Artic Zero ice cream?

[AriRuns]

I almost feel like it's too good to be true...140 cals for the entire pint? It must either a) be chock full of a bunch of chemicals and additives, or b) taste like ****. Lol

Has anyone tried it, have any thoughts? Is it a worthwhile effort to go out and try it? And what are the best flavors?

[shesprints]

Well, it's definitely not Paleo.

Thought you were all about the whole foods and no grains or beans?

It couldn't be that like so many "Paleo" enthusiasts, you really just want an excuse to restrict carbohydrates and calories. Naaaah. You just want to slam a whole pint of fake ice cream because you're so satisfied and well-nourished on Paleo.

That said, truthfully, it's fairly benign as far as additives go. Some studies have shown the calorie count is higher than advertised, but its chief sweetener is plain old cane sugar, plus some monkfruit extract--it's not full of additives. It IS full of weird fiber from the guar gum, which can bloat you if you eat the whole thing. Not the best idea to do that. I used to eat whole pints when I was eating disordered. So I know whereof I speak.

"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to shesprints again."

Pretty sure everyone who reads this thread is experience the same problem as me, hurry up and get off spread already!

[AlwaysTryin]

you can't call it ice cream, it's ice

[ErikTheElectric]

Tastes like sh*t. Don't waste your money.

[Karn235]

Just eat some frozen yogurt from chapmans taste exactly like icecream srs, and top of it with sliced bananas and other fruits to add volume.

I wouldnt try that stuff and isnt it really expensive?

[Shredthetics]

Loveeee that c&c on a diet..
Definitely not real ice cream but great for what it is.

[OminousShadow]

It's literally frozen whey. No thanks jeff.

[n0useforaname]

1. It's expensive for what it is...
2. Most of it tastes like crap...
3. Cals are higher than advertised...

Aside from that, I honestly did enjoy the chocolate though... but I'm also that guy who likes the taste of gluten free cheese, church bread, etc...

[bah01001]

Cookies and Cream flavor isn't too bad...not a huge fan of the PB chocolate one

As some have said above, it makes me feel bloated and doesn't always agree with my tummy but overall, it is good for my sweet tooth when cutting

[SouthDakotaBrah]

would try it but I'm not rich or anything

$5 for 150 calories

da fuk

I guess on the bright side, the calorie count is higher than advertised, so maybe it isn't so expensive after all, IDK

I make enough to afford and it doesnt matter if this chit was free. you can replicate the taste by going into your refrigerator and chewing on an ice cube after putting it in your pants. i imagine it would taste about hte same

[davidolson22]

Buy a regular ice cream sandwich. It's only about 150 calories, and it's premeasured so you won't grab too large of a serving.

[Jcart159]

Rather eat a tub of greek yogurt. Taste better, and has vastly better macro profile.

I would literally have to gag down some of that arctic bull****.

This is what I was thinking too... same price as one of the big six serving tubs of fage, except the greek yogurt would taste better and have much better nutrition. Greek yogurt + almond milk + cocoa + stevia + flavoring extract and placed in the freezer for 15-30 minutes is a much better option if you want ice cream IMO

edit: just remembered OP can't have dairy because its not paleo

lmfao

never mind

Dafuq is gluten free cheese?

I have yet to find any cheese WITH gluten.

[PBateman2]

Had it once. Tastes like cardboard.

My wife has a gluten, dairy, and soy free diet as of right now... I probably meant to say dairy/soy free but didn't really care enough to actually think about it. And on another note.. all the time I see random things like ice cream, syrups, dairy products, etc.. that say Gluten free... and I don't understand why. Heck.. my daughter got a necklace making kit.. just plastic beads and rope that had HUGE letters in bold saying: Wheat and Gluten free

[Nakmuay87]

Didnt a lab do tests on this product and find out its actually full of chit and not as it says on the tub

[nicholina]

WASNT THE OP JUST POSTING YESTERDAY ABOUT WHICH PALEO CHEATS WE APPROVE OF?!?!??!
Now this? Not even paleo or closely related.

OP, eat what you want. Why make endless threads about which foods we do and don't approve of??

[Jcart159]

OP, eat what you want. Why make endless threads about which foods we do and don't approve of??

Sadly, because that is the crux of diets like Paleo. Arbitrarily sticking to a list of "approved" food items without any knowledge as to why. You just hear that other Cavemen aren't eating it, therefor you cant.

[gbullock32]

People love validation to their method, no matter how flawed.

Well it isn't 150 calories anyway

LOL I'm not the only one

It's pretty good I just go with low fat eddy's because I can swing it though. Its just expensive to get artic zero all the time. I liked the peanut butter and cookies and cream one.

Let me guess; you're the paleo-eating crossfitter from a few days' posts ago.


Why don't you give up your nonsensical nutrition notions, and just eat normally?

[OldS0ul]

I've always been tempted, but until yesterday never bit the bullet as I couldn't justify the cost..
Well I tried it, and I can honestly say, it tastes like watery frozen crap, save yourself the money.

[legitsrs]

Almost 5 dollars for 150 calories of watery ice cream, meh.
