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.... http://www.breyers.com/products/prod...rt&pageCount=1 |

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 "Kingo Gondo" wrote in message ...

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. |

Thanks, Nancy 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. -- Jenny 168.5/137 Low Carb 9/1998 - 8/2001 and 11/10/02 - Now http://www.geocities.com/jenny_the_bean How to calculate your need for protein * How much people really lose each month * Water Weight Gain & Loss * The "Two Gram Cure" for Hunger Cravings * Characteristics of Successful Dieters * Indispensible Low Carb Treats * Should You Count that Low Impact Carb? * Curing Ketobreath * Exercise Starting from Zero * NEW!

... The problem with this "carb smart" ice cream as with all "diet" ice creams is portion size. 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. Most people's eyeballed serving will be twice this, meaning a lot more carbs, calories and for people with sugar alcohol intolerances, intestinal distress. 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 |

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. -- Jenny 168.5/137 Low Carb 9/1998 - 8/2001 and 11/10/02 - Now http://www.geocities.com/jenny_the_bean How to calculate your need for protein * How much people really lose each month * Water Weight Gain & Loss * The "Two Gram Cure" for Hunger Cravings * Characteristics of Successful Dieters * Indispensible Low Carb Treats * Should You Count that Low Impact Carb? * Curing Ketobreath * Exercise Starting from Zero * NEW!

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? -- Jean B., 12 miles west of Boston, Massachusetts, USA |
