Half & Half

[Mommy2Three]

I was just curious if anyone uses this instead of heavy whipping cream in their coffee?

[americanjunkie]

coffee's a major issue for me and I've given h&h and splenda a lot of thought...I've been drinking two medium cups a day with half a splenda and four tablespoons of h/h...all told they add up to about six grams carbs for both cups and it hasn't shut me down yet...although I haven't weighed in yet(tomorrow's the big day ) I Know from measurements that I'm down substantially...

I think, as with other tweaks, it's entirely subjective, and that if your metabolism isn't highly resistant you should be ok...heavy cream would save two grams a day and if it were available at the places I get my coffee(I drive a limousine so I'm all around town here) I'd use that...but the h&h seems to be ok...

good luck

I drink 1-3 cups/day and I use 1 half and half..i dont think it's legal for induction though...but I don't think my coffee has stalled me.

I would think if you want to do it properly, try adding h&h on the dairy rung of OWL.

I've used half & half the entire time I've been on Atkins (both times) and so far, so good. I even used it when I was maintaining. I just like the taste. If cream is available in coffee shops, I use that, because it tastes even better. Go with what tastes good to you....

I have used both half and half and just regular whipping cream. I usually have about two to three cups of java in the morning. Since I don't sweeten it, the cream or half n half is all I have to cut it a bit. ( I brew it stroooong!! )

Hasn't been an issue for me so far. Started mid-January, lost 27 lbs. so far.
I have noticed an issue when I try any of the supposed low carb dairy drinks. There is one out that is supposed to be a low carb chocolate milk. It stalls me big time. Catch you later.

You are not suppose to use half and half until OWL 2 (Dairy). I am past that rung and will use it if nothing else is available but I prefer whipping cream.
