dairy can slow down your progress. Try to limit the ice cream to once or twice a week, and make sure the ice cream only has a couple of ingredients (haagen dasz 5 is great for this, along with the original breyers flavors, and talenti gelato)0

No. Some people eat chocolate every day. You have portion control, you can do it.0

Dairy hasn't slowed my progress down and I will not give it up.0

portion control...good choices with everything else and exercise???? Heck ya...enjoy....I love it0

I disagree that dairy will slow down your progress. I think different diets work differently for different people. I eat a TON of dairy (milk, cheese, yogurt, ice cream) and have not had any problem exceeding my weight loss and fitness expectations.
I can't think of ANY reason a few spoonfuls of ice cream a day would slow my progress.0 -
NOPE! i have a small treat every night0

This is actually the first time I've heard this! Can you elaborate a little further? I'm just not quite sure why dairy specifically slows down your progress0 -

Really? Not challenging you, but I've never heard this before. I could understand the calories in full-fat dairy, but dairy in general?
Interested to see what others say.,,,0 -
I drink about a cup of whole milk in my coffee every day and I'm on the low end of the healthy weight BMI. I love me the cheese also and it didn't hurt my loses.
I don't think it's "what" you eat as how "much" you eat. I also eat until 11PM at night, just adding for fun.0 -
just in my own personal journey, I've found that dairy hinders weight loss. Try cutting it out 100% for 30 days and see what happens when you add it back in. I love dairy and have it regularly, but for me it comes with a consequence. That consequence is slower progress.0

I have ice cream as my dessert every day. I just log it, and account for the calories.
The only way it would slow your weight loss is if you fail to hit your calorie deficit after having it.0 -
it hasnt hurt me so far.. I also eat 1 slice of pizza and 3 wings once every other week other than that you can see my normal diet and im under on carbs and fat pretty much everyday...Again I run 3-4 miles everyday or bike 18-20 and soethimes 30 or 40 miles on the off days...0

I suppose it depends on your interpretation of dairy. I (out of habit) associate dairy with calcium, so automatically think when you say you cut out dairy you also cut out calcium (stupid I know haha). Just be careful in stating things directly, many people take the posts people write as though they are 100% accurate, and I'd hate for another nasty "diet" myth to be spread in respect to dairy
I would say though moderate amounts of dairy will not hinder any weight loss. And if anything, a good source of calcium will likely help you in the long run As long as you meet your caloric and nutritional goals, a little ice cream every night wont hurt!0 -
thats pretty much all the dairy I get, I dont drink milk, I do have low moisture skim cheese on my salad, a little bit...so te ice cream may be doing me good0
-
so...if i am still loosing weight it shouldnt be hurting me right ?? Just wonder if its raising my blood glucose or LDL ??0
-
I eat a skinny cow icecream sandwhich every single night.
Every night.
As long as it fits into your caloric goal then go for it!0 -
I think you are in active and at a healthy weight, so your are probably fine with a few spoonful of ice cream.0
-
Will the ice cream hurt me?
No.0 -
yea again I eat a couple tablespoons of it after dinner and maybe a ice cream cone once a week. Again I run 4 miles a day or bike 15-20 miles on days I dont run and I do this every week. I eat oatmeal every morning for breakfast palin with water, BIG salad with olive oil and vinager a few croutons, cucumber,onion,low fat cheese and either some tuna or chicken or turkey on top.. Some cashews for snack and either refried beans,sushi ( no rice) salmon, fish or chicken and veggies for supper. I drink a glass of red wine everynight after supper and a couple pretzles for a snack...
Check out my diary I am down to 149 from 197...I am where I want to be weight wise and feel good....0 -
If it fits (and you are meeting your macros) then why not. I had wine and a full cup of ice cream all last week. The key is to watch your potions0
