Can't imagine a meal without bread? I never eat bread with my meals, unless
I'm having a sandwich. We never ate it in our house.

As for the Cool Whip, that's not a very healthy thing to be eating.

Julie, Sugar-Free Cool Whip doesn't have the partially hydrogenated oils
that the other Cool Whips have. While it still has the same amount of carbs
as the others, at least it doesn't have the trans fats.

It doesn't? I just assumed it would. I stand corrected then.

Hi Robert,

Glad to hear you are adjusting to life as a diabetic. Cool whip mixed with
sugar free jello is pretty tasty too! And of course my own favorite is
sugar free vanilla ice cream with diet root beer to make a diabetic root
beer float. I too have an addictive craving for good bread. But if you
can manage to curb it, you will see a difference in your BG's. I happen
to really enjoy WASA crackers. They are high in fiber and very low in
carbs. If you get the one called sourdough rye, they are quite tasty with
almost anything you want to put on them.

Think about using Reddi Whip whip instead - it has less calories than
sugar free Cool Whip, and *no* carbs at all!

Why would you guys want to eat anything that from the other side of
the Atlantic sounds so appallingly artificial? Whip some cream, for
heaven's sake...

Here in the Colonies, Whipping cream is 32% butterfat, heavy cream 36%.
Double cream 52%(?) is available at specialty markets, but pricey. I like
heavy cream. It makes a nice Alfredo sauce, too. ;-)

i was thinking of buying one of thos canisters with the gas cartidges where
u just pour in the cream and it does it same as the cans..

the advantage is i could add splenda to it or cocco poweder/splenda etc for
flavors..tho i like plain cream mostly.

How long do the cans keep?

I buy cartons of heavy cream and whip as needed. I can whip a small
amount of cream, as needed, with my mixer or even by hand (the latter
gives me the illusion of exercise counteracting the calories in the
cream!). And, yes, I do often add a drop of vanilla extract or a small
amount of Splenda, depending on what I'm using it for.

In my house they are gone within about two weeks. I don't buy them very
often but husband and daughter love the stuff!

the servers been down a day or so so my reply is late...

the redi whip cans dont last too much longer then the cartons of cream..

if you mean the one where you buy a gas catridge and whip your own...i dunno
i know a coffee shop that uses it..

I used my own canister for a number of years and then got lazy and went
back to Pffftt. I want to get back to using my canister.

PP

I keep looking for a good one like at cooks.com etc..all cost so dang
much..lol..its like tank o gas for car or a whip cream maker...lol.plus if
the company goes under where can u get the gas canisters?..i bet they all
use thier own gas...

plus i think well i can get "pffft" ..hehehe...for dirt cheap on sale and
one can will last me up to 2 months or so...

i think as long as reddi whip makes the real cream version with minimun
carbs that never budges my meter i might as well stick with it..

ReddiWip *is* whipped cream! Cream is the primary ingredient. It comes
in a pressurized container so that no preparation is needed. I don't
see why you think that is "appallingly artificial".

It's symptomatic of how artificial your WOL is that you go for
something whose "primary ingredient" is cream rather than the real
thing; where you choose something pressurised and in sophisticated
packaging rather than a simple tub; and where you can't apparently
take the time to use a hand whisk to whip the stuff yourself. The
environmental costs are huge - and this is just the tip of the
iceberg, I'm sure. No wonder the US has the highest energy cost per
capita in the world.
