The key is learning to drink coffee as plain as possible which will take some time for your taste buds to adjust, but soon you’ll even enjoy drinking coffee this way.
Should you ever drink a decadent speciality coffee? Yes, it’s OK to have one as a treat every once in awhile, but drinking them all the time could prevent you from achieving your weight loss and health goals.
