When you add a new food, go slowly.
Did you have any sudden cravings or want to eat everything in the refrig afterward?

Wouldn't you rather have real food instead of the chemical stuff that is a low carb ice cream? Especially 3 times a week.

Just a thought.

real foods, been 3 months and getting to a point where the thought of anymore meat or veggies is making me want to vomit. I like these chemicals as a change of pace, and it rejuvinates my efforts on the diet. I am not an obese person, prob 30 lbs over weight when i started, so I can afford a few chemicals here and there.

Since you're on Rung 6, what about nuts, berries, legumes?

If your not having craving, and if you still lose, go for it. I would think I would start with twice a week, and see what happens, if you start to lose again, then you know your fine. If you don't lose, it still may not be the bars, but trail and error, thats how we learn.

I love ice cream. Atkins use to have a recipe in one of his old recipe books and it was pretty darn goon. It was just cream, vanilla, egg and splenda I think.

Atkins use to have a recipe in one of his old recipe books and it was pretty darn goon. It was just cream, vanilla, egg and splenda I think.

These are two recipes from Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution (1999).

Blueberry Ice Cream
(9 servings)

5 egg yolks
1 tbs vanilla extract
2 tbs-equivalents sugar substitute
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup unsweetened frozen blueberries, drained well
2 cups heavy cream, whipped

Place yolks, vanilla extract, sugar substitute, and water in blender. Blend at medium speed for 30 seconds. Add blueberries. Blend for 10 more seconds.

Fold yolk mixture into whipped cream. Blend lightly until you have marbled effect. Pour into freezer container. Freeze.


Vanilla Ice Cream
(1 quart or 8 servings)

5 egg yolks
1 tbs vanilla extract
2 tbs-equivalents sugar substitute
1/4 cup water
2 cups heavy cream, whipped

Place yolks, vanilla extract, sugar substitute, and water in blender. Blend at medium speed for 30 seconds.

Folk yolk mixture into whipped cream. Blend well, being careful not to break down volume of whipped cream. Empty into refrigerator tray. Freeze for 2 hours.

Even homemade ice cream is definitely not something I would have three times a week though. While cream might be yummy, there are more nutritious choices in OWL, such as berries. Try to keep in mind that one of the aims of this way of eating is to learn to make nutritious food choices, not just to cut on carbs.

For me the Breyers CarbSmart products... weren't such a smart choice after all. I suffered stomach cramps, severe gas, diarrhea and worse... I was absolutely obsessed with sweet cravings. One serving turned into a bowl of two servings worth and another... and craved more after even though I was stuffed silly... I was miserable.

Thank you, though, for posting this thread. It's responding to posts like this that helps me gain self-honesty, reaffirm my resolve to stay true to my goals, and help me to avoid repeating such experiences.

Funny. I saw this advertised the other day and almost bought it. Pre-Atkins I ate ice cream maybe twice a year. I've never had a big sweet tooth to begin with. The only reason I didn't get it was the size of the container.

I did make a mock ice cream with heavy cream and splenda that same day with the two plastic bag method. Wasn't bad. Turned out much like a soft serve. And I was able to control exactly how much I'd have - made a very small serving.
