4 Carb Root beer float =]

[FatStar21]

Its a nice treat that is really satisfying. Settled my sweet tooth craving fast.

Just go to your grocery store and pick up a half gallon of Breyers Carb Smart Vanilla ice cream and a 20oz bottle of diet root beer pop (soda) Can use any flavor but root beer is the best. Measure out a half cup of icecream into a glass, pour in your root beer and grab a spoon! (I didnt even need a full half cup of icecream. Only 4 carbs! Enjoy!

It is not allowed because there is milk among the ingredients. Milk can only be introduced in the diary rung of OWL (Rung 2).

Plus, if you have a sweet tooth, it's better to use Induction to break your addiction to sweets rather than feed it with low carb ice cream.

This if from Atkins Diabetes Revolution, Chapter 18:

Dr. Atkins would often encounter patients who told him they were willing to try his approach, but just couldn't live without chocolate, or ice cream, or some other sugary treat. He would remind them that there are plenty of good low-carb versions of these favorites, but would also ask them to give up these foods, at least during the first few weeks. When the patients returned, they almost always told him how they no longer missed sweet foods.

That was a snotty answer.. I asked as a 'why are you using it on induction' kind of question.

Sorry if that is how you interpreted it. If I wanted to be snotty, I would have ignored your post...but instead I provided the induction foods link, which a lot of people haven't read, even though they think they are following Atkins. They don't read the book or the stickies, and they ask basic questions that are in the stickies, so I can presume they don't have the information provided in the stickies. So since the ice cream is NOT on the list, I presumed you didn't have the list. So I was just trying to help you. And if you don't have a sense of humor and took my reply the wrong way, that's unfortunate.

And Here's the Point--- I thought you were asking the question, "Is the Carb smart ice cream allowed on induction?" Since that is what you wrote.


I have provided several links and recipes to people when they need help, and they thanked me for my help.

I don't mind telling you, you have hurt my feelings. How was I to know it was an "'why are you using it on induction' kind of question."

And if you were asking the poster Is the Carb smart ice cream allowed on induction?--That could have been interpreted as snotty as well.

So let's all take a step back and get along.
