Try stevia. It's natural (from a plant) and no medical side effects like artificial sweeteners might have. I love it in coffee.

I've tried it and sadly, not a fan. It has a very strange taste to me for some reason. Agave syrup has worked pretty well in other things like tea, but nothing is quite as good as sugar in coffee.

I used to drink black coffee way back in the day and have been slowly reducing the amount I use, hoping to get back to having it black in the next month or two.

I don't generally eat in the mornings, but I drink two cups of coffee, each with about half a teaspoon of sugar (8 calories) and a barely splash of whole milk.

I've always assumed that's so negligible calorie-wise that I am intermittently fasting as much as anyone.

Am I wrong?
