Breyer's Carb Smart ice cream

Now, THIS is a great product--much better than their "no sugar added" line
(with its reduced fat, it just lacked creaminess)--REALLY like ice cream.
Just got it down here (South Florida) this week (I think). Bring on the
Walden Farms chocolate sauce....

Went to the website but they don't say what stores carry it. I live Florida.
What supermarket did you find it in?

Thanks,
Nancy

Sounds great. This is one of the first products I've seen where the Sugar
Alcohols are listed. I hope to try some when I get to phase ??
OK! I'm doing induction (Starting my second week). My cravings have all but
gone UNTIL I saw this web site. Now I gotta ask "Which phase do I have to
wait for before I can try this?"

Thanks.

Nancy, I got it in a Publix in suburban Ft. Lauderdale area; this Monday
just past was the first day I ever noticed it. I'm sure it was new.

Forgot to mention--like the added fiber, too.

I looked at the list of ingredients on their website. "Dietary Fiber
3g"? How in the world does dietary fiber get into vanilla ice-cream?
Cream? Eggs? Sweeteners? Must be from the vanilla pod .

The problem with this "carb smart" ice cream as with all "diet" ice creams
is portion size.

Measure out half a cup of ice cream and you'll see what I mean. It's tiny.

Most people's eyeballed serving will be twice this, meaning a lot more
carbs, calories and for people with sugar alcohol intolerances, intestinal
distress.

Its a "problem" with anything. Portion size has always been screwed up.
Manufactured products on the shelves have teensy portion sizes, while fast
food restaruaunts are massive.

Measure out half a cup of ice cream and you'll see what I mean. It's tiny.

I've looked at the serving size in regular ice creams. It's the same, 1/2
cup.

Mostly true. But this ice cream has half the sugar alcohols most other diet
ice creams have. So even if a person doubles the portions, they're only
getting 6g, instead of 12 or 24, plus other carbs, if any (Blue Bunny no
sugar added Bunny Tracks has 20g for instance, of which only 7 are SA, and
160 cals per half cup).

In any case, it is a great little product for those of us who can indulge.

Revek,

Well, people can do what they want, but I've gotten into more trouble eating
ce cream than with any other food because it is so easy to go over the
portion sizes. I wasn't saying people shouldn't eat it, I was just saying
they need to be really aware about portion size. A half a cup of ice cream
is about 1/3 of what most of us scoop out when we're in an ice cream eating
mood.

Why can't you just scoop it into a measuring cup, and tell
yourself that packing it in, like the do at the shops, is okay,
but having it protrude over the top is not?
