In the past 30 days I lost 3 lbs, gained moderation, MFP friends and happiness. Thanks LOLBroScience and everyone else :flowerforyou:
Love reading stuff like this!
LBS needs some sort of award for coming up with this original thread idea, and getting the original thread moved back from the purgatory of Chit, Chat, Fun & Games after it was originally bounced from Food & Nutrition.
When I wrote to Turkey Hill, I told them about his ice cream cleanse, so I was kinda hoping they'd check it out. Could be the start of something.
LBS is awesome. 
hmmm, good idea. we should write to every ice cream company, maybe one will decide to sponsor us and provide free ice cream
They're passing my message on to their Research and Marketing teams, so you never know! Also, getting coupons! :bigsmile: That's worth writing to the ice cream companies itself.
sweet! i should write a letter to Turkey Hill right now to tell them how spanky i think their sweet potato pecan pie ice cream is. I wonder if they would send me coupons for that.
I bet they would. Do it!!!!0 -

Day 8: Couldn't find my blade for my blender to make a protein smoothie/shake for breakfast so I had Talenti Southern Butter Pecan instead for breakfast. OMG this flavor was heavenly. The only flavor I've tried so far from Talenti that I couldn't stand was the Lisbon Lemon. If I can find the blade I'll make the shake later.
Day 9: One pint Talenti Mediterranean Mint yum. Also had a Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pie.
Day 10: Some Talenti Sea Salt Caramel & Talenti Belgian Milk Chocolate
Day 11: Reese's Fast Break. I was going to eat some Giant Red Velvet Ice Cream when I got home, but my stomach felt like it was going to eat itself at work so I had the candy bar instead.

Day 20: Lindt Hello It's Me Crunchy Nougat bar, 1.5 servings of Brookside, and Jello Boston Cream Pie
Day 21: Chocolate Protein Smoothie with fruit & peppermint extract (whoo the peppermint was strong), a Peanut Butter Chocolate Crackerful, Hello My Name is Cookies & Cream 53 grams, a half serving of Brookside, and two new Chips Ahoy Birthday Frosting filled cookies. The cookies were pretty meh.
Day 22: A big *kitten* smoothie I made for breakfast with two cups cherries, one cup raspberries, two tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, one scoop chocolate protein powder, & a lot of Vanilla yogurt. For dessert I had the remaining few grams of the Cookies & Cream Lindt Bar & some Sam's Choice Coffee & Donuts ice cream (drools).

Day 25: Ben & Jerry's Cinnamon Bun ice cream with 1.5 serving of Cinnamon Straws
Day 26: Three servings of Turkey Hill Sweet Potato Pecan Pie & a serving of Dilettante chocolate. Whoever posted that Weis had a sale on Turkey Hill thanks:D. Bought that flavor, the Lemoni Biskoti, & Gertrude Hawk Box Of Chocolates. They had a sale on Talenti; unfortunately, no flavors I wanted. On Turkey Hill's webpage they have a new limited edition coming out http://www.turkeyhill.com/products/all-natural-recipe-flavors.aspx?pID=535. I wish they had the Eggnog still out.

For my day 30:
Banana caramel pie deconstructed - I tried a different crust recipe that didn't quite work too well, and was too thick, so I just put all the ingredients that should have been IN the pie ON TOP OF the crust. Tasted the same ... delicious!
But, I also made pecan pie and pumpkin pie out of the same crust ... does this mean I don't get to share pictures of these with you guys when I eat them over the next few days???
And yes, this challenge has shown me that if I eat consistent calories each day, not just averaging to a consistent number over a week, then my weight will either stay put or go down to where I want it to be. And this was great to show my husband, who thinks I am a little neurotic about calorie counting, that I will still enjoy myself with food!

Would it be going overboard if I said I wanted to try every single non-NSA flavor they have?0 -

I'm still waiting to see if Talenti delivers on my suggestion to release Red Velvet, Pumpkin Pie, and Key Lime Pie0

Today: just so I can post the photo ...
Pumpkin pie, made with a cornmeal and rice flour crust and real pumpkin instead of tinned pumpkin puree. Not my finest creation, but still not bad, all things considered!

