Re: Low Carb Ice cream?

I've had the Edy's Butter Pecan and it's yummy. I've promised myself to keep it to 1 serving on a Saturday night only -- so far I've kept to it!

Yeah, I am sure you can put some strawberry flavoring in their instead of vanilla. I'm sure you could use any 'safe' flavoring (i.e. dulce de leche syrup, carb free maple syrup, etc). I've heard some cocoa works too for chocolate....

I was so excited to find the Breyer's Carb Control Ice Cream in my store. I grabbed it to read the label. 14 carbs! 4 net carbs but with a ton of sugar alcohols... So sad, I wanted to make a milkshake

Re: Low Carb Ice cream?

I've eaten low carb ice cream throughout my whole atkins experience and it's never stalled me as long as i added those carbs into my 20g limit for the day. When you get out of induction, you can use the ice cream to make low carb mudslides or bushwackers lol...My husband invented those after I had my wisdom teeth removed lol

Re: Low Carb Ice cream?

Low carb ice cream (breyers vanilla) didn't stall my weight loss, but it did upset my stomach. I was better off with the low carb fudge bars from Breyers. I find that making your own low carb ice cream is better.

Re: Low Carb Ice cream?

Myself personally being on induction like you,,,,I wouldnt do it. You need to train yourself not to need or want them for the time being. Prior ro atkins I would find myself having "a taste for" ice cream or candy and I am loving being able to pass it up and have control. If you are one of those people that craves sweets....don't do it till later on is my opinion. Ice cream isnt a necessity of life. But you could do whipped cream in a can if you had a taste for something cold and creamy.

My only problem with them is portion control and the inability to not eat one every day when they are in the house.
