There
are actually healthy ways to cheat.
USA Diet Plans® considers
regular ice cream healthier than
fat-free or reduced fat versions
because I would rather have the
fat than the carbohydrate -especially
when your ice cream is made from
what I consider healthy fats.
The insulin response is much greater
after eating high carbohydrate
frozen yogurts and sherberts.
A cheat meal for me is usually
pizza and I have ice cream for
dessert. I either choose Ben &
Jerry's® Pistachio-pistachio
flavor or Häagen-Dazs®
Butter pecan.
Ben & Jerry's® Pistachio-pistachio
has a short ingredient list, pistachios
consist of a healthy fat and they
also use coconut oil. Although
coconut oil is a saturated fat,
USA Diet Plans® does not see
a problem with coconut oil because
coconut oil is low in omega-6
fat.
Ingredients: Cream,
Skim Milk, Liquid Sugar, Water,
Pistachios, Egg Yolks, Natural
Flavor, Coconut Oil, Guar Gum,
Salt, Carrageenan.
Häagen-Dazs® Butter Pecan
has nuts as an ingredient, a short
ingredient list and they also
use coconut oil.
Ingredients:
Cream, Skim Milk (Lactose Reduced),
Sugar, Pecans (Roasted in Coconut
Oil, Butter, Salt), Egg Yolks,
Corn Syrup, Natural Vanilla, Salt.
