Yep. Horizon has a half gallon size. So does our local dairy.

Might be the problem right there. The plan I followed, based on what was used in the Atkins clinic, limited cream to 2 Tablespoons per day. Just limiting dairy intake down to reasonable amounts might help with weight loss.

I've tried limiting it to Atkins' suggested amounts. It makes no difference with weight loss. I increased the amount I consume when experimenting with a couple of diets with much higher ratios of fat.
I've tried so many things with no success it's not even funny, but I can't remember ever completely eliminating dairy. At least not while eating low-carb. Even when I briefly tried that Stephen Guyenet thing, I still had a little cream in my coffee every morning.
It's hard for me to believe that cream raises insulin levels, though. It doesn't make sense to me. Can't hurt to eliminate it and see what happens I suppose. |
