  • Of course you can have ice cream. You can even have it every single day if you like. Just not the whole factory lol. Eat a huge breakfast and a decent lunch first, and leave your cravings at the end of the day. You will feel eating less of it, and you'll be able to calculate how much according to how many calories you have left, and it'll feel like a daily reward for not going overboard.

    A cheat meal will not only affect your 1 day diet, In fact you may lose your motivation for the whole weight loss process.
    So try to cut down all those high calorie food from your diet and try different kinds of fruits as deserts.
    Its true that a calorie is calorie but it should come from all the healthy sources. so you will get all the essential
    vitamins from those food along with the calorie.

    If you really want to lose weight including these high calorie deserts in your diet won't work well.

    THANKS OBAMA!!!
  • By the way, am I the only one here who sees all these waffle pictures, and doesn't feel a thing? :yawn:

    I must have forgotten what a sweet craving feels like. :laugh:

    There's this amazing chicken and waffles restaurant called Dames. They have sweet potato waffles and panko-crusted chicken breast. I cannot even begin to tell you how this makes me feel.

    So I baked some ice cream bread because I wanted to try out the recipe. All I did was adding vanilla ice cream and self-raising flour and baked it. It turned out okay but I was kind of disappointed so I ate like half of it and threw it away. In the morning I had some sweet potatoes. Should I not eat for the rest of the day? I usually have a big breakfast and try to avoid processed foods and eat SO LITTLE for lunch and dinner because I don't feel hungry if I eat a big breakfast. Please help... what should I do for the rest of the day and week?

    Try chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla.
    double choc and drizzle fudge on it

    Let's not forget caramel.

    salted caramel?

    Okay so Korea and Chicago - anywhere else I need to start planning a trip to???

    Green tea ice cream in Japan.

    Yep...it's pat-bing-soo time in Korea as well. How can you beat shaved ice topped with sweet red beans, ice cream, fruit and sweetened condensed milk?! ......or my favorite - coffee-bing-soo.

    Do not starve yourself. If you think you've thrown your week, think again. I made this spreadsheet because my calories tend to fluctuate greatly so I try to stick to a weekly goal instead of a daily one. I had a particularly tricky oral surgery last week, so I'm currently living off ice ream, milkshake and pudding. I went over my goal by 1000 calories 3 days this week, and I'm almost 2000 calories in debt, yet if I stick to my goal for the remaining two days I'm still expected to lose weight! Not as much as I originally planned (half a kilo) but it's still a loss. Take a look:

    Just continue your day normally. One bad day will not undo all the good days you had.

    Really? Can you tell me more on how it doesn't work well?

    If it's a life style change as you say, shouldn't I learn to eat all the foods that I enjoy just in better portion control, so that well I can follow this for the rest of my life?

    Well off to plan my day around my chocolate pound cake and gelato so I can see what else I can eat :)

    We do it right in Korea. We skip the bread and go for the waffle. Usually with cream and honey but sometimes with ice cream too!

    Korea is waffle heaven. Pick your poison:

    I actually totally disagree with the "lifestyle change" philosophy. Without a strong driver like an illness or moral/religious reasons, totally changing your lifestyle is not known to succeed long term because people tend to fall back into their old lifestyle. I'm in the "lifestyle tweak" camp. You take your current lifestyle, and see what you could add/adit to achieve your goal, so it's not too vastly different from what you are used to.

    I have easily, and yes I say easily, lost 37 kg (81.5 lb) by eating the way I used to eat, with some tweaks. For me, I went with oversizing my low cal favourite foods to automatically downsize my higher calorie foods, sticking my "trigger" foods in times and places where I cannot have more or I'm already full, and using veggie fillers in my higher calorie recipes to bulk the size of portions without bulking calories too much - since I'm a volume eater. I just eat whatever I want, on whichever days I want without worrying too much about calories and I just happen to fall within my weekly target on most weeks. It had an exciting learning curve, but now it's just a second nature. Different strategies work for different people depending on their own personality and situation.

