Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / March 2004Sugar-free OK?
I'm getting my 'old' cravings for the SF ice cream and it's sitting there in my fridge so I decided I needed it last night plus today. I ate about 1 cup both times and stopped. I think maybe I'll not get this again as I ate it several times at night . Is it a good food? WHY is it good OR bad ? I have had this argument with myself so many times. I LOVE ice cream ! Should I eat this? Should I chuck it? Should I eat it ? Get rid of it? OK everyone KNOWS what I'm saying here. Please tell me your oppinions! glo > I'm getting my 'old' cravings for the SF ice cream and it's sitting > there in my fridge so I decided I needed it last night plus today.

Ice cream is one of my triggers so I only get very small packages of it.

Yes I can imagine. I have done that. Ummmmm I wasnt skinny by no means though. :) KUDOS for throwing out the temptation. I'm not to sure how some of you feel about sugar free jello. But I will cut up an apple into cubes and pour SF jello over it and have that as a snack if I get hungry say after 7:30pm or so. Through the day I will have one with some FF cottage cheese makes an excellent dessert.

So I rarely eat it because I can't just eat 1/2 cup. If you can't control yourself - get it out of the house. Sugar free ice cream is not bad or good. If you go over your calories because you eat too much of it, then you need to keep it out of the house.

Thanks for the post. glo > A serving of ice cream is technically 1/2 cup. I never eat that little. So > I rarely eat it because I can't just eat 1/2 cup. Really? I always eat that little. I'm after the mouth feel, the taste, not a half hour of face-stuffing. I use a pyrex custard cup and scoop out about two scoops (maybe a bit more if the scoop wasn't full.) I'm pretty sure we have ice cream in the house. We've got three freezers in the house and I often buy what's on sale. We don't eat it often but we do have it occasionally. I sometimes buy "Light" versions of premium brands but just as often I buy the premium kind. I have half a cup sometimes when I particularly want it. I think I've had ice cream twice in the past month. My real problem food these days are mixed nuts. My husband likes to have a container of those lying around and I will rush by and scoop out a handful and start craving the salt and go for another handful and then it leads to me realizing I'm hungry and I can get a quick bite if I just eat another handful... it's a case of a convenient, tasty, high calorie food standing in between me and a better choice. I really hate having an open can of mixed nuts on my counter. Dally, the only one trying to lose fat in a family of 5 "Dally" <dally@myself.com> wrote in message > Really? I always eat that little.

But I'm pretty sure it's not just 1/2 cup, at least when I'm doing the scooping... But I'm not talking about a half hour of face stuffing either (thanks alot). I only eat ice cream about once a week - and I eat as much as I want, which is usually just the one larg-ish serving. >My real problem food these days are mixed nuts.

If I'm going to have some I weigh out 28g (1 oz) into a little pyrex cup and eat them :-) Chris I got into a real binge from the SF ice cream . The reason I'm telling everyone is because if I ever ask about this SF ice cream again PLEASE remember to say , "glo you STOP that !! Do NOT eat that SF STUFF !!" It does not work for me! I'm back to healthy eating after two crappy days. Thanks for all the inputs here!!!!!! GREAT HELPS!!!! glo >I'm getting my 'old' cravings for the SF ice cream and it's sitting >there in my fridge so I decided I needed it last night plus today. I ate [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > >glo As long as you can afford the calories for the day, go ahead and have some. For that matter, you can have regular ice cream if you account for the calories. You need to pay attention to how much you're eating each day, not just have some "ok" foods and some "not ok" foods. You can get fat eating "ok" foods if you eat enough of them, and you can fit "not ok" foods into a healthy diet. Chris I do have ONLY sugar free plus low fat ice cream but I seem to want it often. It only takes a few days to get the half gallon gone! I just love it very much and I'm taking advice from Paul here. I'll get it out of my house and buy no more. Also Beverly was saying that to buy a cone is good. One dip while at the store. I KNOW you are correct. I just hated to admit that my one and only 'wrong' food needs to go! Wrong for me as it gets me eating badly. Thanks guys!! I'm on my way to throw it in the garbage and it ain't fun. It's this tuff luv like someone said about facing the scale.

I'm late on the bandwagon here...but....good job on the chucking of the ice cream. That'd be my suggestion. I love ice cream too. It's a trigger food for me. Fat free, sugar free, it doesn't matter. Ice cream of any variety is arguably neither good nor bad, but if it has control over you, then it IS bad and needs to be avoided. Even if you can fit a serving into your calorie limit for the day, if you can't stop at one serving, it doesn't matter. Ditch it. I have a big problem with open containers of ice cream. If there's a half gallon, I can leave it alone until it's been dipped into, but after that it's fair game, and then I'm constantly in it until it's gone, even if it's the grossest kind in the world. Tiny individual containers help a LOT though. I've had Smart Ones sundae cups (1 cup/150 calories each container) in the freezer for a month now. I had one when I was really craving some ice cream, but I haven't even opened the others. They taste good but it's just not as much fun to dip into them, which is great for those of us who are grazers. Best of luck, Alison (who fortunately loves steamed broccoli as much as ice cream and now chooses to keep that around instead) Alison, Thanks MUCH for this great input. I guess that you DO understnd ! I'm better now that I have NO ice cream here at all. I'm thinking that IF I really crave it I just might try ONE Healthy choice in the cup. Do they come just ONE? I can't bring anymore than one into my home at once. glo Count me as one of the "real food" type people. We rarely have ice cream in the house, but I do have ice cream "out" perhaps twice a year. When I have it, I want the real thing. The "sugar free and fat free" stuff just doesn't work for me at all.
