Does anyone else eat a pint (or more) of Arctic Zero or Halo Top per day?

Seems like eating a pint of ice cream daily,should maybe just maybe be the little habits that need to be changed for success. Just a thought.4

Or realize that a pint of Halo Top or Arctic Zero is probably more than half the calories of a pint of Ben & Jerrys so you pick your battles, log it, and still stay within your calorie goal.
Having said that, I'm a bit afraid to eat a full pint at one time of either because of the sugar alcohol so I try for only a few tablespoons at a time.3 -

Actually most of halo top pints are only a quarter of the calories of a pint of Ben and Jerrys!!

No way. Too expensive.
I like rainbow sherbet and when Harris Teeter has their brand half gallon on sale for $1.97 I'll pick 2 up. It's 120 calories for half a cup which isn't too bad. I usually have 2 servings and it's light and fruity and yummy especially in the summer.0 -

I had Halo Top for the first time today (chocolate). I thought it had a strange texture, but fine taste. I think I'll stick to my Dreyers Slow Churned (110 calories for 63 grams), since I like both the taste and the texture (not sure if there is a better word for this? consistency?). I don't think I'll buy Halo Top again. I bought another flavor, caramel something, that I'll try. I'm disappointed because I read so many great reviews on here. And yes, it is expensive.1

I went on a Halo Top kick for a while and found out the hard way that it really doesn't agree with me.
I make and eat the protein ice cream recipe that's posted in the volume eaters thread every day now.1 -
I like it. BUT do you really need to eat a pint a day? What about banana ice cream...you know mash a banana and freeze it? I also do protein ice cream: protein powder, banana, almond milk, freeze...so good and way cheaper than artic zero.
The equivalent amount of banana "nice cream" would have more calories than halo top, and less protein.
OP for a while there I would have 4-5 pints of halo top per week. I was doing excellent on my weight loss goals at the time.
Decided to cut back just because I found myself eating it every day "just because I could" and not because I was hungry. So now I'm down to 2 pints a week. Sometimes I have a whole pint, sometimes I spread it out and occasionally I have more than one pint in a sitting.
If you work your calories around it and stay in a deficit, you should continue to lose weight. But if you plan to eat in excess of your maintenance calories, no matter what it is you are eating, then you will gain weight.0 -
I got them as part of a sampling program. If you want them I'll gladly send them along.dreamer182 wrote: »

I would like to add a dessert that satisfies my sweet tooth and I love ice-cream but I have a dairy sensitivity. Does anyone eat these types of ice-cream/faux-ice cream each day, and if so, what are your results? Have you gained weight or do you continue to lose? I don't plan to change anything else in my daily intake or exercise. Please share your experience- it would be helpful! Thanks!
Well, if you're currently in maintenance, you'll definitely gain weight if you eat a pint a day but don't cut back elsewhere.
Why would eating a pint of Arctic Zero (at 150-300 calories a pint) mean you'll definitely gain weight?
If you eat above maintenance you gain weight.
Why would eating that put someone above maintenance unless they eat it in addition to a normal days food? And why would they eat it in addition to the calorie goal and think it isnt going to cause weight gain?
I think I read the original question differently. I assumed it was being eaten within the normal calorie goal.
No, OP said they weren't going to change anything else about their food or exercise except for adding a lot of ice cream. That's why I said if you added the ice cream and didn't cut back elsewhere, you'd gain.1 -

It's been forever since I've had Ben & Jerrys. I could polish off a pint of heath bar crunch in no time!0 -
I would have two issues- I'd probably have some digestive issues from the sugar alcohol if I ate more than a half pint, and cost.
It's a sometimes treat for me, and I only eat a half pint in a day.0 -
So, for the past week or so I've been eating more like a pint to a pint-and-a-half a day and still maintaining. Arctic Zero is pretty good and I'm still within my macros/nutrition for the day. No disagreeable stomach, and its really tasty.0

I wish I could afford to eat a pint of Halo Top or Enlightened a day, but I can't. I've decided to limit these ice creams to either around my TOM or maybe 1-3 pints a month. I am for sure once I find Halo Top's newer pints trying Pancakes & Waffles, Candy Bar, & Cinnamon Roll. Still want to find Enlightened's Chocolate Peanut Butter & Bananas Foster.
For right now I'm just going to make my own protein ice cream concoctions & moderate Edy's Slow Churned & Turkey Hill.

Banana ice cream depending on the ingredients could have more calories than both Halo Top & Enlightened & just eating a few servings of Slow Churned Edy's.0 -

This is the last Ben & Jerry's flavor I demolished in one sitting. They need to bring it back!0 -

I bet it was so pretty with all the sprinkles.
I'm making my way through a pint of Simple Truth Low Cow Lemon Cake which I kind of like better than the Halo Top version.0 -

@KeithWhiteJr Yes, that is what I was saying

I did for a while but it just doesn't satisfy me anymore... too artificial tasting I guess. But if it fits in your calorie goal and doesn't make you sick, nothing wrong with that.0

@ashbabe25 Would you send me the info on how to get these coupons? I could really use them (love this stuff!)0

@pielattes1 message me with your address and I'll send them to you.0
