How to get rid of ice cream cravings?

take a banana slice it up freeze the slices. add it to a food processor with 2 teaspoons chunky peanut butter and 1/4 teaspoon cocoa powder. its 185 calories if you do 100 grams of banana. its amazing how much it really does taste like ice cream i hope this helps

I eat icecream almost everyday,I just fit it in my allowed calories,dont give up what you like just do it in moderation,I dont eat half a gallon at a time like I used to ,now I have 125 grams when I have some,this is not a diet for me ,its a change in the way I eat,I will never give up the foods that I love to eat.I have lost 82 pounds by doing it this way,you can too

Greek yogurt with hershey's cocoa powder for baking and splenda. Tastes like a thick creamy chocolate milkshake...or at least I think so.

a cup of it is usually around 140-170 cals and its very filling

Frozen cool whip. Skinny cow mini's. Give husband pint of good stuff, eat three bites. Drink a cup of coffee. Make homemade ice cream. Give child a bowl of good stuff, eat three bites.

I don't try to get rid of it, I just monitor it. Like, I just have a serving size and leave room in my calories for it...Or buy frozen yogurt.

OR make yogurt Popsicle...just put regular yogurt in the Popsicle containers and freeze...that's my hubby's new thing. I like skinny cow candy too

Try adding a whole banana to 1/2 cup of ice cream. That way you are eating something healthy and still get a taste of the ice cream you love.

Try a McDonald's ice cream cone. They are about 100 calories each. I don't buy cartons cause I would eat half in one sitting.

I really love low-fat/fat free fudgesicles. Very yummy!

Or try sugar free popsicles.

The other day I made Nutella fudgesicles--blend 1 cup skim milk and 1/3 cup nutella in a blender. Pour into popsicle molds and freeze. So tasty!! I didn't figure the nutrition on those, but my popsicle molds hold about 1/4 cup each and I made 6 of them with this recipe.

If you like chocolate, try Haagen Dazs chocolate sorbet. It's very rich, you can't eat a very large portion!

There's a ton of recipes floating around for "banana soft serve." Basically peel and chop a banana up, then freeze. Blend in blender or food processor with just enough milk to get it moving. Drizzle with a bit of ff chocolate sauce if you like.

eat an appropriate portion and chart it

I'm a Nutella fiend! I just might have to make these. Maybe even try them with Cookie Butter. Definitely have to figure out these nutrition facts soon for myself. ;-)

I also work ice cream I into my days. No sugar added, low fat, slow-churned ones with half the calories....always measure it out! Frozen yogurt in moderation too, or I make my newly found fave of frozen Greek yogurt, mixed with peanut butter and mini chocolate chips ( one container of yogurt, one tsp of pb, one tbs of mini chips and split it to two servings.) Takes awhile to eat frozen and definitely satisfying. You can make it with fruit, too.

I don't resist. I just eat and log. Of course I don't eat it but once in a month or two. I eat Chobani's Greek yogurt. All the other brands I look at that say they are all natural add some pretty funny natural stuff to their yogurt. Like corn starch(Oikos etc.). Remember, coal dust is natural but I don't want it in my food. This is how they get some bad stuff in our foods and trick unknowing people into thinking that they are eating healthy. Also, frozen yogurt really probably isn't as good for you as ice cream. No probiotics at all. All the suggestions sound good though and I will try a few probably.

I have been blending Frozen blueberries or strawberries with non fat vanilla yogurt. The frozen berries make the yogurt into an ice cream like texture. THis is usually about 100 calories or so for a coffee mug full, usually. Or I also sometimes eat a Skinny Cow Mini Ice cream cup. Their 150 calories per serving. It satifies the sweet ice cream craving, but the fact that they're made with skim milk, keeps the calories down.
Also, for the will power bit; Id write yourself a note and put it on the freezer, or wherever you find yourself dipping into for a not-so-healthy snack. Just a little (or big, lol) note, reminding yourself how worthy you are of reaching your goal. And that only YOU are sabotaging yourself if you don't say NO! Ive put little pop up reminders in my cell phone around lunch and dinner time, so that I get a little reminder to choose the healthy foods, and that I WILL REACH MY GOAL ONE DAY!. It has helped immensley!! I also Have a Picture of my fitness goal on my cell phone as a backround pic. Motivation is the best way of getting rid of Poor will power. Just remember that your not alone, and that we are ALL here with the same issues, so If you need a little motivational boost, holler at your MFB buddies!! lol :happy: Good Luck!!

1) Measure out some ice cream into a small bowl (don't eat it from the carton EVER).
2) Eat the ice cream.
3) Go for a walk.

You shouldn't deprive yourself of it if you want it. Just exercise restraint and fit it into your calories.
