when the flavored bottle is 1/2 empty, I’ve been re-filling it with 1/2 & 1/2 and that’s keeping me happy.

I really don’t have a sweet tooth, but I, too, like my coffee sweet.

That’s one thing I’m working on. Hoping to eventually get it down to just coffee and the 1/2 & 1/2. There are all sorts of chemicals in those creamers. Maybe I’ll switch to the more ‘natural ones’ first...or figure out how to flavor 1/2 & 1/2. It can’t be THAT hard!

You’re attitude is right. You just gotta keep trying things till you find what works for you!

This is counter-intuitive but I would recommend heavy cream instead of coffee creamers or 1/2 & 1/2.

Yes, heavy cream is high in fat and high in calories, but it has virtually zero carbs.

I also recommend Lavazza Oro coffee.

I would also recommend lactose free dairy as a way to reduce carbs. My preference is Fairlife. Fairlife make a chocolate ice-cream which is delicious.

IMHO, walking is the best exercise.

Best wishes for your success.
