What do you do when you are craving low fat ice cream?

[SashaWLS 412]

Just remember that low-fat ice cream is still sugar loaded ice cream. Lol.

It's true, there's no "free pass" food in this world—except Water. Take away fat, they add sugar. Take away sugar, they add chemicals. You're better off eating the real thing in smaller portions... Michael Pollan (author of The Omnivore's Dilemma) wrote a book called food Rules which has the best guideline for eating I've ever read: "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."

Actually, you should watch his video talking about how we don't really eat food anymore, we eat edible food-like substances:

Did you see they recently did a study that found a difference in the body chemistry of 'rich' people and 'poor' people? The currently theory is that poor people eat more from a can and less 'real' food which leaves more chemicals in their system. Yuck!

When I get those rare ice cream cravings I just go to McDonalds and hit the drive thru and get a cone for a buck. Back before I was banded I was going through a gallon of ice cream every two days. Now...moderation and strictly a treat.

Those cones are actually really good - and only 170 calories and 4.5 g fat.

Not something to do daily, but the occasional treat. Of course the pre-banded me couldn't eat the ice cream without fruit - in the form of 2 apple pies!

I also buy the little servings... they may cost a bit more but they are the perfect "band size" for me. I've found them in a 4 pack... works out great.

I agree with buying the little packs! So much easier to stop when you're done!
