[QUOTE="IanD, post: 327979, member: 6186"] "Value" icecreams are 15-20% carb (mostly water) so a 50 ml portion will have no more carb than 1/2 a slice of bread. Have a smaller portion, & add cream & satisfy your cravings. Check thatthe icecream you buy has less than about 20% carb - & don't eat too much. The addition of cream will not adversely affect your blood glucose, but will be more sustaining, so you are less likely to feel hungry after. You have to get your energy from somewhere, & weight for weight fat provides nearly twice the kcals as carb, & takes longer to digest. You can add flavour with a little cocoa or no-added-sugar squash. [/QUOTE]
