Wouldn’t it be nice if there was an ice cream to lose weight? As summer approaches, it seems natural to want to enjoy an ice cream cone or a cone of your favorite ice cream. However, if you are trying to lose weight, it is difficult. Most diets suggest that you cut out all junk food … and that includes ice cream. Which is a huge bummer.
But the truth is, you can still eat dessert and lose weight; you just have to make smart decisions about the desserts you choose to eat.
For example, you can look for frozen dessert brands that are low in calories, fat, or sugar. You may think this alters the taste, but it’s actually not as bad as you might think. If you follow the Weight Watchers plan, they have a series of great tasting desserts for just 2 points. Virtually everyone can find room in their diet for a 2-point award.
There is also the Skinny Cow brand. Skinny Cow treats can be amazing. The most popular are usually sandwiches, which are low in calories and fat, but taste great. They also have truffle bars – frozen cream on a stick with chocolate drizzled on top. Personally, I don’t like those kinds of desserts, but I heard they are pretty good. The newest offering is single-serving cream cups in flavors like dulce de leche and chocolate fudge brownie. I like the individual servings of ice cream because it instantly controls the portions. In fact, all Skinny cow products come in single-serving packages, which means you don’t have to worry about measuring things or accidentally overeating.
A novelty on the market is Protein Freeze, which is a type of protein powder that is mixed and frozen; it tastes just like ice cream, but with the nutritional value of a protein powder. This is actually a dessert that can help you lose weight. The nutrition statistics are so good that you don’t even have to feel guilty.
Don’t listen to people who tell you that you can eat ice cream and lose weight. You can. You just need to incorporate your ice cream into a healthy diet.
