Protein coffee that tastes like coffee

​

Hi! Can you please recommend your best tasting protein coffee?

I like the Ufit 25 Iced Latte but its out of stock often. I'd also like to switch to decaf if possible.

I've tried the My Protein Iced Latte and can't taste the coffee. It tastes like biscuits to me 🤷‍♀️ Premier Protein Cafe' Latte is drinkable but not great. I also tied adding cokd brew to a vanilla protein shake but that wasn't to my taste either. So before I waste any more money please help a gal out. Or maybe I should just give up...😂

Maintained for 18 months

I haven’t posted in a while as I stopped Mounjaro in August 2025, mainly due to cost as I had planned to stay on after hitting my goal weight.

Fast forward a year and I’m maintaining +/- 5lbs goal. I weigh myself once each week to keep myself in check and if I hit my buffer zone I lower calories. I don’t know how I haven’t managed this all of my life. I think I can now identify the difference between the food noise and actual hunger but I’m also eating healthier and of course, being lighter means I can move more and enjoy my life.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s hard some days but there is no way in hell I’m putting that weight back on!

I hope this helps for those thinking of stopping. I look for the positive stories rather than the negative “she’ll put it all back on blah blah”.

Good luck and happy health 😊

UK/NHS Just got my first appointment through, but I've lost alot of weight in the interim using glp1 - will I get kicked off the list?!

My starting BMI was 36, went onto weight management programme a few years ago and asked to be put onto the waiting list for bariatric.

In the interim period, I started using Mounjaro and lost 3st11 (22kg) making my new BMI 29.6.

I am from a high risk ethnicity, so I know that affects the "allowed" BMI but I'm getting mixed results when I look up whether they are likely to accept me for bariatric - some say no, others say yes because they use the original BMI at the start of my weight management referral.

Obviously Mounjaro is insanely expensive so I can't keep this up forever, so bariatric was always my preferred option, but I don't know if they will accept me or not?

Still losing weight in maintenance

Hi all, I'm finding stopping weight loss during maintenance more challenging than I thought it would be. If you had ever told me in the past that I would be irritated to see weight loss on a scale, I would have laughed at you!

I used custom dose measures at times due to responding strongly to the medication. I know that can be divisive, and I don't count calories (and won't) I'm ok counting macros though. I plan on finding a stable maintenance dose and remaining on it for the foreseeable. I'm currently using up a stock pile of 15mg pens which will last roughly til March 2027, then I will need to find a mantiance provider.

Some stats:

38F 172cm

SW 265.5lb/18.9st March 2025

GW 155lb/11st June 2026

CW 147.8/10.5st today

I never went above 8.75mg and have slowly titrated down by doing a month of 7.5mg and a month of 6.25mg. This week I've started 5mg and I'm definitely feeling hungrier but not ravenously so.

I think my ADHD meds (Elvanse) and the heat are making it more challenging for me to eat at the moment. I do feel like overall I have been eating more on maintenance than before, and had more energy to do things which has been great. I have been noticing mood and energy shifts as I come down on MJ, and I've needed to lower my Elvanse a little as it's feeling too much.

I don't look bad at this weight, I just feel comfortable and good at the weight I had achieved and got some lovely clothing which fit when I reached my 160/155lb goal that now is begining to hang off me, I don't want to lose my remaining curves.

I also want to begin going to the gym, at the moment I do a lot in the garden as my main exercise. I have issues with hypermobilty, CFS and dysautonomia which can make exercise and heat challenging but I'm finding good tools to adapt around this.

I'm honestly wondering how to eat enough for the gym to gain strength and stamina when I'm struggling to get enough to eat at this baseline. My diet is really good, generally Mediterranean and Middle eastern type cuisine; a lot of fresh cooked veg, lean protein, and some rice, flat breads and occasional potatoes.

Has anyone else had similar issues and any tips to help?

🍎 Do you live in the UK and do some or all of the grocery shopping for your household? I am conducting a short survey on food purchasing preferences as part of my master’s thesis, and I would be very grateful for your participation.

The survey is completely anonymous and takes around 10 minutes to complete. Your responses would make a valuable contribution to my research.
