I used to use heavy cream everyday - in soups, shakes, ice cream and coffee. I estimated just over a cup a day - one serving is a two tablespoons. I was staying within my carb limits but one cup of cream is 800 calories!!

I serverely cut back on cream and the following week lost 5 lbs!! Now I just add a splash in my shakes or coffee.

Ladybelle - I loan my books to a friend - how much cream cheese is too much.
