I like many other people have been trying for longer than I care to remember to loose weight. The Doctor keeps telling me to do something about and (and give up smoking) and although I do try, I just can't stick to it. My girlfriend is trying the new Fat Burning Furnace diet which she reckons is working really well and she has lost 5lbs in only a week - has anyone around here tried it and has it worked for you? <em>Hi Merrilee, Glad your girlfriend is doing well. Never heard of that diet. I took out the links due to my spam policy. Thanks! Amy</em> Some really good info here thanks.

I know several products all vary in nutritional value depending on the brand, so it's a good idea to read the labels of every product you are considering buying. (I'm not great with all the scientific jargon or technical stuff.) I realize the above formula is not an exact science by any means. When it was taught to me several years ago, it was just to show that not everything on the labels are exact and that we should never underestimate our choices/portions sizes or we could be undermining our efforts. It has helped me avoid exceeding my carb counts (maybe it's even helped me get less than I thought I was getting?) so I'm hoping it might be of some help to others in the same way. I do have to ask though,would the stabilizers, etc, assuming they weren't already added into the counts, have calories? I was under the impression that calories can only come from 3 sources - protein, fat and carbohydrate. Would love to hear your thoughts on this. Hi Oz,

They are not exactly 9,4 and 4. You can read about it on a USDA website: http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/Data/Classics/ah74.pdf but it's really complicated. Then, most creams have added stabilizers and other junk. Maybe they should also be factored into the total calorie count you give? Examples of the 9, 4, 4 being rounded: the USDA nutrition database gives 0.31 g protein/T, 5.55 g fat/T and 0.42 g carb/T for heavy whipping cream for a total 52 calories. Using rounded values of 4, 9, 4 the total calories would be 52.87. Similarly, the protein, fat and carb for light cream are 0.41 g, 2.90 g and 0.55 g respectively giving 29.94 calories total for 1T. but their database gives 29 calories. I know it's because the numbers are rounded Organic Valley Cream has a pasteurized (not ultra-pasteurized) heavy whipping cream which is just cream. This product has 0.37 g carb/tablespoon (according to the company) but this isn't on the label ie, carb again = 0. It has 6 g fat/T which should = 54 calories, but the label says there are 50 calories/T.
