 Re: Cream Cheese - Salmon | |
Well, it's not only about carbs. One tablespoon of soy flour also has 2 net carbs, and so do 2 large baby carrots. Always check the ingredients.
This is what the cream cheese you're talking about contains: Quote: |
Pasteurized Nonfat Milk, and Milkfat, Whey, Smoked Salmon, Whey Protein Concentrate, Salt, Cheese Culture, Monosodium Glutamate, Sugar, Stabilizers (Xanthan Gum, and or Carob Bean Gum, and or Guar Gum), Natural Smoke Flavor, Sorbic Acid, As A Preservative Oleoresin Paprika, (Color) Sodium Nitrite, Red 40, Vitamin A Palmitate.
| It has milk/whey, which are only "legal" in OWL Rung 2. Plus, it has sugar. This stuff is just processed nastiness, imo. I wouldn't eat it.

I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.
Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
