Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2004Why skim or 1% milk with coffee? It's not logical.
The South Beach Diet tells us to have out coffee with only skim or 1% milk. This doesn't seem logical to me. I'd use less whole milk in my coffee to get the same whitening power as the 1% that I use, so wouldn't the two be comparable? > The South Beach Diet tells us to have out coffee with only skim or 1% > milk.

I use half & half or whipping cream, and it takes a tiny amount to whiten my coffee with NO CARBS. Love it love it love it. -- already dead to me now *** >I use half & half or whipping cream, and it takes a tiny amount to whiten my >coffee with NO CARBS. Love it love it love it. I wouldn't say no carbs. But much lower (especially the cream), yes.

If you're avoiding fats, try Land O' Lakes fat free half and half. It's great. Also a great substitute for whole milk in recipes. > If you're avoiding fats, try Land O' Lakes fat free half and half. > > It's great. Also a great substitute for whole milk in recipes.

Let's see. http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts-001-02s001c.html half and half has 10 carbs per cup http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts-001-02s001x.html whole milk has 11 carbs per cup http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts-001-02s05iw.html fat free half and half has 22 carbs per cup  Signaturejmk in NC >>> If you're avoiding fats, try Land O' Lakes fat free half and half. >>> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts-001-02s05iw.html > fat free half and half has 22 carbs per cup Oops, posted too soon -- of course fat free half and half has 143 calories per cup and regular half and half has 315. So one way you get twice the carbs and the other way you get more than twice the calories.

Thanks for the heads-up. I went to carb-watching from fat-watching. I'll try heavy cream - I imagine I need a lot less. |
