Birthday Alternative for Cake and Ice Cream
Replies
-
On my last birthday I just had lots of my favorite food...Sushi. I also had mochi covered green tea sorbet
But I would totally just eat cake if I liked it more than sushi and mochi covered sorbet. Like everyone said, just work it in and don't make your kids hate you with that watermelon trick. Just plain evils.
Can someone clue me in though, am I missing something with the Hawaiian rolls? I don't get it :blushing: .
Months ago, some chick was talking about how she was trying to be healthier or something. And for her little girl's birthday, instead of cake, she took some Hawaii rolls and put colored frosting on top.0 -

frosting bread is one thing. Like with chocolate spread. But putting the icing/frosting used on cakes on top of some hawaii sweet rolls and calling it a cake for a little girl's bday is messed up. I can't remember if it was for the kid's party too or not.0 -
This thread makes me want to :sad: This deliciousness helped..
PB Brownie cheesecake?
..but I'd still want cake too.0 -
Um I just want to put in a vote for emotional health - which some foods can help - i.e. makes a person happy. Yes, stick with moderation. If you're constantly thinking about every little thing that you eat ever and how much sugar, soy, etc. it has and how it might kill you... are you really focused on enjoying all parts of your life? No matter what, food is always a part of life and does need to be enjoyed (for the majority of people).
You know what also helps emotional health? Not being overweight or diabetic. Does wonders...
Are you insinuating that everyone who practices moderation is overweight or diabetic?0 -
I would just have the cake OR the ice cream, not both (choose the one that looks best!)0

It wasn't even frosting. It was food colored fat-free cool whip, and it was for a kid's birthday. Although, I think someone called it out as a troll pretty quickly. Google Image search is pretty handy for stuff like that.0 -
Bingo! Life is too short to not have your cake and eat it too....I would substitute cake and ice cream with cake and ice cream. Six times a year for cake and ice cream should not slow down anything. Save 500 calories for each event, enjoy yourself and celebrate the birthday with no regret.0 -
That is GREAT if you decided it is the best thing for you to do, that doesn't give you to right to say everybody else should comply. Eating sugar in no way guarantees a person will develop adult onset diabetes, there are many other variables. T2DM is also reversible as you already stated, then those people will have to take action to reverse it. I don't think I have any reason to be concerned, I took away the variable that made my blood sugar rise (the weight) and now I am quite fine, and able to eat my sweets with no negative consequences. How do I know the weight made it rise? Because it has gone back to pre-overweight levels (even though I am not quite to normal range yet, but only 1 point away), and those levels (for me) are low and no cause for concern.So, if you see your blood sugar rising, you should take action. When my fasting went up to 101 (first time in my life it was over 100) I took action, now it is back to normal again. As long as I keep the weight off, I really don't see it as a problem. I don't drink juice or soda, but if I want some sweets I am going to have them as long as they fit my macros...the end.
ETA: I don't think that study holds a lot of water, I agree with the above poster that self-reporting is not reliable. Family history matters, most of the people I know with type 2 have that variable. I guess if you gain enough weight you can override that, but that doesn't mean you would have developed it otherwise just from eating sugar.
Or you know... You could like avoid the actions that make you obese and diabetic in the first place... I kinda side with that approach...
If you don't think you can trust self-reporting than you have to throw out about 90%+ of all diet studies/data to include the major ones like Framingham Study, The Nurses’ Study, and NHANES. Self-reporting isn't reliable, yes, but the really obvious stuff still shows up. NHANES is a great example... Only about 4,000 or so participants a year yet for the last 40 years we've seen an increase in reported consumption. Want to know how we know people are consuming more today than 40 years ago? NHANES. Do you not trust that? We see expected gains in mean body weight and obesity. So in a large scale obvious numbers, even inaccurate ones, do show trends correctly.
There are plenty of other studies to indicate refined sugar as a major contributor as well. I think the best example is how the treatment to reversing T2DM is cutting out refined sugar!
Have a nice life.0 -

My son and husband eat regular ice cream, snacks, etc. I guess it is good for me to live in this environment, since I see those things all the time, but I don't eat them. It is helping me learn resistance (actually I don't find it that hard) I keep things around I can eat. I have had cake on 2 occasions since January when I started this (actually 3, I split the carrot cake slice between desert for dinner and breakfast the next morning, but it wasn't that good and not worth it). That is how I generally look at it, is it worth what eating this will cost me?I think you may be making the problem too specific. I 100% understand how a birthday can throw you way off track with eating healthy, but it's not just the cake and ice cream. Birthdays are almost always celebrated with some kind of food-related occasion (or multiple food-related occasions!) because eating food together is a way that family and friends can spend time together and enjoy each others company. Plus birthday celebrations can involve a lot of time-- planning a party or event, then the actual event, and then whatever kind of aftermath (clean-up, food coma, hangover, etc). This means you may need a day or two to "recover", and in the pre- and post-birthday celebration activities, you're less likely to spend the time and money on healthier foods.
A trick that my mother has taught me -- she's lost over 100 lbs over about 5 years -- is to not keep the food IN the house. Go out and get everybody a cupcake and a scoop of ice cream. Bring candles to put them in the cupcakes or pieces of cake so you can still make it special and sing happy birthday (well, you may need to bring the food outside if the establishment doesn't want you to make a flame inside :happy: ).
Even when I get small cakes, I always end up eating more than I should, just because I have leftovers. And ice cream is my #1 food, so I can't be trusted with that at all.
So, instead of jumping to the conclusion that you need to replace the cake and ice cream, maybe think more about the whole birthday celebration "experience" and plan in advance how you'll survive the occasion without falling off the wagon.
(All of that said, I think it's perfectly okay to replace cake and ice cream with something a little healthier if that's what you want to do. To each his or her own!)
I guess my opinion when it comes to something like cake is if you are going to eat it, better to eat the good stuff, fit it into your calories/macros for the day. Now in my case, give me cheesecake over layer cake any day.0 -

We have a tradition of making a cake and getting ice cream each time a birthday comes around. It always tastes great, but they are very high in calories. We have 6 in our family, so it seem that just when we start losing weight again another birthday comes around and slows our progress.
Anyone have alternatives that we can use to make it more healthy? I would love to hear your ideas.
I would just buy angel food cake and frozen yogurt. But really, 6 birthdays is one every 2 months. You can afford 1 piece of cake and a scoop of ice cream. But just that. Just because it's someones birthday doesn't mean you have to pig out. Eat in moderation, save a few calories that day, and enjoy a piece of cake and ice cream. Good luck.0 -

Are you insinuating that everyone who practices moderation is overweight or diabetic?
No... It's just moderation is much less successful at weight loss both short term and long term as well as reversing T2DM. Seeing how 2/3 of the American population is overweight and obese that's a lot of people being overweight/obese longer. Factor in that long term weight loss success is pretty dismal and non-moderate approaches may be the only way people have a reasonable probability for success.

How do those studies indicate that moderation is not a good strategy - what are they saying is better? Keto?0 -

and since you have advance warning keeping an honest food journal within your macros should be no problem

I vote for cake, ice cream, and a workout (maybe an active birthday activity like a hike, swimming, biking, etc.).0

Thanks for the ideas!
I know it is just every other month, but along with other special days (holidays, date nights, and others) it adds up and this is one place I might be able to cut down the calories fairly easy.
It's not just birthdays....maybe you need to focus on ALL your special days and find a way to make them more suitable for watching calories.0 -
Why don't you try this!! the cake uses Zucchini instead of butter and the icing is made using Avocado!

As for the icecream, why not try frozen yogurt instead?!
