now im googling. I've been stalled at 190-195 (5'8") for a while now... ready to jump into the latest fad diet to try to push down to 15% bodyfat (or ideally lower).

Give it a try. The app is really good. So if you do it, get the app.

you breathed it out, actually. There is a lot of water in your breath. your body also continues sweating and processing urine while you sleep.

2lbs in 3 hours seems like a lot, but overnight and including a piss in the morning, that's about what I tend to lose. And it's not just water that you're breathing out, but carbon dioxide as well.

Down about 10 pounds on the latte and no french fry diet, my metabolism hasnt shit out as much as I thought it had now that I'm conscious of just how many bullshit calories I was taking in with sides and soft drinks.

Yea, medium fries are like 250-300 cal, and medium soda or coffee is often 200ish as well. Cutting both out over a week will burn 1-2 lbs.

Coffee is only about 5 calories if you drink it black, so it's not the coffee that's the issue. It's all the milk/creamers/sugar/other crap people put in the coffee.

This ends up being about 8oz of 2% milk and keeps me dancing for about 4 hours so it's a win overall prob

I just forced myself to drink black coffee over and over to the point that I prefer it now.

Yea, and diet soda is generally 0 calories. The more popularly consumed version of the product is full of sugar.

Not to be a coffee snob but I feel most people who hate black coffee buy garbage coffee. Get yourself a grinder and don't buy folgers garbage.

I buy Starbucks French roast because I have no idea about coffee quality and just like the extreme bitterness, and I grind My own and do cold brew.

I am thinking about trying different brands, and recently read that blonde roasts actually have more caffeine, so I may try that.

Snob away, but don't tease me with the deets. What would recommend for someone who wants to learn to love black coffee?

Just start drinking it and deal with the fact that you don't need to flavor coffee because you're not a five year old. In the end you'll come to prefer it.

I drink stumptown but that's cause it's everywhere and local here. Probably best to start with something medium flavor so it's not overpoweringly bitter.

Fuck that. I'll stay five years old so I can have my vanilla lattes. Also this is why I only drink coffee like once a week anymore.

I kinda feel like anything you have to "just get used to it tasting like shit" you should probably just skip.

Well you've picked your battle. I get it. you can, however, switch to black, drink it whenever you wish and ultimately it will make vanilla lattes somewhat gross by comparison. Fifey is right, cream and sweetener are for masking bad coffee.

I'm no coffee snob either. I'll drink the hell out of 7-11 coffee.
