Why not just leave it out completely? Good coffee won't even need any extra sweetness, and if you add cream there's even less need for it.

You can't. Well you do get the Selati and Canderel versions that contain Sucralose as well as other fillers.
I make my own pure sucralose liquid. Bought the sucralose powder from a chemicals company and I mix it with filtered water for my own liquid sweetener.

I tried. I really really did. I just can't do it.
I understand to cut it out completely is best. But I simply cannot do unsweetened coffee. :\
But I am pretty proud of myself that I pretty much stopped all other sweet fixes like the lemon curds, protein pancakes, cheesecakes and the likes.
Fair enough. But I swear, some (South American) coffee tastes like chocolate cake when you've been off additive sugar for a while.

Wife does pure black coffee or tea with absolute no problem. She actually can't stand to even take a sip from my slightly sweetened cup at times.
I've made peace with the fact that our taste buds differ to a degree. Same with her not liking spicy food and it forcing me to make 2 batches of stews/curries nowadays.
But yeah. I have cut down drastically on my sweet tooth in the last year and gave up on alternatives. Once in a while I will have some real cake or ice cream on re-feed/carb up days (for exercise purposes).

I do pure black coffee all day. Only time I add Xylitol is for my "nightcap" coffee where I have xylitol and cream with it.

Found this in windhoek. Pretty nice. 2.4g per 100ml
A little bit of milk makes coffee plenty sweet enough for me.
Maybe its something you need to persist with? Give it 2 weeks.
The reason I say this is that I personally believe we need to wean ourselves off expecting everything to taste sweet or salty. We don't eat many bitter things.

Watch the carbs in honey though. Little is fine.
Wife found these yesterday and we had them tonight as part of Spaghetti Bolognese - was awesome! I came off a 24hr fast so those 8 carbs (less fibre) are my sole carbs for the day, apart from the tomato paste in the mince.

Sheesh, R40/pack ouch!
But Sharitaki is just as expensive I suppose, I'll stick to my sauteed cabbage strips

Yeah, but between wife and I, that is only R20 a head for the noodles and there was a half portion that went into a fridge tupperware, so not bad when shared
