Hi

I am hoping to go low carb next week (again) and I like the unsweetened almond milk but the last time I used it I seemed to stall - is this possible?

I was having 200mls a day?

thanks

    Almonds stall me as well. It could be something that doesn't completely agree with your body and you should use it in moderation while losing weight or try to skip it. I've started skipping it. It helps to avoid things that stall you. It's less frustrating. Sorry!

    I make a pudding with chia seeds and some sweeteners and other stuf using unsweetened almond milk, I've been using the chia seeds to up my fiber intake for the last couple months. 8 oz almond milk a day (~225 mL) and it has not stalled me at all.

    I haven't ever heard of almond milk being part of causing a stall for anyone but who knows, there are lots of foods that different people react to in different ways.

    Are you lactose intolerant or anything? That would help people make suggestions to know if that's the case.

    Have you tried coconut milk? I don't know the carb count but unsweetened should be very high either.

    I liked almond better than the unsweetened coconut milk but just to have more space in the frig I stopped using either. The almond was lower calories by a bit.

    I use coconut milk in cooking / recipes. Other than that, the only milk type stuff i consume is HWC in my coffee...when i'm on that kick. Right now i'm on black.
