First time buying this. Anyone else trying or tried it? It appears to be same amount of carbs and Protein as regular yogurt... So it seems harmless

I’ve had it, but it has sugar alchol, which I really don’t like. Just exercise good portion control because it won’t fill you up

Thanks,
Turns out it was too hard and cold I could even bother to try it. IDK what I was thinking its still winter. Back in the freezer until summer...

I tried a few flavors and didn’t like the texture or the after taste. But the Yasso frozen Greek yogurt is awesome. I have one occasionally and it’s the closest thing I’ve found to real ice cream plus it’s got protein.

I love Halo Top. It is the only ice cream I can eat. I have the chocolate and chocolate mocha chip. Those two are my favorite.

I do not care for the other flavors though.

I have to be careful and measure it out. It gets the sweet craving out of the way. The down side for me : It's easy to eat the pint and make it a meal. Ice cream is my weakness/kryptonite

The smartest thing to do post sleeve is to get sweet foods including sweet tasting foods out of your life. It isn’t that hard, when you are right after surgery. Then, in the coming months as you learn to eat again, your intestinal community of bacteria, your gut biome, will be populated by the kinds of bacteria who don’t crave sugary tasting stuff. Which means you won’t crave sweets. If you eat sweet things still, you’ll have a much harder time avoiding them, because your gut population affects your brain and your cravings to get the foods THEY want. They do need starchy carbs. But the right kind. The good kind, they are fine with carrots, potatoes, beets, beans, seeds and nuts.

We would do well to use this special post surgery time to change WHAT we eat. Add probiotics, fermented foods, and drop the sweet tasting things. Just a suggestion that I am trying. Cravings are too powerful. I’m happy to have lost them.

I changed what I ate well before surgery and so the only thing I had to give up was bread and seltzer water.
I don't eat junk foods but I wanted an ice-cream alternative to keep around because realistically I'm going to eat it again at some point during the summer and I wanted to try it out at home instead of outside incase I reacted weirdly to it. This one interested me because it has a higher protein amount and chicory in it (which has a fibrous laxative effect on me )
I don't eat refined sugar gave those up a year ago but I still eat raw honey, stevia, pure maple syrup, cacao, dark chocolate etc and have no plans on giving them up because this is my diet for life and my NUT has helped me worked them into my plan

We get this every once in a while. A couple flavors I wasn't a fan of, but others I enjoyed. It's a nice alternative. I like ice cream but was never a fanatic about it where I needed it all the time (pre-surgery life at least). This is nice to have from time to time when I do feel like a treat.

Hi, everyone. What's the best Halo top flavor?

Where can you buy Halo Top Ice Cream? Is it a health food item or can it be bought at General supermarket, Target or Wal-Mart? You've piqued my curiosity.

Most main supermarkets will have it. They only come in pint sized containers. Unless you can find it on sale it's a bit pricey, but it's worth it. Most pints are 320 calories and less for the entire thing. Upside is it actually has protein in it as well and the carbs aren't horrible.

is it ok to eat low or non fat yogurt after surgery and during the post op weeks?

I was wondering about ice cream too. I just love love love ice cream

I adore Halo Top. The mint chip, salted caramel, and red velvet are my favorites. My kids even eat it and like it.

I haven't tried that brand, but my nutritionist suggested ENLIGHTENED Ice Cream , high protein and high fiber while being low sugar and low fat.
