In my before life I loved myself a white coffee with sugar, and craving that coffee was always the thing that caused me to break my fasts early. So 2 months ago, I decided to get serious and quit milk and sugar in my coffee altogether. I have been drinking it black no sugar since then, and today pleasantly discovered that I don’t hate the taste any more! I think I’m on my way to enjoying it this way, which is very exciting to me!!! I haven’t broken fast early since I quit white coffee.
looking into buying an aeropress coffee maker. It takes out 90% of the acid and bitterness.
You’ll want your water to be around 195F to brew and when you press down to express the coffee, once you hear the air escape stop.
It’s a complete game changer.
I have always been a tea drinker - with oat milk. I didn’t like the flavour of anything coffee but now I only drink black coffee and can’t drink breakfast tea. Our taste buds do changes, I was eating an Oreo bite that my daughter had but it tasted like butter and nothing else so I declined another one.
Me too. And I was always breaking my fast at 5 o’clock in the morning with my coffee/cream/sugar. This week I started drinking black coffee but I did change the brand. I went from Starbucks to Lavazza, which is so much better.
I’ve been having one meal a day for the last two weeks, no breakfast, usually a cold coffee, 1 ts of coffee & 1 ts of sugar, might have the same for lunch as well, usually Coke Sugar Free, Pepsi Max or Diet Lime cordial during the day, lost like .8 of a kg, tempted to try black coffee but the smell turns me off, haha.
Need to find a coffee in Australia that isn’t so strong, especially when black.
Coffee is one of the strange ones. Most of the time when people say “it’s an acquired taste,” I feel as if that… just isn’t true. For many other foods, the more I have it the more I get sick of it, at least temporarily. But I could have black coffee everyday and it only gets better.
Welcome to the world of the true coffee drinkers club. Go get yourself a variety of nice roasts and enjoy the natural flavor! Was the same way 5-6 years ago and now when I get milked down coffee I find it disgusting.
I started drinking black coffee on a diet years ago and even though that diet eventually failed i kept with it. Now i love black coffee but I’m trying to reduce my caffeine because i think it is elevating my blood pressure.
Wow, congratulations on sticking to your goal of quitting milk and sugar in your coffee! It’s great to hear that you’ve developed a taste for black coffee and have been able to maintain your fasting. Your discipline and determination are truly inspiring. Keep up the great work and don’t forget to reward yourself for your achievements along the way!
I put Coffee Dust in my coffee - it’s like adding cinnamon but with more flavor profiles. I THINK this IF approved since a serving size (1/8 tsp) is essentially 0 calories. Would love validation if it is or not!
