    Hi, you two. Coffee is fine. If you need to sweeten it, I encourage you to consider our recommendations here – http://www.trimdownclub.com/the-best-way-to-sweeten-your-tea-2. As for whiteners, if the half-and-half is natural and without additives (other than any nutrients, of course), it is fine – each tablespoon is half a fat exchange.

    Is Tea ok too? I drink it with just milk! This is my first day on the plan and I need lots of encouragement. I really want to lose weight our daughter is getting married this August.

    Hi, Joy (and thanks, mohoney!). Tea is particularly recommended, especially whole leaf tea. If you use bags, be sure to rinse them in cool water before making the tea, to get rid of the coating.

    Hi Ossie, what else would you suggest as a whitener that does not use a fat exchange?
    I don’t use sugar.

    Hi, marg_new, and welcome! It depends what brown sugar you are using. Many brown sugar products are actually refined sugars with a few additives. We prefer you use whole raw sugar or coconut sugar, which are both brown but much better for you. And of course, watch the amounts, as they can add up quickly – each tablespoon equals a carb exchange.

    Hi Ossie, I have asked this question twice without an answer:
    What else, other than half & half, would you recommend for up to three cups of coffee that would not require a fat exchange? Thank you.

    Hi, jnk007. My original response is below, but I’ll repost – your half-and-half is fine, as long as it is real, with no chemical additives or sweeteners. Other options include vegetal “milks” such as almond and hazelnut milk, if you like those flavors.
