IMO dont stress so much over the situation, enjoy the icecream, dont worry about sugars, calories, etc... its not as if you eat it on a daily basis. Enjoy life a little![]()
Well its my sisters birthday tonight so it looks like we’re going to Coldstone (a big ice cream place) so I’m making it a cheat meal. Besides trying to enjoy myself and not freak out about what I’m eating, is there anything I can do to make the cheat not as bad? I know that all of the sugar in the ice cream will create a big insulin spike (and I store fat very easily); is there anything that you guys do to help negate the impact of this? Like, specifically, I’ve heard of people taking psyllium husk or Metamucil before a meal that they know is gonna be bad; does anyone have any experience with this? Or should I eat some protein or fat with the meal to try to decrease the glycemic load of the meal? Or would these extra calories just make the cheat worse?
Thanks guys,
Luke

Couldn't agree more... there's nothing worse than deciding to have a cheat meal and then stressing about it, feeling guilty and wondering how detrimental it will be to you... once in a while a cheat is good and it won't kill you or do anything terrible.Originally Posted by atherjen
So enjoy it and have a bite of ice cream for me too since I'm off cheats for a while!!!![]()


they do have frozen yogurt that is much lower in fat.
