Coffee!!

Few real-world-dwellers will give up coffee.  No problem there!

Here are some solutions for those of you (and me) who absolutely need their coffee while still going paleo:

1. Drink it black - In my opinion, if you have good, fresh-ground coffee, you don't need creamer or sugar.

2. Try coconut milk - Some say it tastes better than the dairy most throw in there.  Try it, can't hurt.

3. Ween yourself off of the dairy and sweetener - It's not the best, but it keeps you sane.  Try cutting down the Splenda, sugar packet, or creamer a pinch and drop at a time.  In a few weeks, you may be down to black.

Most importantly, this isn't the end all, be all of your weight loss or training.  If the only sugar you throw in your gas tank is that small packet in the morning, it beats what you were doing.  Don't get hung up on the tiny things. (That being said, this is a challenge and all are encouraged to go as Paleo as possible without leaving coworkers for dead in the office.)

Bottoms Up!