    I do agree with you that "cheat meals" may not work for everyone, simply because the concept of "cheating" makes some people overdo it. When that concept is removed from your diet, it stops being a "reward" or a "guilty meal" and it just becomes a normal part of the way you eat, no negative or positive feelings attached - other than the normal satisfaction of eating something you like.

    You try to avoid processed food but decided to make ice cream bread? What?

    Just start over tomorrow with a normal calorie goal, normal macro goals, and stop eating half a loaf of ice cream bread every day...

    LMAO^^THIS

    Hey, yesterday I shared some crab dip and bread pudding with a colleague...plus I had a nocoise salad. No beer, though. I came in about 100 cal over my goal for the day and I didn't exercise. But you know what? That would still put me losing at a rate of 1.3 lbs per week. Today is a new day, and I'm happy for it.

    When you make a poor dietary decision you shouldn't "starve" yourself the rest of the day to compensate for it. All that does it put your body on a metabolic roller coaster (especially when eating something as simple sugar dense as "ice cream bread" and then going to nothing). Doing those sorts of things are horrible for your thyroid and hormone secretion regulation….

    If temptation comes around next time, especially carb cravings… when your body is craving simple carbs it is often times due to a protein deficiency, so try eating something quick like jerky or a chicken breast, or tuna… a protein shake possibly? Also try consuming a piece of fruit like banana or apple when your sweet tooth is calling. Remember that cravings are in your head and real hunger is in your stomach, listen to your bodies needs rather than its wants.
    Okay, but what if I don't want jerk, chicken, tuna, a shake, a banana or an apple? What if I just want ice cream? Should I never eat ice cream?

    If you think Korea is waffle heaven, you should come to Belgium. It's kind of what they do here. Along with beer, mussels, fries, and chocolate. Fat kid heaven.

    As for the OP: I agree with the sentiment that the day is over. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Just start anew tomorrow.

    trying to lose weight yet make and eat ice cream bread and whines abou it. why even make it?

    Lol, good thing she didn't actually like it or she may have eaten the whole loaf

    That's so mean. Stop talking about the OP like that. >_< OP, I tried that recipe before! It was meh for me too. You don't need to starve yourself for the rest of the week though. Like others have said, just eat normally again!

    No one was mean. :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh:

    Maybe the ice cream bread is what caused your diarrhea that you wondered about a few days ago???

    I know. I was there around Christmas. I loved the stroopwaffles and fries (but not so much with the mayo on them - the fries that is)

    I don't understand why you'd eat half a loaf of something that disappointed you. That seems like a big problem right there. You need to learn not to use up calories on things that you don't really love. By all means, indulge yourself--I've lost 30lb since Jan, and before I got pregnant I lost 60lb in 8 months, and both times it was about learning moderation and not being afraid to indulge myself, but also knowing that if you don't love what you're eating, it isn't worth spending your calories. Save them for something you love. That being said, I agree with those who said what you ate isn't THAT big of an expenditure, and you should plan on eating the rest of your calories, and maybe squeezing in another workout when you can.

    As to ice cream bread? Not worth it. We've done if 3 different times, each with a different ice cream, thinking we just hadn't found the right flavour to make it amazing. Nope. Disappointing every time. Took it into work and let coworkers have a go at it.

    Exactly, but now that you did.......... go about your normal day... yes your calories will be off the hook for today...and not in accordance with your daily goal, but its okay to mess up one day. it takes 3,500 ...yes 3,500 extra calories to gain a pound. That ice cream bread may have set you back 500, at worst. That won't make as big of difference so long as you continue to eat properly for the rest of the day, maybe go for a job or do some cardio to bump your metabolism and work some of that ice cream bread off. But, trust me, you'll be fine if you only do this today...don't splurge on your daily calories anymore anytime soon. Whatever you do, don't starve yourself! Your body needs protein and other nutrients daily to function properly, and you did not get those from the ice cream bread so you still need to eat!

    The "black stuff" is actually cooked,sweetened red beans and the "ice cubes" are actually like a mild jello. It's really delicious! Korea and Japan both put the sweet red beans as filling in doughnuts and pastries too - and even replaces "fudge" in popsicles.
