Question
I recently found a low-fat no sugar (splenda flavored) ice cream. Is it okay to eat on the South Beach diet?
Yes, it's okay as long as you only eat a half cup per day. A half cup is a lot smaller than you think it is. One easy trick is to buy half cup size Gladware or Tupperware containers, and as soon as you get home with the ice cream, freeze it in the small containers. That way, you aren't tempted to give yourself just a little extra every time you have ice cream.
