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 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.
