  1. A year ago, Breyer's Strawberry flavored low carb ice cream sucked. Now, I
    find it to be yummy. I'm guessing they fixed a problem with it, but it is
    possible that my perception of the taste has somehow changed.

    My favorite LC ice creams are by Dreyers. I buy the chocolate and vanilla.
    They have some other flavors that are very good, but some of them include
    trans fats. Be sure to read your ingredients.

    I prefer the Blue Bunny ice cream. Have you tried some of them?

    Yes, Blue Bunny is awesome!

    California was by the case, and they didn't stock the low carb varieties.

    My guess is that you actually tried two different products. Breyers
    has two types of Low Carb ice creams. One has 0 carbs, the other has
    4 carbs. The 4 carb stuff is pretty good, the 0 carb stuff is pretty
    poor. Strawberry comes in both versions.

    Could be some of both. There are two formulas with differeing levels of
    carbs, but I found that, as I got on with the diet, substitutes stopped
    sucking quite so much, and I could actually enjoy them. Of course, I
    also got to the point where I could eat an Atkins MRE bar with no
    "Ugh-Face", so maybe my taste buds were temporarily on hiatus. Hard to
    say.

    BTW, before he says it...

    I can only find Peanut Butter and the Vanilla Pecan. Do you see any other
    varieties?

    We only have Blue Bunny in bars here (that I've seen), my favorite being
    the chocolate covered vanilla ice cream bars. The good thing about them
    is they're also proportion controlled.

  11. Well,

    We discussed this before, but there is a difference between regular full
    sugar ice cream and low carb ice cream.

    While I was gaining, I strictly avoided ice cream, because I knew it made me
    gain faster.

    I though bowls of rice were the healthy thing to do.

    Rice is actually a standard in Body Building for mass building as it's
    considered a "clean" source of complex carbohydrates, along with
    oatmeal, whole wheat posta, baked potatoes and yams.

    It's ok to eat that stuff if you are burning it off in the gym.

    Pre-contest diets usually cut back on the carbs considerably but rice is
    nearly always kept in there.
