Double cream is bae

(Tracey M) #1

Does anyone else use a LOT of double cream…? (I’m in the UK, where apparently we’re lucky with our fatty double cream!) :thinking:

I have three to four cups of tea a day with double cream in, to replace milk. At first I didn’t much like it, now I’m ALL over it. We’re probably talking around 100mls a day of double cream. At least.

I’m essentially ‘snacking’ on double cream (I say ‘snacking’, as I’m not having tea because I’m hungry, it’s more my routine at work to have one every couple of hours). Occasionally, I’m not much fancying whatever I brought to work for lunch, as the cream tea has filled me up.

There’s no reason I can’t maintain this creamy new habit, right? Or is there? Any nutritional warnings from people who know better than me? The cream teas have replaced any other snacking I used to do, on peanut butter or mini cheeses for example.

:yum:

I have done before, but not now. No reason, just doing things differently.

My goal for the keto way of life is to lose weight so now I am fat adapted I have cut right back on my cream. I used to eat like you, love double cream in my coffee, got a cream whipper and used to squirt in into my mouth from the fridge as a snack. But now I try and remove added fat and just get fat from the food I eat.

Once I have lost my weight I will increase my cream consumption again.

:slight_smile: I’m not on this for primarily weight loss, however I am actually losing around a pound of fat a week, so my body mustn’t mind the cream teas :metal:

PS, I’m not a young’un :joy: Nor am I suggesting you aren’t :kissing_heart:

I won’t use the term as my friend is part Danish and told me what it means there…

Cream teas are divine. :slightly_smiling_face: I see no reason you should give them up!

:sunglasses: Ha! Well said, Tracey. Since you’re in the UK then British Aerospace Engineering, but in truth I’ve seen the term on Facebook. Sigh… As a pronoun, not an adjective, but I guess language is a living thing and changing all the time.

I’m 58, and when I was young, the 1960s and 70s, we said “bad,” meaning something was good, as in, “That’s bad…”

Ah, well in that case, double cream is soooooo bad :sunglasses:

I didn’t want to Google it, in case it was something I’d rather didn’t come up in my search history. Thanks, though, for being really helpful :slight_smile:
