The label says no trans fat. No trigs. It says on the nutrition facts label no polys or monos. But in the ingredients fine print partially hydrogenated soy bean oil. Is this where the 1.5% total fat is coming from and should this be a concern?
The bigger problem with Coffee Mate (and just about everything else on the shelves nowadays) is the use of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS)
HFCS is a common sweetner used in just about everything from softdrinks, to bread, even things like peanut butter because it’s cheaper than sugar. Very very very cheap.
There has been some studies that show that HFCS interferes with the body’s ability to detect when it is full, causing us to eat more than we should – often consuming more HFCS as a consequence. Many believe there is at least an indirect link between HFCS and the rise of type 2 diabetes in adults.
If possible, try to avoid food and drinks with HFCS. Replace the coffee mate with some 2% or 1% milk, for instance. If you want it sweeter, use real sugar, not one of those phoney chemical replacements. A bit of milk fat and a few spoons of sugar will do a lot less damage to your figure and health than an equal amount of HFCS…
Again, read the labels. You’ll be shocked at how many products use HFCS – even those that you wouldn’t think would need any sweetners in the first place will often contain some. Buying prepared organic food is a good way to avoid HFCS, even if they use cane sugar or cane syrup.
Finally, a bit of exercise wouldn’t hurt. Even a brisk 20 minute walk after lunch will help with your digestion, metabolism, energy level, and waistline.

Do you work out? Your metabolism could be changing so less activity would definitely contribute to you gaining weight. It’s always been very hard for me to gain weight, but as soon as I got my current desk job out of college, I’ve gained at least 15 lbs and it’s been hard for me to lose it. It’s because I’m less active and my metabolism has slowed. Get into some cardio classes, walking/running and weight lifting. That’s a good place to start.

Try thinking of anything you are doing or eating differently. If you are taking medication. I started gaining weight drastically when I started taking some medication. It was scary. Also age does that to your metabolism.

The creamer has nothing to do with it.
I recently started using the same brand liquid flavored creamers and I am losing weight right now.

I’m sorry, but fat DOES make you fat! Having said that, don’t worry about small amounts like 1.5. Only be concerned with 10 and over. Just start walking for 30 min every morning or night. You’ll see a change in about two weeks.
