Coffee Creamers

[weewee048]

Hi Everyone,
I will be starting on Atkins tomorrow and would love to have a list of what kind of creamer I can use in my coffee.
Also what do they mean by heavy cream and whipping cream.
Thanks :wave:

Heavy cream and whipping cream is one in the same, just depends on how your store markets it.

Buy either and use THAT in your coffee.

Tasty good.

I use two tablespoons in my one cup (or two!) a day.

:agree: Yes...
Heavy cream has the least amount of carbs in it.........not to mention it tastes soooooooo much better. :yum:

If you are used to lattes or cappucino, heavy cream is too thick to work well, so I take about a tbsp of cream and dilute it in about 4 oz of hot water, and then it will froth easily...

I don't like the taste of heavy cream in my coffee, so I use a splash of half and half. What ever you do, don't make my mistake and use Coffeemate (which I did for the first two months of this WOE). It may be low in carbs but it contains the evil high fructose corn syrup.

Heavy cream, definitely. For awhile, I was doing light cream in my coffee, and I still do sometimes because it's cheaper, but now that I'm down to 1 or 2 cups a day, I spend the money on heavy cream instead. Better for me, and tastes heavenly.

Plus, when I need to use the rest of the container quickly before it expires, I am "forced" to make whipped cream! :lol:

Absolutely right!!

I was stuck at the same weight for forever until I finally cut out the coffeemate stuff and then began losing again.

You should try a little heavy cream plus some DaVinci's sugarfree hazelnut syrup. You can buy it at Walmart. Heavenly!

Thanks everybody, I will be buying the heavy cream.

Looks like a carb per Tbsp. I'd go with heavy cream, but then, that's me.

Read the list of ingredients... vile icky disgusting stuff.

I use the canned chocolate Atkins shake mix in my coffee. It's delicious and the whole 11 oz can contains only 1 gram of carbs--so the carb count in the cup of coffee is quit

I use an oz or two of the canned chocolate Atkins shake mix in my coffee. It's delicious and the whole 11 oz can contains only 1 carb. I highly recommend it. :yum:

It's a chemical soup containing hydrogenated junk (transfats) and usually corn syrup solids which stall me.
