Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2004coffee mate
anyone know if coffee mate is low-carb? Edible oil product...it's not sweetened...but I wanted to check for sure before I head to the store... Thankyou :) Heather "Heather Rose" > anyone know if coffee mate is low-carb? Edible oil product...it's not > sweetened...but I wanted to check for sure before I head to the store... Coffe Mate has corn syrup solids as the first ingredient. It is not a good product for a low carb diet. > "Heather Rose" >> anyone know if coffee mate is low-carb?

SignatureMichelle Levin http://www.mindspring.com/~lunachick I have only 3 flaws. My first flaw is thinking that I only have 3 flaws. It isn't the carb count, it's the ingredients. While I don't think one serving would hurt, the sugar can cause problems for some of us...makes me want more. BTW, they have a half and half product out now that would be better, same carbs, different ingredients. > > anyone know if coffee mate is low-carb?

I just like the flavor that it adds. And for special treats, I add some carb countdown chocolate milk. This is partly to compensate for the fact that I've never had the priviledge of paying the big bucks for the starbucks treats. Thanks guys....it's 1.7 carbs per teaspoon, and that's all I need in my coffee... I went out and bought it, it's not perfect but it's do- able. I need to study tonight anyway...:) I don't think it will be a problem, but if it does trigger cravings I'll stop using it for sure. I finally am at the point where I don't crave anything and am no longer fixated on food :) Heather > Thanks guys....it's 1.7 carbs per teaspoon, and that's all I need in my > coffee... [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Heather Pre-LC I used those awful flavored creamers with tons of sugar in them and I used way more than a teaspoon, or I used milk. Now I use half & half and whatever artificial sweetener we have around, and if I want flavor I add some powdered cinnamon. Now those flavored creamers taste way too sweet to me, and milk is way too watery. SignatureMichelle Levin http://www.mindspring.com/~lunachick I have only 3 flaws.

Coffee mate is one of the worst products on the market. It is nothing but glucose, TRANS FATS, and artificial flavors. Ignorance is an excuse, but if anyone who reads this ever uses the product again, that person deserves to die of coronary artery disease. Use 40% heavy cream. It tastes better too. > Thankyou > :) > Heather --Bryan > anyone know if coffee mate is low-carb? Edible oil product...it's not > sweetened...but I wanted to check for sure before I head to the store... The first main ingredient is corn syrup solids. People think it isn't sweetened, but it does add quite a bit of sweetness, although not enough for people who usually add sugar as well. The second main ingredient is partially hydrogenated vegetable oil -- the type of man-made artificially saturated fat that was used in research (instead of naturally saturated fats) to "prove" that saturated fat was bad. So it's loaded with sugar and harmful trans-fats. The rest is flavoring and anti-caking ingredients. Buy some cream, fer chrissakes. It tastes better, and it's better for you. Signaturejamie (jamiemck@newsguy.com) "There's a seeker born every minute." >Buy some cream, fer chrissakes. It tastes better, and it's better for >you. And some Da Vinci or Torani SF syrups. They can sweeten and add interesting flavors to your coffee (I like Gingerbread) Yvonne |
