"Eat All The Sweets" - A 30 Day Tale of Love & Happiness

LolBroScience

Chocolove. Maybe I will do the same. That's kind of an investment right there what is that like $25 worth? Maybe that would hold me accountable...

Hahahaha.. well.. it should've been more like $40. However, the 6 in the middle were not ringing up correctly so the cashier just gave me each of them for like $2.00

That's a challenge I could probably join easily!

Today I had a serving of Sweet Freedom vanilla ice cream, and a milk shake made with sugar free jello pudding, milk, ricotta and protein powder... Does it count? Unfortunately my choice of sweets is limited because I had wisdom teeth removed 3 days ago and I still can't chew very well.

As long as it wasn't Cauliflower milk shake

Please enlighten me! I see that this topic is at "food and nutrition", but I cannot believe that this could be serious... If so, I so want a diet based on sweets and icecream...

Why wouldn't it be serious? The OP did the 30 Day Gelato Cleanse in which he incorporated ice cream daily. He's doing another 30 day thing but with broader choice selection (sweets in general).

The point is that you can include things like cookies, ice cream, etc into your daily meals and as long as you keep to your calorie deficit, you will lose weight.

And if you are watching your macros/micros, you can also incorporate these things and still meet those goals as well.

You could do that, but I'm not sure it'd been in the spirit of this partqular challenge, which (as far as I know) isn't about having a diet based on sweets and ice cream.


Anywho, I'm in. My sweet treats probably won't be as interesting as BBQ potato chip chocolate bars but I'm a simple girl.
Will report back later tonight.

In!
Today my poison was Zuppa Inglese. No pics because I'm not really into foodporn and I didn't know about the challenge, but feel free to google it and drool. No cauliflower was involved, I swear.

This one is definitely going to be a challenge in terms of accurate logging. I feel like I can get away with using a calorie estimate based off a commercially available dessert once or twice a week, but 30 days of estimating is going to be a stretch.

Based on? No.

Including? Absolutely.

I would suggesting reading through the OP first off. I'd never recommend a diet solely consisting of sweets as you'd lack many essential micro and macronutrients. Now, fitting in a particular portion while still meeting those goals is a totally separate issue.

Stick with items that have labels, or items that you've made at home. Items that do not have labels, I tend to limit myself as well.

Sounds like a great excuse to learn to bake.


Although, baking is pretty much pandora's box.

During the ice cream challenge I started a new exercise program, my eating was all over the place because I was playing with calorie amounts, and I still lost 3-4 lbs. I am so in for this. I just wish you would have posted earlier, I could have picked up something yummy at the farmer's market.

Yay! I was regretting my lack of participation in the ice cream cleanse.

Day 1: Two M&M cookies - baked with my son today. 2 out of 5 stars.

Helllll no. There's too many awesome things that I routinely avoid. Are you going to eat 3-week old Hostess cupcakes from a highway rest-stop vending machine, or are you going to get a nice fresh Ron Bennington from Molly's?

Sounds like a great excuse to learn to bake.

I already do. And it is. I was on a streak back in January/February where I was baking 2-3 times/week. I was giving away most of what I was making, so I'd only have 2-3 servings of something instead of the whole thing. The problem was, the more recipes I looked at, the more I wanted to try, and then the more I looked at, and the more I wanted to try...

I was basically a pig today LOL.

Joining in to follow and watch you all!

I already include all things in moderation to my "diet". And ice cream is one of my top favs!

Those type of desserts are not even worth it IMO ahaha.... so I'd opt for something more fresh; or something unique I hadn't tried before.

i'm so IN...

Day 1 - A sour cream donut rolled in cinnamon sugar (still warm, they were baked off 10 mins before my shift ended so naturally i had to get one to scarf down on the way home) and two rootbeer float flavored marshmallows. Deeeeelicious!
