Re: Ice Cream recipe?/Tea Ice Cream?

Joy dot: first full exercise session last night after being sick. It felt really good.

Welcome! I was born in Boston, grew up in Providence, went to college in Connecticut, and then lived in the Boston area for years. Now I live in New Mexico.

Joy dots are those little moments of joy you experience through the day. Many of us are training ourselves to notice those things, because they retrain our brain to focus on joy.

Most ice cream would definitely not be on this plan once someone is on step 7, since sugar and artificial sweeteners would be eliminated at that point. Up until that point, it's fine to have. I think people are looking for a program-friendly substitute - an ice cream sweetened only with fruit would work for some people, although not for everyone.

For now, enjoy your ice cream if you want to.

If you are getting enough protein from your yogurt, then it is fine for breakfast. I like to use greek yogurt, which has more protein. I use it as a supplemental protein. Do you know how to figure out how much protein you should be aiming for?
