    We need a pop-tart and ice cream love group. Since the last thread I found the Pumpkin Pie, Gingerbread, and Marshmallow and Hot Cocoa pop tarts at a local Big Lot. I wanted to share my job and pics, but the thread was locked.

    WE NEED A PLACE TO ADORE THESE TARTS!!!

    Ice cream too. That ****e is good. I need to try it with pop-tarts as a sandwich with the ice cream. After my day of dealing with a sick cat I'm considering popping that cherry tonight.

    They are bad because they lack bacon. DUH!

    I think I'm in love.

    And to the OP, pop-tarts are all bad. Unless they are brown sugar cinnamon. Then they are good. Also, if you combine the ice cream and poptarts into a sandwich, it nullifies anything bad and makes it a superfood. Look out kale and broccoli!

    Edit: Also, how did you get your total cholesterol that low? My HDL was about 2/3 of that alone. Is your LDL really that low? Insane!

    Denny's has Baconalia going on right now. On Saturday I had French toast stuffed with white chocolate and bacon, then covered in bacon and caramel.

    I almost ordered the bacon brownie for dessert.

    Mind sharing your last CBC results?

    Not at all, I was actually not expecting someone to ask. I'll bring them in tomorrow and post them here. I'm not hiding anything. Would you prefer a scanned image with name(s) redacted or can I just type them?

    I just wanted to say, I like the way you think. But I did have the bacon sundae from Burger King a while back.
    those are so good <,< i love them.
    also agree with the poster that said cinnamon/brown sugar poptarts are the only good ones. however, i would consider using another flavor to make an ice cream sammich with.
    most people used to get mad at me around here when i would suggest bacon to people who needed more calories and/or protein.

    Everything in moderation is what I say. I love my ice cream! Pop tarts...not so much but I can't see a single reason to argue with your logic. If it works for you...ENJOY! ;-)

    Who cares what other people think of the food you choose to put in your body?

    I have yet to try a Pop Tart (but thanks for the ideas on your last thread Magerum - I believe those of us in the UK can order them online, so will be looking into that).

    So my favourite treat is meringue with whipped double cream, sometimes with a handful of nuts sprinkled over, sometimes cocoa powder, sometimes strawberries or ice cream. At 50cals for a meringue nest and 100cals for the cream, it's a treat I can easily work into my calorie intake.

    A treat a day reminds me that I'm in this for the long-haul and it's not a diet. It's a change in the way I think about food and in my relationship with food. Food is no longer the enemy, thanks to MFP, and balanced eating with a treat or two a day means I am enjoying food without bingeing. And that means I eat the right amount of calories to lose weight slowly and steadily.

    So, no, I can't give you a solid reason why Pop Tarts and icecream are bad.

    There is nothing wrong with any of it. I live on it. The only thing you have to watch for is sodium and blood pressure. Which is why they make blood pressure meds. Inhibit your kidney from retaining water and keep on eating all the pop tarts in the world. Yes, serious.

    Losing weight doesn't make you automatically healthier.

    BOOM.

    I don't eat pop tarts any more because they have very little filling compared to when I was a kid. Such a disappointment. I have no problem with ice cream. Just frozen creamy milk with luscious flavor. I just go with the phrase "everything in moderation". Variety of foods is the spice of life. Yumm

    Actually, it does. There may be a few outliers, but health markers improve as body composition improves. That is like the one thing that is easily provable and most studies agree upon.
