Day One - Who Needs Support....I DO I DO I DO!

did you try powder creamer? non dairy? low fat milk is very high in sugar, that's why its not that good for us, half and half is better, with cream you only need a drop because its so heavy... I use powder creamer (I had to get used to it) with a drop of half and half. crystal light ice tea is all decaf... PSSSSS: good luck today!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you will be fine... I never liked firing someone.. one job I had I had to fire the entire staff at a location (they were stealing, lying on their time sheet's etc) boy did they yell and threaten. if you need to have security escort her out of the building. have security with you (waiting) to help her get her things and leave. That is what my husband had to do with his last firing... it was ugly!

I've always been having low fat milk - I never realised Is any powered creamer ok or does it have to be a certain one? Half and half - is that half milk half cream? (I can't remember as we don't have it here, but I could make it) No wonder those lattes that I've been making myself with low fat milk (thinking I was doing good) were not helping!!!!!!

any powder creamer is good and yes you can make half and half by mixing cream with milk... milk is not that good for you (a little bit is fine but not every day) protein shakes should be made with water. I make mine with a cup of water , ice cubes and a bit of banana.. (I also add 1tsb) of s/f ice cream to give it a hit of a shake... I have a hard time drinking protein shakes (they can make me dump)... but one I use works... they also need to be counted as calories and be low carbs and low sugar (mine has 4g carbs and 2g sugar)

I mix my protein shakes with water...NOW!!! I never used to until recently, when I thought about it. I feel so stupid that I added all those extra calories early out, and I actually prefer the taste with water - less disgusting then with milk - I also used to dump on them with milk, but never, before this point made the connection. Thanks for the heads up. The only one I can get hold of here is 100 cals (made with water) and 25 grams of protein, so that should work for me.

If you are not following a really really low carb diet, non-fat lattes are better than cream ones. You can't mix the two diets. Low carb, especially Atkins is pretty strict about what you are allowed so that you stay in ketosis. If you eat regular carbs and eat high fat you are defeating the purpose of both diets. Ruth, it is really hard to drink cream lattes and lose weight unless you are hyper vigilant about any kind of carbs, it is all scientific and I won't be able to explain it unfortunately. If by powder you mean stuff like coffee mate, isn't that full of sugar? Coffee mate is my guilty pleasure and I always thought that it was really really bad to have.
