I seem to be eating the same as you .
I also love cream , the thicker the better but I think of it in a wicked kind of way . I feel real guilty when I eat it sweetened by the spoonful with strawberries .
I try to get my fats from olive oil ,flax oil daily as well as ground flax ,avocado and fats from meat .
I dont know really what to make of calories . If I have too many and I dont loose then I blame it on the calories . I have also found out that there is no virtue in being hungry ,cos hunger does not speed up weight loss .
From time to time I get really puzzled how this all works , at times it does and at times it doesnt . Even if the calories are low it still wil not guarantee a loss however with a low fat diet , you will loose if the calories are low but it does eventually all slow down .
My fat intake is around 70% on most days, I would find it difficult to eat less ,unless I am conscious of not eating oils and mayo etc.
Well thats my lot .
That pudding is truely heaven ! I love the way the chocolate mixture gets all thick and sticky . In Europe there is a type of cream called creme fraiche , it is just the business!! far nicer than whipping cream and is very easy to make if you'd like to try .
Take 1 pint whipping cream
add 2 tbl fresh buttermilk culture and stir well
cover and leave at room temperature till it gets thick ,about 24-48 hours .
you can eat it plain , slightly soured or add AS to make it into a special treat .
I agree that there must be something in CKD ,cos when ever I slow down , I have a carb binge and it sems to kick start the whole process.
