ok...don't call me silly names for this...but I had been doubling this recipe so I could have a full glass of yumminess...
but i found that my weight loss stalled! So I added up the calories in my double shake and it came to around 740 calories!!!
Now, I know that we don't count calories, but, when you eat/drink that many calories before bed every night...not a good thing!! lol
So I was talking to Owensmath and she suggested that I use unsweetened almond milk instead of the heavy cream!! So I tried it with everything else the same except I add a glass 3/4 full of crushed ice and it was just as delicious and hasn't stalled my weight loss!!!
So I'm back in the yumminess and have lost weight to boot!! Yippee!!!! ![Grin ;D](https://fattoskinny.net/Smileys/default/grin.gif)
Hi MommaB!

Sounds like owensmath's suggestion led you to a tasty alternative for this drink!

I'll try it out next time I make a milkshake.
I try not to eat or drink ANYTHING (except plain water) 3 hours before bedtime.
On occasion (and that's seldom), I'll have a SF Jello with 0 carb WC... But that's it!
And that, I'll no less than about 90 minutes before bedtime.
I found if I eat near bedtime, I don't sleep as as well. And my
weight loss suffers, too!
50-50 has sugar alcohols.
By compounding the effect of them on slowing
weight loss PLUS consuming them too close to bedtime,
I'm not at all surprised that you stalled-out.
I believe the calories had little (if anything) to do with your stall-out!
