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!!!!
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!
