Coffee and creamer/sugar
09-27-2016, 11:01 AM
Guys,
I've really cleaned up my diet and have been exercising now for a few months. I have definitely made some gains. I did have a very specific question though. I know that refined sugar is bad for and can cause spikes in insulin and other adverse effects. For the last month, I cut out all refined sugar. This meant I also gave up coffee. Why? Because I love coffee but only with creamer.
Here is the thing. I love coffee and I don't really have any other vices if you will. I don't drink and I don't smoke and now I watch my diet. But, I have lost a lot of pleasure from not drinking it. I want to bring it back. Do you guys think, as long as I regulate my sugar intake everywhere else, will using sugar and creamer in two cups of coffee a day be that detrimental to my gains? I'm getting tired of not really eating or drinking anything that I really enjoy.
I hope this makes sense, let me know if not.
Thanks.

Bro.
Buy some stevia and walden farms creamer and have your coffee. Stop over thinking things.

I use Agave and organic heavy cream. Coconut milk works well if you like the taste. I also buy Organic French Roast beans which I grind myself. If you are concerned with acidity I suggest cold-brewing, it eliminates the acidity factor present in coffee.

I haven't tried Walden Farms, I'll look into it. Stevia, however, has a bad aftertaste to me.
Thanks for looking out.

Coconut butter, or heavy cream.

Never used that powdered creamer, it's full of corn syrup solids and other trash. If I must put something in mine it's heavy whipping cream only and maybe a tiny bit of pure cane sugar.
I never thought that black coffee would be tolerable, but it only takes about a month to fully adjust to it.

Ethiopians, the people who invented coffee drink however many millennia ago, reduced bitterness with salt. They didn't know of sugar's existence back then.

Try monk fruit sweetener / sugar. It tastes like sugar with no aftertaste, it's natural (from a fruit) but without the bad insulin spiking effects and other effects of sugar. I use that and coconut milk in my coffee.

Try wild honey. That's what I use for a sweetener. Almond and coconut butter milk works as well.

I understand that sugar should be avoided, but what's wrong with adding normal milk (say 1% fat) to coffee?

Coconut milk is great in coffee.

Milk has sugar in it--lactose. To avoid it, use heavy cream.
But if you are going to drink milk like starting strength recommends, make it whole milk.

Drinking black coffee is literally considered to be dark triad.

My diet is shit but I throw a little stevia and skim milk in my coffee and it's good. Drink it on ice.
Actually started spending money on food TODAY I am also (finally) mostly vice free. Got off hard drugs (opiates) in February, havent drank since before but I was smoking expensive amounts of weed.

I use Nespresso Vertuoline. It makes a coffee with a thick cream without adding anything. I then add a splenda and its amazing.

It's also a bit more expensive, but Nestle sells a "natural" variation of their coffee creamer that has a very short ingredients list. Not sure about where you are at but in my area every non-discount grocery store carries it.

I used to be a coffee addict. Now I drink an occasional cup on weekends, with butter and coconut cream. Agree that it's hard to kick a coffee habit 100%, because it just tastes so damn good. Got the idea with butter and coconut cream from The Bulletproof Executive.
It tastes awesome and is a healthier alternative, give it a try.
