Question about Cream??
I read on this site about someone having a tunny ache, and I can't remember who, but someone suggested heavy cream. Well, I was having a terrible bout of heartburn/upset stomach and I drank 3 ounces of cream and it did help me to feel better. I was a little upset to see that when I put it in a fitday, it was 4 carbs for those 3 ounces!!!! I know, I am freaking over every little carb and even with that my total carbs for the day are 17. This is day #6 of induction and so far so good!!!!

Re: Question about Cream??
Fitday tells me that 3 ounces of heavy cream is 2 carbs. Half and HAlf 3 ounces is 4 carbs.

Re: Question about Cream??
Heavy cream averages about 0.5 to 1 net carb per tablespoon. There are 2 tablespoons in 1 fluid ounce. So 3 ounces will have 6 tablespoons.
Be careful about the cream. There are 2 acceptable amounts listed for Induction: under beverages the limit is 2-3 tablespoons; under the Special Category Foods, it is limited to 3 ounces with the caution that the Special Category foods have been known to hinder weight loss and may need to be avoided.

Re: Question about Cream??
Next time dilute an ounce of cream with some water and see if that works. It may only take a little bit of the cream to soothe your tummy.
I'd try the ginger tea or peppermint tea as well.Comment

Re: Question about Cream??
when I have doubts about the products that exist on fitday I add my own. I have the cream and the creme fraiche I eat there. I just copy the nutrition values. Since Im not american I have no idea of how similar the products are or arent. Maybe you can do the same with your cream too.
