I don't even know what "heavy whipping cream" is. Over here in Oz, we don't seem to have a product like that. We do have whipping cream but it has as many carbs as milk, low fat, yada yada. The only whitening/cooling agent I have in my coffee these days is something called "pouring cream" which has 0.9g carbs per 30ml and a heap of fat. I use about 60mls per cup of coffee, and I have 2 cups, no more. Otherwise its herbal tea of one kind or another. Even having 2 cups of coffee is pushing it for me, I love coffee but alas the fat content in the cream does not like me. (Inevitably I begin feeling nauseated after the second cup. you'd think I would learn. I'm a bit slow.)in a strange twist of logic, if one can remove butter from heavy whipping cream and end up with a lower fat milk, then I can also approximate heavy whipping cream by adding butter to coffee cream. LOL
its funny but it m8ght even be better considering that the HWC producers add dextrose to their product in my neck of the woods.
It's the same thing for me when I put coconut oil in a drink. Does not settle well. I'm pretty sure it's not the fat that's doing it because I can eat a spoonful of bacon grease or shortening with no problem.... alas the fat content in the cream does not like me.

OK I'm jealous. I've had to give up bacon, and I LOVE it. Have not been game to try pork belly or pork chops lately, last time I had chops I ended up having to cut the fat offIt's the same thing for me when I put coconut oil in a drink.

I looked it up, heavy whipping cream must contain at least 36% milk fat: and whipping cream must contain at least 30% milk fat. So, those are calorie bombs for sure, but might be worth it, on an occasional basis.I don't even know what "heavy whipping cream" is. Over here in Oz, we don't seem to have a product like that.

My occasional use is daily in coffee. A cup of which is 500+ calories, but not all is from the HWC.I looked it up, heavy whipping cream must contain at least 36% milk fat: and whipping cream must contain at least 30% milk fat.

There might be another name for it in Australia, but I would venture to say that it is sold there.

No, but I had issues when I was 21. Had a nasty bout of Infectious Mononucleosis and a Haemolytic Strep infection which affected my gallbladder and other organs. I was left with a gallbladder in the shape of an hourglass and I have to be very careful about the amount of fat I consume. Interestingly I had forgotten all this until I went LCHF initially and began, after a few weeks, getting twinges again.@kyteflyer
Have you had your gallbladder removed by any chance?
I have, and I don't digest fats very well. BUT I have found a bile supplement, Ox Bile, which I take (125mg) after every fatty meal. Works very well and I have no issues eating fat now.
I had a tall boy coffee this morning, it was at Race Trac, and it was Colombian. I put 4 sugars and 4 sprits of choco something in it, OMG!My occasional use is daily in coffee. A cup of which is 500+ calories, but not all is from the HWC.
