One Extra Cup of Sugar-Free Coffee Can Lead to Weight Loss

Have you ever been handed a steaming mug of coffee, taken one sip, and immediately reached for calorie-laden creamers to mask the bitter undertones?

If so, you’re not alone.

According to Researchco, approximately 43% of Canadians add creamers to their coffee to bring sweetness to an otherwise bitter brew. However, what many don’t realize is just how many hidden calories, fats, and sugars they’re pouring into their daily cup of joe.

But here’s the catch: According to Eat This, Not That!, most people pour freely without measuring. A common free-pour is closer to four tablespoons (1/4 cup)—meaning you’re consuming four times the calories and sugar. Over time, this can add up to 15 pounds of weight gain in a single year, and that’s before any additional sweeteners like sugar or flavored syrups are added!

How to Enjoy Coffee Without the Extra Calories

If you love your daily caffeine fix but want to reduce unnecessary calorie intake, there’s a simple solution: Upgrade your coffee choice.

A high-quality coffee bean, roasted to highlight natural tasting notes, can create a smoother, more enjoyable coffee experience—without the need for excessive cream and sugar.
