half and half

I love half n half and whipping cream in coffee.but I have to avoid the sugar in the milk cause it stops my weight loss cold.

I have been using : So delicious Dairy Free original coconut milk creamer. I find it in the natural/organic dairy case of most any large chain grocery.  The stats are;

for 1 tablespoon: Cals 10

Fat 0

carbs 7

Fiber 0

Sugar 1

protein 1

it makes the coffee very creamy and doesn't taste like coconut at All,just creamy.  They have a french vanilla flavor but it has more sugar so I stick with the original.

Is there somewhere else you could save calories on?

I love my protein coffee but if I want a plain coffee with cream, I hate skim milk, so love half and half.

Thanks Gina about the reminder of heavy cream, I used to love that preop when I was doing atkins, it made my coffee so yummy! I have been on the low carb train, I hope it doesnt make me dump.

Have you tried to fat free half and half

I am like you Seaview.  I love my half and half and I like lots of it in my coffee.  I have tried other things including the ff h&h and didn't like it.  I am trying to continue with the low carb - atkins approach which means that  I am not worried about the fats but more about the carbs and sugars.  If I start to get stuck on my weight loss then of course i will give coffee up rather than drink it w/o cream.  Hopefully the atkins approach and following the rules of the pouch will allow me some treats.

Good luck and if by chance you find something really yummie, please let me know.  :;)

Yeah I am not giving up my half and half...it is such a wonderful thing in my coffee and tea and we do not get many really yummy things in our diet so there it is! If I am good about my food in other ways I can maintain just fine...but there is always a trade off..

thanks for all of your replies now back to my coffee...hahha...SEAVIEW