Day 5: 1 square Ghiradelli Intense Dark Sea Salt Soiree and a slice of angel food cake with vanilla cool whip frosting and blackberries

Day 7: Hostess Donettes for breakfast - 2 powdered, 2 chocolate. 1 Hershey's Dark Chocolate miniature
Day 8: Homemade Double Chocolate Bundt Cake.
Day 9: Ghiradelli Sea Salt Soiree and graham crackers with nutella and raspberries
Day 10: half a chocolate chip cannoli from the Italian bakery in our neighborhood.
Day 11: 3 Samoas from the hidden Girl Scout Cookie Stash
Day 12: Chocolate Frozen Custard from Ted Drewes
Day 13: More chocolate custard
Day 14: chocolate frosted donuts and attack of the scalding hot peeps - roasted peeps and burned my fingers in the process!
Day 15: handful of kit kat mini bites
Day 16: Delta Airlines brownie.
Day 17: Stracciatella Gelato
Day 18: a lovely ricotta mini tart with chocolate chips and tiramisu gelato
Day 19: a pastry this morning - not sure what it was called... like a croissant with big sugar crystals on the outside and a custardy filling, for apertivo some Italian cookies (one was shortbread half dipped in chocolate, the other was chocolate and nuts and caramel), a Hershey's dark miniature after dinner from our US snack stash...
Day 20: another chocolate dipped shortbread cookie and gelato - half chocolate, half coffee.
Day 21: half a pain au chocolat (or whatever the Italian translation is), half serving of nutella gelato, and a chocolate dipped shortbread cookie.
Day 22: Tried a biscotti gelato sandwich dipped in chocolate that wasn't quite as good as it sounded... the biscotti was kind of stale tasting.
Day 23: 1/2 a nutella filled croissant, a Lindt dark chocolate truffle, 1/2 cup mango/coconut gelato, and a Lindt caramello truffle
Day 24: 1/2 cup straciatella gelato and a lindt coffee truffle
Day 25: 1/4 of a ricotta cheesecake (we went back to the same bakery - it was good but not very sweet) and a lindt coffee truffle
Day 26: 1/3 of a cream filled pastry for breakfast, half a small serving of caramel gelato after lunch, and half a chocolate dipped shortbread cookie for dinner
Day 27: nutella filled croissant (first day with no gelato since we got to Italy... I was really full on other stuff and just realized it when I sat down to update this thread!)
Day 28: cinnamon and ricotta gelato
Day 29: Lindt truffle and some baileys in my coffee
Day 30: Hersheys Special Dark Miniature, half my son's chocolate/vanilla swirl gelato, biscotti with my Baileys and coffee!
Day 31: GROM raspberry cheesecake gelato. It wasn't as amazing as I had hoped for. I also had some a crema croissant and some biscotti with my Bailey's and coffee.
I am sure I did not lose during this challenge, and quite likely gained, but that is from the excess I am engaging in across the board while in Italy, not solely to be blamed on the sweets. I would definitely go another round! Too bad y'all aren't big drinkers because I could totally initiate a 30 day booze cleanse...0 -

Young lady, those are called cronuts.I ate two of these. I had a dumb this morning. ETA they're croissant donuts. They were freakin' good, too. That's how I got the dumb.
I can't believe I've never had one. Totally feel like I'm missing out.0 -

They're not "the" cronuts, so it felt wrong calling them that. It's just wrong, I tell you!
I've never actually had a NY cronut, but I read that they're not the same from someone who has had both. 0 -

This was the first time I've seen them at my Safeway. I found a review when I was looking for the nutritional info, and it said they've been available in Canada since before the cronut guy came out with his version. I wrote to Safeway and asked for the nutritional info, if they have it. Maybe they'll send me coupons! 0 -
Too bad y'all aren't big drinkers because I could totally initiate a 30 day booze cleanse...
I've been doing that cleanse for quite some time However, I think that here on MFP there are enough non-drinkers, or enough folks who train seriously enough that their focus simply doesn't allow alcohol or allows it only infrequently on certain days (whereas fitting in some sweets is still manageable), that such a cleanse thread would be a little less interesting. And as much as I enjoy booze and find it an important factor in my home, social, and cultural life, I recognize that for others it is simply incompatible with their training goals and/or approach to life. I doubt such a thread would do near the good that this one (and the original ice cream cleanse) has done for folks. But if you want to start one, by all means do - may be surprising. 0 -
My 31 days are over but I had to share about my dessert tonight. I was at a tapas restaurant and they had something called Crema Catalana which was similar to Creme brûlée only the custard part was much looser than normal and the carmelized sugar had a MAJOR dose of cinnamon. It was the best Creme brûlée I've ever had. I didn't have my phone with me so no pics, sorry!0
