My hubby isn't on Atkins or LC and is very supportive of me with this way of life...but will not succumb to it.. lol :) So when he has his little snacks at night, I've found the perfect solution.

Decaf Coffee with Sugar Free Hazelnut Creamer. the creamer has 2 carbs per tablespoon...but that's alot of creamer!! lol I don't use that much.. and I found that if you put a little of the Land O Lakes Sugar Free Heavy Whipped Topping on top (ZERO Carbs) you have a very nice "mock" cappacuino! YUMMY :)

I know we're supposed to limit all that coffee intake..but when you are just craving something...this hits the spot!!

I am in the same boat and I LOVE my cup of coffee at night while he enjoys his dessert. Last night he ate the flan that I made for him and I decided to have some yummy coffee with splenda, splash of half 'n half and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice and it was the best! I know it sounds weird but it really made me think I was having something special and my DH said it smelled like I was eating pumpkin pie - hehe!
So, I know how you feel and hey....it works! :thup:

Thx for the yummy ideas. I was wondering what I could have that would make me feel like I'm having a super yummy treat but was still in bounds.

The flavored Davinci syrups are great for that. They have a lot of different flavors that do the trick in a decaf "dessert" drink.

Someone around here mentioned diet root beer with heavy cream. I tried it last week and it is just like a root beer float. Yummy!

cutiefrog, I like my coffee, too. A bit of whipped cream really dresses it up!

a splash of heavy cream in Diet Rite's tangerine soda is yummy too... like an orange sherbet float!

Yeah, I've never done so well with the cutting back on coffee thing. ;)
