    Wink Ice Cream anyone? Don't hate me!!!!

    Anyone crave ice cream?

    I've posted this before, but I'll say it as a lead in to my recommendation....

    I'm flirting with a number that my Dr. says I should not pass. 185 lbs is where my Dr. feels I am too thin and will need to take steps to stop weight loss. I am currently lying about my weight so that I don't have to hear my wife say I'm too thin. I am currently 187 (2 pounds from doom I guess)! But I tell everyone I'm 189 or 191.......... Dr. told me to have some ice cream at night to slow my weight loss.

    So, here's the rub,,,,, I can't eat regular ice cream, I thought maybe I had developed a lactose intolerance, but ice cream makes me feel downright awful. But, I think it has to do with the high fat content and maybe the crap they put in ice cream.

    So now my revelation / recommendation

    Halo Top Ice Cream!!!!

    https://www.halotop.com/

    It is awesome, and relatively low in fat, sugar, and a decent source of protein. It is really good. A pint is only 240 - 350 calories depending on flavor. I can't eat much more than a 1/4 of a pint in one sitting ( only about 80 calories!!!!!) , but it is good stuff and not that bad for you. So, if your looking for an ice cream fix, check it out.

    This definitely gets 10 out of 10 stars for me!

    Some of you are probably going to hate me for this post, but oh well.
    LOVING MY NEW LIFE!!!!

    "Never take life to seriously, no one gets out alive anyway!"

    Remember, in this thing, it's a good thing to be a loser!

    You deserve to have your ice cream and eat it too! I am not big on ice cream but I have had the Halo Top and it was delicious. My PCP also told me I needed to stop my weight loss even though I am still in the normal range. He said I was starting to look too thin. I am comfortable where I am.

    I wish we had half the products here in Europe, that you have over there... :-(
    English is not my first language anymore, so I may and do make mistakes in my spelling, or say things oddly. Please ask me, if you want any clarifications.

    Halo Top is definitely the leader in the clubhouse. However, others are starting to recognize the market and making their own version.

    That said, BJs wholesale club has a four pack of Birthday cake for under $12 and this month they included a $2 coupon. So for less than the price of two pints I got four pints.

    After seeing you photo, eat ice cream. I might hate you, but only because you have to work to gain weight. Life's not fair. (But go you!!)
