Agreed, which is why I am ultra careful when having "cream" on anything in cafes and restaurants.
Reduced fat or full fat cream is the real question, though??I don't believe I can trust cream to actually be proper cream any longer...

Forget Waitrose. Try Costa or Starbucks. I don't usually have a problem, although Starbucks like to charge extra. Probably got bills to pay; or notI went into a Waitrose coffee shop today.
I ordered a coffee and asked for cream
" We don't serve cream"
Ok, then can I have full fat milk please
"We don't serve full fat milk "
"We can only serve healthy options these are - skimmed milk, semi skimmed milk and soy. We are not allowed to serve anything else with our hot drinks. "
Is it any wonder the incidence of diabetes grows by the minute !
I often get asked if I want milk with my black coffee.
Well at least they didn't do what happened to me in a cafe. I ordered a BLACK coffee and was asked by the waiter if I wanted milk or cream. I pointed out that black meant black, no milk or cream. He said he had to bring a jug of one or the other as it was policy.
Yes. You can't always tell.Don't assume the soya milk is benign either. Last time I had a decaf with soya in a cafe, I was as high as a kite for hours. Must have been the sweetened kind
Where do you get calories?I find that a sweeping statement. My Endocrinologist advised me against the high fat part of the LCHF diet as I am slim. Low carbohydrates is fine.
Not creamy tea. No. Oh dear.I have 100% skimmed milk in my tea because that's my personal preference. I can't abide creamy tea. I don't see any rise in my levels after drinking a mug full of tea with this milk.
Some of the spray can stuff is quite high carbs and only has a passing resemblence to real cream.Agreed, which is why I am ultra careful when having "cream" on anything in cafes and restaurants.
Probably. Logic doesn't gave much to do with the standard diet advice.I have just been on official Diabetes UK site and they advocate low fat yogs as a treat, do they not know it has more sugar than high fat?!
Not necessarily you can get low fat yogurts that are also low sugarI have just been on official Diabetes UK site and they advocate low fat yogs as a treat, do they not know it has more sugar than high fat?!
I never have cream so don't know if it is proper cream or not but when offered cream I think we should at the least expect it to be the real stuffReduced fat or full fat cream is the real question, though??I don't believe I can trust cream to actually be proper cream any longer...

We're on Aldi Creme Fraiche which is lower than anything else I can findNot necessarily you can get low fat yogurts that are also low sugar
And forget these! Appalling coffee and "foreign" Try Pret. The coffee is organic and at Christmas they do offer cream in your coffee and chocolate it it's that which "floats your boat:!Forget Waitrose. Try Costa or Starbucks. I don't usually have a problem, although Starbucks like to charge extra. Probably got bills to pay; or not
Trouble is the interiors of their cafes! lolM&S do good coffee. No quibble about cream either. Although I prefer double, I think theirs is single. X
I think your endo needs to do a bit more research as fat doesn't make you fat or clog the arteries. It's the liver that's the main producer and controller of cholesterol and the carbs have a large part to play in this.I find that a sweeping statement.
