I'm sorry, but it's really not. Atkins is also about breaking your addictions to thse sweet, carby foods. Low carb ice cream is a occasional treat for very advanced stages of atkins, and even then you may want to avoid it.

The weight you lost may be more water and less fat because of the ice cream. I hope that's not the case! Next week your weight loss may really slow if you continue eating the ice cream.

Congrats on your loss, but I have to agree with pineapple. Check out the stickies for a food list or better yet, go buy and read the book. I got my book at Walmart and it was cheap (can't remember the price though) or people tell of getting them in second hand stores. It's the most important tool we can have on this way of life.
