cream and sugar???

[superjane]

i had a tiny bowl of squirty cream, but it is 96% real dairy cream, but theres sugar in it too.
the thing is i checked the amount of carbs and sugar in milk and theres less in the squirty cream i used. so i skipped the milk and had the cream.

is this ok??

Sugar, sugar, sugar
What you need to find out is where did the sugar come from. Was it added sugar. Added sugar will be on the ingredient list: The list will contains cream, water, sugar. If it does say sugar the product is OUT. We do not eat stuff with added sugar.

Some sugar is natural - so when you look at the nutrient list it may have sugar listed with fiber and proteins and stuff - but now it is natural sugar and that is OK.

Milk does not have added sugar. But it has a lot of natural sugar. We can have milk on Rung 2 of OWL.

Normally cream has no added sugar - I whip my own - It is great stuff. But store bought premade stuff often has sugar added to it. And those creams are OUT.

So did you make the right choice? Well depends.... right?

Since you're on OWL Rung 1, you cannot have milk anyway. During OWL Rung 1 you should be adding more vegetables, not diary.

Re: cream and sugar???

No, just move on and have your veggies.

You can still have cream. Just stick to the Induction limits and sweeten it with a legal sweetener.

By the way, check out this link: Atkins Diet Bulletin Board Newsletter

There's a recipe there for "chocolate blobs", which are okay for Induction. However, don't eat all four servings in one day, because the recipe uses quite a bit of cocoa.
