If I eat an ice-cream everyday, but stay under the calorie limit, will it still work?

@MamaBirdBoss the body shaming isn't necessary. You can debunk the idea that a person has to eat "clean" without putting down someone else's body.![img]](http://i.imgur.com/V4WpniF.gif/img])

Ive eaten ice cream every day, or cake or cookies. As long as your eating at a deficit, you'll lose weight.
Ive read so many ridiculous comments in this thread . You will not look flabby from eating ice cream. You will look toned if you do the things necessary, having a serving of ice cream daily won't hurt. Meet your macros , enjoy treats in moderation.
The comment about malnutrition made me laugh . Why would someone be malnourished if they ate a serving of ice cream ? Come on now.....
Actions speak louder then words though~ ive eaten all the treats i love in moderation all through my weight loss and still do, do i look flabby or malnourished? ? No !!

I guess you skipped right over all of the success stories in order to post this bit of misinformation.wow lots of comments dont know if you'll see this but WOW really people eat icecream everyday is ok, not at all. I think that the first step to losing weight is acceptance, accept that you have to change your way of eating to maintain your weight loss. Junk food is junk why waste your time trying to lose weight if you keep putting junk in your body. Once in a while is understandable but it shouldn't be just about calorie count but the food itself. veggies vs processed food with ingredients you cant even recognize! I say no! your only setting yourself up for failure if you continue to eat bad food!

I don't personally believe in bad foods or in fearing what I don't understand. There are foods that have less nutrients and they shouldn't make up the bulk of a person's diet, but that doesn't make them bad. I try for balance in all things, and that includes creating a way of eating that I can maintain forever. I've been in maintenance for more than 2 years now and still happy with my lifestyle. I'd be a lot more likely to fail if I set unreasonable expectations for myself. It's a pretty large (and incorrect) assumption that if a person still works a small amount of ice cream into their diet every day that they haven't really changed the way they eat.0 -

Why, exactly, does having ice cream most likely mean you won't maintain a healthy balance of nutrients?You may lose weight, but you will most likely not have a healthy body otherwise. While a caloric deficit will help you shed pounds, you also need to maintain a healthy balance of nutrients to keep your heart and other muscles functioning properly.
Well first think what all that sugar does to your body, The minute it kicks in all that sugar it cant process it and turns it into fat. There are alternative like blended frowzn bananas with choc chips. Very yummy. Dairy with sugar at that level is not healthy. bottom line. You want to be fit eat fit.
No. Frozen bananas and chocolate chips have similar calorie and sugar counts to regular ice cream. Most people process sugar just fine. And I'm at sub-20% body fat despite my habit of eating one serving of ice cream per day, so it's pretty clear that it doesn't turn straight into fat.

You can eat sugar.....it does not go directly to fat.....your body CAN process sugar.... sugar is sugar...banana,choc chips, ice cream..Diary sugar is fine...(unless a medical reason).
I would hate to go through life never eating sugar again.

so if you eat ice cream daily that makes one "unhealthy", really? Then why is my blood work nearly perfect and I somehow manage to maintain 13 to 15% body fat?
You really need to go back to the drawing board and think about how you are viewing food. there are no "Junk" foods, just junk diets.
what matters is that ones micro and macro needs are being met.0 -

Well, I have accepted that and made changes to include ice-cream into my diet. I felt too guilty to have it regularly before.wow lots of comments dont know if you'll see this but WOW really people eat icecream everyday is ok, not at all.

I have lost plenty of weight 'the proper way' few years ago. I had to take a break from that diet after a while as I was not ready to refuse some foods for the rest of my life. You can guess how that ended – I gained. I have began this WL journey with something very close to Paleo. It was alright but I'd have to take a break from that at some point as well. Also I was eating plenty of eggs, meat, fish, veggies and fruits and failing to meet a 1200 calorie goal by few hundreds on most days. My previous experience tells me that eating under 1000 for a prolonged amount of time is a generally bad idea. So I threw in some ice-cream and now both meet my calorie goals and enjoy life. I keep losing weight and I don't feel deprived. In fact, I feel slightly spoiled and over-indulging. Something tells me my chances to maintain weight I currently lose have skyrocketed once I brought some 'evil' treats into my diet.0 -

OK, this made me laugh out loud. Thanks for that!
Add me to those who love ice cream...and chocolate...and wine.....and haven't eliminated any of these "evils" from my diet.
I guess I'm doomed.

Oh god. More demonization of food groups. IMO that is setting yourself up for failure.
How about you just eat at a deficit and not worry about the BIG BAD FOODS coming to get you.DeguelloTex wrote: »

Pssst! You know frozen bananas and chocolate chips HAS SUGAR.
Dairy with sugar at that level (what is the heck does that even mean??) is not healthy? Says who??? Link to anything to support that stuff you keep saying.

Moderation, variation, and no unnecessary elimination!
Succinct, to the point, and most importantly, so completely and utterly true... slowclap.jpg
OP add me to the list of people that continue to enjoy things like ice cream and wine while losing weight and improving my health markers and overall fitness levels.
