CarbSmart Icecream

[heather25]

:help I was wondering what you all thought of CarbSmart Icecream. It is really good I bought Chocalate. I think it makes me stall though. Was wondering if you all stalled and if I should steer clear of it. I think of it as a treat every now an then an better than other ones but maybe I should find something else for a treat. Any thing on the subject will help me out a lot. Thanks. Heather

Most people wait until OWL to add that kind of stuff back into their diet because it falls under the Dairy Rung of OWL, along with cottage cheese, yogurt, and a larger cream amount.

But to answer your question, I haven't tried it.

tried it before...gave me terrible stomach problems and stalled my weight loss...

[heather25]

thanks I think I will stay away from it then. An maybe when I am close to my goal add it in a little. But thanks for all the help. I thought it might be stalling me. Heather

The low-carb ice creams made me SO crave sugar-- and I'm TOTALLY not a sugarcraver! They're uber evil!

You're talking about the Breyer's CarbSmart ice cream, right? Well, let me tell you, that is how I learned everyone was right about reading labels and being careful. Last time I was on Atkins, unsmart me had a bad craving during TOM and decided to buy some of the chocolate. Boy, did it taste good! And I found out why.....if you read the ingredients label on the side, the third/fourth ingredient is good ol' fructose! Breyers has been contacted by many low carbers and was threatened with a lawsuit for false advertising and they said they would change the recipe ASAP and apologized. Well, they changed the strawberry and the other ones, but for some reason they have not done the chocolate. I just stay away because it made me feen sugar so bad, I don't trust Breyer's anymore or any ice cream. (except Atkins--but I don't eat that til OWL).

Thanks for all the replies. The first time I did Atkins they didn't have alot of this on the market and I lost better weight to. I thought I could eat this stuff in moderation but thinking no cause it does make me crave sugar. Will stay clear of it. Thanks for all the help everyone. Heather
