Yep -- whipped cream can be a killer because it is hard to eat just a little of it. I save it for special treats, when I fear that otherwise I might eat something with tons of carbs in it. I brought blueberries and whipped cream to a New Year's Eve party this year because I knew I was going to want something special and that seemed to be the lesser of all the possible evils.

Whippped cream stalls my weight loss, and if I eat enough it even causes me to gain a little weight, but at least it does not create cravings, so I can easily go back to more healthy eating when I get over the whipped cream splurge. If I splurge on something high in carbs, I have to deal with all the cravings afterwards.
