[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2239959, member: 401801"] Espresso con panna, love it. (Basically really strong coffee with whipped cream, but in Italian it sounds more luxurious. ;)) I make my own with unsweetened cream I whip myself, and sometimes I'll put an erythritol/stevia mix in the cream. Not in the espresso. It's a treat because I don't respond well to cow dairy, but ooh, when I do have it... Yum. :) If you have no such issues, you could drink coffee as much as you like... Black, with cream (never go for skimmed, always go full fat!!!! It'll slow down any spikes and is lower carb), or you might want to google bulletproof coffee. That stuff's a revelation. So coffee's not out, not at all. I think Robinson's is okay, don't have that brand here, but from what I see on their website, their range is fine. What's not fine is loading up on fruit. They're not called nature's candy for the heck of it. Loads of sugar in there. And whether a sugar is natural or processed, doesn't really matter. (Same goes for things sweetened with honey or dates, in case you were wondering). By now you've already read the Nutritional Thingy, so I won't whack you over the head with it, but all in all... If you are reluctant to cut out carbs drastically, eat to your meter. It'll let you know what you can handle and what you can't. Good luck! Jo [/QUOTE]
