First Day--Sort Of
| Tue, 01-13-2004 - 4:10pm |
Hi--This is my "First Official Day." I'm really excited. It sounds great! I've tried them all, just like so many of you have. My big problem is I have one cup of coffee every day, and I HAVE to have my Half & Half--the Regular kind. I have about three quarts of it. My question is, will it really kill my diet if I use the regular half & half? I know it sounds silly, but I hate the fat free kind.

Welcome to the board, we are happy to have you!
Hi Sue,
You mean that you drink ONE cup of coffee per day and want just one splash of half and half in that one cup?

no I haven't tried Diet Vanilla - I haven't been tempted just yet sicne I've been on SBD (three days). But soon I'm sure. :) I've tried plain diet coke and can't stand it. Maybe diet vanilla will be better, even if only b/c I LOOOOOOOOOOVE Vanilla coke. :) Thanks for the sugegstion. Will try next time I crave it.
Also sparkling flavored water is pretty good. :)
I just wanted to post to you to let you know that it is possible to drink that much coffee and lose. I do. I wouldn't encourage it, and definitely think if you can give it up, all the better. But the truth is is that I have 2-3 cups of coffee per morning, and occasionally will have one in the afternoon, and/or a diet coke in the afternoon/evening.
So I'm definitely a case of "do as I say, not as I do". But for me, this is a big cut-back to how much I consumed before. Really! I'm sure I'd have lost more weight by now if I were not having this much. But as Mel says, "you choose what you choose".
My advice is don't have it alone. Caffeine raises blood sugar, so treat it like a carb snack. Have some cheese, ham, etc. with it.
