Most people don't realize that you don't have to sacrifice ice cream to lose weight. In fact, including ice cream as a part of your everyday foods combine with a good diet plan can help you lose weight and keep it off.

Fad diets should be avoided at all cost and any diet that emphasizes eating ice cream ONLY is unsafe and unbalanced, better known as a fad diet. However, you can have ice cream as part of your everyday diet plan.

The best ice cream to eat is sherbet. One serving (1/2 cup) of sherbet is 100 calories or less depending on the brand. Low fat ice cream or light ice cream is the other alternative to sherbet. Light ice cream taste very good and is usually 130 calories or less. The trick is to keep your serving of ice cream or sherbet to 1 serving.

You can also have ice cream or sherbet between meals as a snack as well as lunch or dinner. As long as you stay within the calorie limitation that will cause weight loss. For women that means consuming between 1200 and 1400 calories per day. Most men can lose almost 2 pounds a week on meal plan between 1500 and 1800 calories per day.
