    Cream Cheese?

    Cream Cheese is on the approved foods list for the induction phase. However, the Cream Cheese that I have seen all have 2g of sugar. Isn't this a no-no?

    What brand is that? and make sure it isn't a low fat one..because the low fat ones have all the sugar..

    I have a 8 ounce block of Philadelphia Original Cream cheese here It has 1g carb... Sugars are <1g. Protein 2g

      Philadelphia and Lucerne and some other off brands... but they're in the little tubs. It's not the low fat... just regular.

        I just happen to have a tub of the Philadelphia one.. I don't know why its different between a tub and a block.. But I do see the sugar carbs on this tub (it was my daughters before Atkins for her bagels)

        I am sure someone else will have some knowledge on it.. I would by the blocks from now on that say Original. I am not sure what the difference is in Regular and Original though.. Strange isn't it.

          Check the serving size as well...some brands have a serving set as 1 tablespoon while others have it as 2 tablespoons. All the ones I've seen that said 2g of carbs are listed as 2g per 2tblsp while the ones that have 1g are listed as a 1tblsp serving.

              I believe Philidelphia yields the lowest at 2 total carbs per 2 tablespoons or 1 ounce. Most of the others yield 2 carbohydrates, so I always recommend the former for my recipes unless another brand of equal "carb value" can be found.

                check out your local 'store brand' cream cheese too.
                I found that Waitrose soft cheese has half the carbs of Philly!!
                Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
                Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!



                Check out our Low Carb Recipes website and add to it!!

                  The lower fat Kraft Neufchatel Cheese actually has less than 1 gram of carb per ounce. I like it better because it's softer.
