[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1447467, member: 41816"] Hi Beth, If you are going to aim for around 20g carbs a day, then you may find it useful to look at the dietdoctor website. They do a 2 week menu planner aimed at exactly that carb figure, and give portion sizes, etc, as well as a shopping list, if you want to use it. [URL]https://www.dietdoctor.com/meal-plan/get-started-challenge-week-1[/URL] Now, obviously, if you can't tolerate dairy, then you would have to do some substitutions, but even if you don't use the menu, it will give you a rough idea of portions, etc. As for substitutions for cream, you could try coconut cream. The brand Maggi do it in a powdered form (like powdered milk), which is very handy for spooning into coffees (I am drinking one as I type). Other alternatives might be soya cream, and I think I once saw an almond cream. I'm not great with whey in dairy products, but as long as I choose ones with a low whey content (butter, hard cheese, and cream) I seem to be OK. Do you know which part of the cream makes you react?
