Half N Half vs. Heavy Cream

[jmommy123]

Ok on my 5th day of induction and have a question regarding coffee creamer. Before Atkins I used Fat Free Half n Half. I know I cannot use it anymore because it has cornstarch. However, I have tried heavy cream and cannot stomach it. It leaves a horrible slimy film on the top of my coffee. Can I use original half and half? Please help???

Hey jmommy,

I've used Half n' Half all throughout extended induction and have seen great results. Recently, however, I switched to Light Cream (something we have here in Canada), though, because it's a little lighter on the bowels and has less grams of carbs per mL [I'm a heavy creamer].

(Half n' Half here has 1g for 15 mL, whereas Light Cream has 1g for 30 mL.)

Re: Half N Half vs. Heavy Cream

Half and half is not allowed during Induction, because it's half milk. Milk is only allowed from OWL Rung 2 on.
