I think you'll find that most people don't stop drinking coffee and do just fine! The important thing is to make it workable for you. If you are losing weight, feel good and are turning your WOE into a permanent lifestyle change, that's what is important!

Some folks give it up for health reasons above and beyond its insulin raising issues, or others because they don't want to be addicted to anything. If you have discovered that you are a massive sugar addict, sweet and creamy treats can become and addiction all on it's own. It's a highly personal decision.


This is a "maybe yes, maybe no" question! If you do need the fat calories, it's a way of getting them, but if you don't need them, then no.

One low carb tool that is great is a whipped cream bomb, like the one made by ISI. It's one great advantage is that you can add sweetener, or flavourings to the cream and avoid the sugar in a commercial whipped cream bomb. May seem pricey at first, but it pays for itself. You get a small amount of cream in a commercial bomb and the ISI holds much more.
