There Is A New Diet Out Called The Ice Cream Diet

By James Steele


The Ice Cream Diet certainly has managed to stir up a lot of talk, lately. What is supposed to happen is you follow the diet recommendations, eat daily ice cream, and you will lose weight. In order to determine whether this diet is for real or not, we decided to review it and tell you the benefits and disadvantages it has.

The Ice Cream Diet is not low in saturated fats. You can eat cheese, meat and fish while on the Ice Cream Diet. Some "bad" fats have been found to actually be good for you if taken in moderation. Of course, you don't want to overdo it with any kind of fat, but the Ice Cream Diet is a rather low calorie diet, and if you follow its recommendations you won't be getting a very large amount of saturated (or any other kind) of fat. While the ice cream diet is not conventional, it may actually be healthier than any other you have tried.

Another side benefit of the Ice Cream Diet is that you'll be getting more calcium which is important for everyone, of course, but moreso for women. There is evidence that calcium not only supports bone health, but makes it easier to lose weight.

There are a lot of people who don't like dairy products, and if they start limiting their caloric intake, then they're setting themselves up for calcium deficiency as well as other important nutrients. Additionally, the Ice Cream Diet book discusses why you really want to get your calcium from eating good foods rather than becoming dependent on supplements. So what you can accomplish with this diet is meaningful weight loss while ensuring your body receives enough calcium each day.

When you study and understand the Ice Cream Diet approach, it's clear that the ice cream added to it is more for the catchy name than any other reason. The calorie targets are: Men, no more than 2,000 cals/day; and Women, no more than 1,500 cals/day. Plus, it's important that you engage frequent and meaningful exercise. You'll be expected to factor in the ice cream calories in your daily limit. It's obvious that the "ice cream," or whatever you substitute is fine as long as you do everything else. So you can see that the ice cream in the Ice Cream Diet is purely for marketing reasons.

The Ice Cream Diet is very appealing to many people, as it makes losing weight sound fun and easy. Eating ice cream everyday should make this diet eaiser and help you to adhere to the strict rules. We have dicussed the pros and cons of this diet and given them to you so that you can make an informed decision about the Ice Cream Diet.
