The company Silk makes an excellent none dairy milk called “next milk”. It’s only 80cal per 250ml. It might be an option to explore. I’ve tried just about every non dairy milk and this one is by far the best.
Yeah, non-dairy milk alternatives I did try. In away they are good as they don’t trigger the reaction I get with milk. But on the other hand since they don’t do that I can just as well drink my coffee black I think (and save these 80kcal altogether)
Hey OP, not to discourage making lifestyle changes or anything but 80 calories isn't all that much. If you can manage to moderate your intake of milk, I think you'll find it much more sustainable to lose weight and keep it off. It's all about finding ways to change your relationship with food in a way that's sustainable to you. If milk in your coffee is something that you enjoy, is there perhaps somewhere else you could cut that 80 calories? Don't give up on all of the small pleasures in your life, sometimes those small things mean more than we realize and it can undermine your efforts to make long term adjustments
Yes, 80 kcal are not much, but many small amounts sum up quickly in my experience, and 80kcal in liquid calories are much less satisfying than more solid stuff on my plate.
