    Starbucks

    I just wanted to make sure that this was okay. I went today for the first time since starting induction. I got a Latte w/heavy whipping cream and 3 splenda's. Do you think that's okay?? I hope so.

    Strictly speaking you should avoid caffeine.

    But other then that it's hard to say, any idea how much heavy cream they used in place of the normal milk?

      I have no idea but probably won't do it again, at least for a long while.

        LOL, I work at Starbucks. If you told them H. whip, then they use only that and expresso--no milk (that is why they charge extra for it!) I agree about avoiding caff, but I have many low carb customers and that is exactly what they order!

              I always brought a little bit of my own heavy whipping cream with me. Then I ordered an iced americano (Iced espresso shots) and added my own. You can also have them add it and tell them when to stop. Also-be careful how many splenda you put in it and make sure you count those. I would only put two in my venti.

                Oh......STARBUCKS!!! I've been avoiding them like the plauge. How can you work there disneydiva!! lol. I'd be drinking EVERYTHING.

                Back to the original post, how did the caffeine/Splenda affect you? Did you notice more cravings on that day?

                  You guys gave me great ideas with what is almost not taboo at Starbuck's. Where I work, that is our second home...I work with a lady that goes there about 3 or 4 times a day. Hehehe, I'm not joking, and she doesn't even drink caffeine!

                  It is very difficult for me to not have coffee, I have 4 kids, I'm in school full time and I work 60+ hours a week. Coffee is my lifesaver. I'm still doing induction, and I haven't given up the coffee. *I'm bad, huh?*
                  I'm curious if what Faith asked about is really hurting?
                  Faith, did you feel different after drinking the coffee? I'm wondering if coffee really does stall, I know DANDR states to give up caffeine, but that is one thing that I will crash without.

                  I'm with meena-beena Faith, did you have any cravings?
