hubby just told me Costa have started offering coconut milk as a alternative milk in all drinks. I don't use milk or cream in coffee or tea so have no idea if it's better carb wise or not - just thought I'd share
Since I began LCHF I often feel slightly queasy. I'm not sure if the kind of fat makes a difference. I'm hoping my liver will adapt, but I often feel my various organs would much prefer me simply to starve to death.I had one today and it tasted lovely but I have felt sick ever since. Dont know if it's a coincidence or whether it was the drink!
Worth knowing about coconut milk - I went in Costa in Ludlow today and luckily had read the thread as would have been t3mpted by coconut milk but doing intermittent fasting so could only have double cream...so askedfor an Americano and queried double cream @vailability and surprise no fuss they provided a jug of double cream for same cost as Americano so my advice is ask at your Costa! It was a life saver today as was feeling hungry and didn’t want to break my fast!
Thanks for the tip. Please does anyone else have ideas for places to get tea/coffee with double cream? I am consuming very few carbs, so this really matters to me. I don't like black tea or coffee, so have been obliged to carry cream with me on outings with my daughter, which inevitably take us into a teashop at least twice a day. I have bought some UHT single cream cartons at great expense on the internet, but they are so small it takes 3 or 4 to colour my drink satisfactorily. Before that I tried carrying a small container of fresh double cream with me. Well, you know what you get when you shake double cream about for long enough? I know it's very on-trend, but I haven't yet taken to putting butter in my hot drinks!
Very interesting! I had assumed that it was the shaking around in my rucsac as I walked that caused the cream to start transforming into butter, but you find the temperature is critical? When you are out for the day, does your flask of cream get shaken a lot, or does it mostly glide along in a limousine?? I don't want to make the effort to track down a flask and then find that my cream still won't keep in it.I found a very handy flask from Lakeland that I use for carrying cream around if out for the whole day - keeps cool for 12 hour

You don't have a limousine? (Neither do I, actually. Walking is so much healthier, and pleasanter.)I think it’s the temperature. I walk about a lot, so the flask does get shaken.
What’s a limousine?
We need an emoji for "shock horror!" or "the b*****ds!"I went into a local Coffee #1 which was advertising coconut milk as an alternative. When I collected it I asked to see te container. It was rice milk with coconut flavouring. And with double the carbs of skimmed milk it did me no good.
Yes it has milk which has carbs.. skinny milk has more carbs than full fat. Depending on size it has between 9g and 20g of carbs from the milk content.Can anyone tell me if a skinny latte at Costa is o.k to drink. Does it contain carbs. Does it raise BG levels.
Thanks
@mazza 2 I frequently drive up and down the motorway armed with a pot of double cream. I just order the generic black coffee and add my own cream. It actually makes them taste nice...Thanks, too bad, it was my favourite. Oh well, I'll have to stick with coffee and cream unless someone can advise an alternative.
I often feel the same. I liken it to my body receiving something other than the carbs it's been used to and going "***?", (why this fat?) and then dealing with it. It comes on soon after eating but isn't long lasting. I make it into a positive because I feel better that way.Since I began LCHF I often feel slightly queasy.
