    Halleluia... I finally found what I was looking for..

    I finally found what I was looking for... Low carb ice cream.

    It is a Safeway brand. Called Safeway SELECT Watch'n Carbs Ice Cream. They come (at least what I have seen so far) in three flavors, Vanilla Bean, Chocolate and butter pecan. Nut yet in my nuts rung, but I guess I can go with the vanilla bean for now..

    It is sweetened with Splenda, the vanilla bean has 3g net carb/half a cub and the others have 4g carbs. You can check these out on Safeway web site, just search for the keyword "watchn carb".

    I have already checked the Vanilla Bean ingredients and they look fine, not sure about the other flavors though.

    Anybody tried these before?

    That's one of the biggest things I miss from the US. I found it in Rocky Road, too.

        DITTO!!!

        When I visited my sister in the US two years ago, I went crazy over low-carb ice cream. I always had a serving at the end of lunch and dinner and I whooshed 5lbs in a week.

          We don't have low carb ice cream where I live, and I've been watching out too. Hopefully we'll get some soon!
          The difference between 'involvement' and 'commitment' is like an eggs-and-ham breakfast:
          the chicken was 'involved' - the pig was 'committed'.

            Re: Halleluia... I finally found what I was looking for..

            We get them here, but they have alot of lower fat milk ingredients, and sugar alcohols so they're fairly high carb for a small half cup serving, and you have to really watch the serving size because of the sa's I wish i could find one just sweetened with splenda.

            I usually buy the s/f fudgcicles made by Chapmans, they still ahve sa's but i know 1 bar is 1 serving..so i find it easier to control myself!

                I wish the Canadian safeways would carry it! I have to try making my own. Maybe I am lucky we don't have it, ice cream has always been my downfall

                  my mom went and bought low carb ice cream a while back, it was breyers carb smart and it said it was made with splenda and only 4carbs a serving. however, its made with milk and has nuts in it. That, and my mom has a very bad habit of sitting down with the entire tub of icecream and eating the whole thing. Even if I wasn't still on extended induction i'd probably avoid low carb ice cream mostly just because I don't trust whats in it and whats not, and i'm not the best at catching all the marketing tricks. I mean a while back i bought 'brown sugar' splenda, and got all the way home with it before i read on the BACK of the package that it was brown sugar MIXED with splenda.
