Where can I find this? Would it just be in a normal grocery store or Walmart?

    Yes in with the regular ice cream .

    IMO, I think it tastes awful though. You may like it, but I certainly didn't.
    I just save 149 cals for a real serving of ice cream because the artic zero tasted like flavored frozen water to me.

    Yeah, everyone on this site scared me away from Arctic Zero but sorry guys...wish I tried it sooner. For a volume eater, I like it a lot. Sprinkle some powdered peanut butter and I'm happy.

    Not all stores carry it. Just do a google search for stores in your area that do.

    Don't do it. The only way to eat that ice cream is to throw it in the trash. I tried the cookies and cream flavor and it tasted like chemicals and frozen water.

    Don't do this to yourself. It tastes like lightly flavored cardboard. Have some real ice cream, some jello, some reduced calorie pudding (Those Jello temptations are pretty nice. I get the cheesecake, toss a few chocolate chips on top, and they have sugar free versions too.)

    Turkey Hill, Breyers, & Edy's all have ice creams that have lower calories.

    Edy's has a Pumpkin flavor that is 100 calories for slow churned, & 130 for the regular version.

    For the amount I see they charge for Arctic Zero (usually around $4.00+) you could buy a few of the others for around that same price.

    Awful! I wish someone had told me before I wasted good money on it. I'd much rather do an hour of cardio and enjoy real ice cream.

    I'm curious to know if the new formula is any better. I'm in the "really hated the stuff" camp, but I haven't tried it since they changed it. I'm also curious to know if the new formula has the same calorie/label issue that the old one had.

    I don't know. I'm actually ticked that everyone gave it such a bad wrap on here. I'm having some now with cocoa powder and peanut butter and I love it. Maybe I wouldn't have eaten when I had 40 lbs to lose and a bigger deficit, but things are tight now. And I don't want a spoon of ice cream.

    Cookie dough seems to get pretty decent reviews.

    I a) will eat almost anything and b) am use to eating gluten free, dairy free, sugar free, ect ect foods..... This stuff is horrible!!! Don't buy it! It's a trap. It's made with the lent of Satan's dryer and fish tank water.

    i just bought the new chunky pints and i though they were pretty decent compared to the original line which is terrible.. great if you're a volume eater though.

    A couple other brands to look for:

    Skinny Cow & Weight Watchers (yummy ice cream sandwiches). Even Popsicle brand Fudgesicles are fairly low calorie.

    I like Breyer's Slow Churn it's lower fat, not fat-free. Some of the fat-free ice creams I've tried were gross. Whatever they add to increase the creaminess had a weird after taste. I'd rather deal with a few extra calories.

    Ooooh! Breyer's pumpkin spice (gotta go get some) - 1 small scoop hits the spot.

    I do this with the Vanilla Maple flavor and it is perfect! I like volume :) and teeny tiny scoop of something super premium just wont cut it for me.

    Try out halo top. Has wayyyy better reviews for its taste. A little more calories, but still only 240 for the whole pint. Whole foods and sprouts usually carries it. Also, the artic zero is good if you spice it up a little with cinnamon, cocoa, SF syrup, baked quest bar crushed and crumbled on top, or use it in a smoothie to add texture and taste with fruit/ protein powder....etc.

    Not a fan but I have seen it at Sprouts, Smiths, etc. It's really not hard to find. I prefer Halo Top which is a little harder to find at least in all available flavors. They were giving away samples at the Olympia this year and the rep said they had revamped some flavors so maybe it's better now but not enough IMO, I tried the cookie dough at the expo and I ate the small container but I still have not purchased any.

    Totally agree! Halo top is a little creamier and is worth the extra calories...Ive tried Lemon Cake, Vanilla, Strawberry and Chocolate but have trouble finding the other flavors.

    Right! Only flavor I haven't tried is the chocolate mocha chip. I've never seen that in a store. The birthday cake and chocolate mint are my faves but most stores seem to carry the flavors you mentioned which are also good. All this Halo talk is going to have me stopping to get some tonight!

    Never dared trying Artic Zero. I kinda like Halo Top but really don't recommend eating the whole pint, I learned the hard way... Only tried vanilla but it's too expensive for me. I'd splurge on birthday cake but I haven't seen it anywhere.

    Im an ice cream junkie--if I didn't have halo top I would be plowing into the bryers with my kids after dinner...and I want a good sized serving too!

    There are a few stores around here that carry it that I haven't been to--so hope to try the other flavors soon. :)

    I must be the only one but I like Edy's slow churned much more than Breyer's.

    At least you like the flavor. I still would take quality over quantity.

    You can get some lower calorie ice creams from Turkey Hill, Breyers, & Edy's & have 3-4 servings.

    Hasn't Arctic Zero come under fire for having way off calorie counts?

    Having a 4 servings of Breyers' is like a third of my days calories. I like the vanilla maple flavor and find it creamy enough for my tastes but the other flavors are too 'watered down' to me.

    My understanding is that the calorie count per serving is fine for Artic Zero, I think the issue is the claim that the whole container is a certain number of calories which is not always the case.
