Miracle Ice Cream Diet

Hey, if all you eat in a day is a two slices of cheesecake, you're at ~1000 calories- well under the normal amount that even a dieting desk-tied non-exercising adult consumes in a day. Just don't expect to not be dizzy or violently ravenous in between.

I went on a fast food milkshake, ice cream, dessert and cereal diet a few years ago. I didnt mean to I just started craving calcium rich foods. I lost alot of weight ending at 115 lbs for my 5'5" frame. I even went to the doctor to find out if I was sick or something. Now I eat what I want and hardly eat any calcium and I've ballooned to about 150 lbs.

oh my god Allison that is not healthy at all. both of us have similar heights (I am 5'5 & 115) I really want to encourage you to drop down to your ideal weight (120lbs. is normal of your height) if you're craving calcium why not switch to skim milk, and low fat ice cream tastes just as good as regular!

Nadia, this isn't meant to be rude, but but who made you the all knowing buddha of what is a healthy weight for Allison or for anyone else? Let alone to tell her she isn't healthy? 115lbs might be fine for YOUR 5'5" frame, but it may not be for her. Do you know her muscle mass? Do you know her bone density? No? Well then...

I am asking you as a concerned person who DOES need to lose weight to please keep your judgmental comments to yourself. A LOT of these people who post on here are already ashamed of their own self image and are trying to do something about it. They certainly don't need knee-jerk reactions like yours to make them feel worse. If you are happy with your body, that is great. But, that does NOT give you the licence to make others feel ashamed of theirs.

Please word your future comments with a little more couth.

Right on Ali!

Ali and Michelle, I absolutely agree with you in the support of the uniqness of each one of us and the weight, of course. Nadia's saying about the encouragement to lose weight, not about that having weight of 150lb is a crime. We are all unique and sometimes we may wish to be slimmer or to gain some weight. You cannot judge Nadia, nobody has such ability. Also, dear Alison, I'm sure that if you have an aim to lose or to maintain the weight, YOU can achieve it,that's why there's a blog - to help each other out to solve OUR weight problems, to SUPPORT each other and to ENCOURAGE to achieve OUR OWN targets.

Bsck to Uma Thurman' idea. If the ice cream, pudding and chocolate were high quality products, except for the sugar content those things are high protien and low carbohydrate. That would spark the idea that it really might be that grain products more so than sugar are our enemy. I'm not encouraging a sugar pig out however. Just a thought. If you want something sweet,just make sure it isn't cake.

Hi everyone!

I lost over 100 pounds by eating chocolate... it's possible that the ice cream thing worked. But there are cravings in between... like every few days you crave mac and chease or something! but that's ok, cos you just eat what you like, in my case it was mostly chocolate. I realised that i'm not a child anymore, so i don't have to eat "sensible" food before i can have my chocy! I don't like sensible food anyhow... so i just went straight for the desert! it's not the healthiest way to lose weight, but i did... i dropped from 264 to 149 (my current weight) and i'm 5'9. I still eat whatever takes my fancy for that particular day: today was spare ribs and fries... so tomorrow i probably won't be that hungry, so it will be a bowl of oatmeal, or ice cream or whatever i wake up in the mood for... may even be chocolate!

The thing is, you deserve to be happy and not be afraid of your body... if you don't want to eat for days on end... then don't! and if you feel like eating 5 pieces of cheasecake on one day.... then do that! and if you follow your instincts, you will probably not be hungry for cheasecake the next day, but for watermelon, or apples, or WHATEVER! what i realised is that i was overweight because i was afraid of offending the world by not eating real food, and then eating all the chocolate i could get because i was so guilty for wanting it!

in the end, the best diet is conveyed in two simple words: F**K IT! eat what you like, no one's going to beat you up about it! (unless you have diabetes or something). Ultimately you find your own balance- WHEN YOU ARE READY!!!

Love and hugs to you all!!

i feel totally hopeless. i have tried every diet,,am on meds that the side effect is weight gain. people look at me and think all i do is eat and that is not the case. i wish i could just disappear but someone as big as me could never hide.

I wish i could help everyone lose weight, its not as hard if you have someone to encourage you. I know how it feels being fat and feeling ugly, but its not as hard to lose weight. Encouragement, Patience and a cheat day once a week is the way. Impatience and deprievation is the root of failure.

I tried the ice cream diet - that is what casued my weight problem in the first place. Now I follow a low glycemic index diet and feel great.

sorry, not to be disrespectful of anyone, but im a 14 year old high schooler reasearching this diet so, if anyone can tell me more about it, please.

I started the Dairy (Calcium) diet a week ago and have already lost 9 pounds all in my belly and I feel great! I am 5'4 and 197 so we all know that I need to loose the weight! I need the support from anyone I can. Thank you!

I just happened to come by this site while looking to see if any other cats, ate ice cream besides mine. A funny link to me here and after reading these comments, I choose to leave my own.
There is only one sure healthy way to loose weight and that is with diet and excersise. Change from three to six meals a day and make them smaller. Drink plenty of water and elevate your heartrate for at least 30 minutes a day. If all you are doing is walking, walk faster, but walk. Our mothers and grandmothers were thinner because they worked harder and they were physically active all day, we live in an age where we don't even have to stretch to turn the lights off, we can just clap or say "Off". I am 32 years old and like every one else, I struggle every day to keep weight off. If you want to maintain your weight, keep your calories per day around 2000 and if you want to lose, keep your calories around 1200-1400.

i do this!!! All the time!!! i'm 5"4 and 100 lbs, and some days, i just eat ice cream or chocolate as long as my calories don't go over 1500, then i wont gain weight!!

i look for the lowest calorie diet ice cream. An entire 1 litre container of sheer delite ice cream is only 480 calories. i'll eat the whole thing in a day, and have 1020 calories left over for other things!! Or, i can eat an entire family sized block of cadbury chocolate for about 1100 calories. Even if you don't want to eat like that all the time, for health reasons, a few junk food only days with a calorie limit of 1200-1500 WILL see you losing or maintaining your weight, NOT gaining!!

i still choose the diet options most of the time though, even on my junk food only days. Instead of real cheesecake, which is very expensive calorie wise, i make "chocolate cheesecake" by mixing an entire container of extra light cream cheese with weight watcher's hot chocolate powder. 360 calories and tastes just like chocolate cheesecake :)
