Is The Ice Cream Diet For Real Or Too Good To Be True?

By Ron Stucky


Believe it or not, but the Ice Cream Diet has been turning a lot of heads, lately, and for a lot of reasons, too. The creator mentioned, in Prevention magazine, that you'll experience the weight loss you need and be able to chow down on ice cream each day. We really wanted to know what was up with this diet, and we found out; so keep reading to hear our review of the Ice Cream Diet.

We were a bit taken back when we read that the approach with the Ice Cream Diet is one of low caloric intake each day. Aside from your daily allotment of ice cream, you have to stick to mainly fruits, vegetables, lean meats and other high quality protein. What the ice cream represents is a built-in reward system for being disciplined about your diet. There are components of ice cream that contain something of value to the human body. Milk products are a good source of protein, as well as calcium. Therefore, that added dairy component adds more nutrition than you will have if you adhered to other more strict low calorie diets. This can help you to stick with it long enough to get results.

Many people assume that the only way to stomach this diet is to add the icecream to less desirable ingredients. Calcium content may be what you need to lose weight. Studies incdicate that calcuim is essential for weight loss. Fat is burned more efficiently when you consume calcium. Calcium supplements are always an option, but calcium rich foods are better for you. The Ice Cream Diet recommends that you do regular exercise.

People can work against their own efforts simply by consuming too few calories plus eliminating dairy products. What is also covered in the Ice Cream Diet book is why it's important to obtain calcium more from foods than from external supplements. The Ice Cream Diet gives you a way to lose weight while consuming enough calcium every day.

Even worse, people who only hear about it and don't actually study the diet may conclude that ice cream isn't fattening. The thing is a lot of people will embark on something without doing the necessary homework. Like most diets, the Ice Cream Diet advocates that you restrict your calories and get regular exercise.

You can lose weight with the Ice Cream Diet, and you'll have to do your part just like with any other diet. Also, should you decide to "cheat" on the amount of daily ice cream, then don't be surprised if you gain weight or don't lose it. This diet allows you to lose weight, get healthier, and give yourself a daily treat along the way. Cool, we think.
