Cream has 0.42 net carbs per tbsp. Quote:
If that's so, then butter can't be zero carbs either... confused | Butter is made by churning butterfat. The amount of lactose (milk sugar) left in it is tiny. 1 tbsp of butter has 0.00875 net carbs.
__________________ "The truth is that temptation lurks everywhere, unless you deny yourself a social and working life and the attendant pleasures of eating out. 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!"
