[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you tried to change from liking it very sweet to drinking dark coffee with cream? I think the fat plus sugar of most creamers is a lot, but if you can take out either the fat (and just add plain sugar) or sugar (and just add plain cream) it cuts the calories. I made this switch about 5 years ago and now can’t stand the taste of sweetener in coffee. Your palate adjusts.

I do drink a lot of coffee, and the calories in the cream add up. I just make cuts elsewhere - dessert for me needs to be fruit, for example.[/quote]

I really don’t know if I can!!! Maybe just plain milk and light sugar..[/quote]You can!   You just have to wean yourself off of the sugar.  First cut the sugar in half and drink it that way for several weeks.  Then cut again for several weeks.  I thought I would never stop the sugar, but it works.  The milk cuts the bitterness which is really what you want.  [/quote]

NP who did the cut in half trick, and it worked for me, too! I did this with a lot of my sugar consumption, like buying plain yogurt and adding a smaller and smaller amount of honey every few weeks. Now I like only a teaspoon of creamer in my coffee, and can even tolerate it black.

OP, I like the Chobani creamers, too. I’ll also do half and half with a tiny bit of honey or maple syrup if I run out. [/quote]
