yeah - no sugar in coffee - if you DRINK your sugar, it'll cause dumping VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY fast. as for the cream - here's the official line from my doc: as long as you don't end up drinking 1/2 cup of the stuff every day [by drinking cup after cup of coffee or tea], it's fine.
if you DO drink tea or coffee all day long [like me!!!!] get used to drinking it black!!!!!! i've worked out a compromise - i have 2-3 cups of English Breakfast tea in the AM, with about 2 tsp of milk in each, and then THAT'S IT!!! i drink tea without milk for the rest of the day [unless i've had a particularly tough day and need some chai, then i add a tablespoon of milk to it]
oh. and there's another school of thought - from the nurse who ran the program - who said that MILK isn't a bad thing if you drink coffee all day - it can give you a much-needed protein boost. but that's MILK, not cream.
she used to take a large cup of dunkin donuts coffee and mix vanilla protein powder into it every single morning. it worked for her!!!
