Check out this thread. I made some last night! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/900096-ice-cream-ice-cream

It is high in calories per serving so I keep it to just a cup. I have a large intake for the day being 6' 6" tall so I hardly notice it a couple hours later. I had a snack before lunch today because I was hungry.

This was great! I made the coconut milk ice cream and added a pint of fresh Blackberries to it and froze it. It had only been in the freezer for about 5 hours and the middle was still runny. So it really does need a good 6 hours in there. But it was great! Topped it on a banana and some shredded coconut on top and had my…

Sounds like you have a great mindset. Welcome!!

I think the only reason I am not hungry an hour later like you is that I mix it with my protein, nuts, flax seed and berries. But after more information about how our bodies do not even process it in that article I really see no point in eating it.

I would imagine quite a few at least. That was my thought exactly when I saw the recipe is that is a lot of nuts. Probably maybe 1/2 cup to a serving. When I make it I will break it all down and get a serving size with nutrition info and post it up.

Well after reading that I see no reason to continue eating them. My trainer sent out our newsletter and had this recipe for cereal. I am going to give this a shot for mornings. Gotta head to the store and get me some supplies! Going to make the coconut ice cream also. Try this savory, high fiber, low-carb option instead.…

Awesome, thank you for the link to the article. Reading it now. I am happy where I am so I feel good about everything I am doing. Very happy to be losing the unwanted weight and feeling great. Thank you to all who responded. Glad we have a lot of open minded individuals here!

Well I am headed to the store this weekend to get some ingredients to make the coconut milk one. It sounds soooo good and I was a Ice Cream lover for my entire life on this rock....haha I will post up how it turns out! Might try some different things in mine also to give people more ideas. I already have one trick I am…

haha, well I am very confused then. Can you tell?? LOL! I should have it down pretty solid by the end of the weekend. I won't be over freaked out about it but just want to cut out processed foods and get down to business on keeping my body healthy. I think I am headed in the right direction. If I do not fit into either of…

That is cool. Thank you for the additional comments. I am going to be doing some reading this weekend because I might be slightly on the Primal side of things. I have just started this so a few months down the road I will really be able to find my place in all of it. But one thing is for sure I am not going back. I really…

Nope!

Hello! Very happy to say I am and never have cared what other people thought. I like the comment below. That is how I have always felt. quote=mfpcopine - I believe in the power of people acting at their very best to conduct themselves with good will and sensitivity and altruism towards others.

That is cool and they are working fine for me. I do not get any other cravings and they make a great alternative to unhealthy boxed cereals. I mix oats, protein powder, crunched up nuts, berries and some flax seed meal with unsweetened almond milk. Hits the spot and is exactly what I like in the morning is a cold bowl of…

I dropped all grains, dairy and sugar fully 7 days ago. Just did cold turkey and never looked back. I hear a lot of people say they just cannot give up some things but if you fully commit yourself for just a few days it will get easier and easier to do. I feel better and never get a " sluggish " feeling after eating a huge…

The Coconut Chicken recipe sounds awesome! I am going to try that!

I have the luxury of being a stay at home dad so I don't usually have to pack a lunch. But I saw this idea and if I am heading out on vacation I am going to do this Salad in a Jar method. I absolutely love Salads and this is a way to get something different for many days just by taking a hour or so on Sunday and packing…

I use Syntha 6 Protein powder for a supplement. It is great in the morning for a cold Protein and oats cereal or hot. Also in a smoothie made with nuts/fruits. I like Beef Jerkey as well for snacks. Very filling and does not require any prep.

I am in the same boat. I am losing the pounds pretty good and still have a few to go. Send me a friend request if you like and then you can view my diary of what I have been eating. I am working out regularly and I feel great!
