I THINK I MAY HAVE FOUND A HEALTHY SWEET SNACK

Way too many carbs for me (and not the good kind).

I think that it'd be a horrible thing for me to eat.

I say that because I'm in weight loss mode with a long way to go remaining ahead of me.

I looked over at your starting weight of 277 and your current weight of 130 pounds and I say....."Heck yes.....roll with it !!!"

You've kicked arse and if those are what you want to eat.....then all things in moderation. You've lost 147 pounds.

Only you know whether or not you can eat something like this and not trigger bad eating habits.

Congrats on your weight loss results.

Too many carbs too little Protein. Try Halo top ice cream. Look at eatmeguiltfree.com

Also research splenda, its basically poison.

it's not the best thing for you but it's far from "poison"

I'd eat the whole box in a matter of days, lol.

I agree. Won't work for me.

Thanks for the advice everyone!!!! @@Dub where did you find this info?? I haven't input anything and I'm far from 130lbs[emoji30] my goal is 160-170lbs where I use to be. Only 55lb away[emoji4] I really need to look into this I use my phone to get online so I'm not even sure where to start. But I'll just eat in moderation when I have the sweet tooth. Definitely not the worst choice I'll say but understand there are better ones..

Sounds like that ice cream sandwich is a bad choice then if you are trying to lose. Snacks, in general, may be a bad idea. Just my opinion and I reserve the right to be wrong. :D

@@Dub I just updated....I'm sure you're right!!! I don't snack often but sometimes you know you need/want to so when that times come I'll have just one..I'm sure once my son find them in the fridge he'll help out, lol....

Oh yeah.....son's are good for "helping" us out, right ?

Sweets aren't my thing at all, so these wouldn't tempt me. However - Huz absolutely loves ice cream. And he has a problem with portion control. He's working with an RD (he isn't a WLS candidate, he has some medical issues which means having to keep his weight down and learn to watch portions) who actually suggested he find something that was pre-portioned that he could enjoy. He buys a big box of the Skinny Cow ones from costco and has one most evenings. They're working for him.

There is a lot to be said for pre-portioned servings in a case like this. As a sleever, though, I wouldn't make this more than the occasional treat, not enough nutrition for the room one would take up. That's the way I think about a lot of things these days, how much room a portion would take up inside a stomach the size of a banana.
