Ate it loved it.
Only 130 calories a cup is almost half of what the bars have. And I cant stand any of the other low carb products. This is real and self limiting since it is stored in portioned cups.
Yum.

the choc. almond is my favorite, I've tried the vanilla and it is great with strawberries or blueberries, I have the cinnamon - just haven't opened it yet. It is funny because the 1/2 cup serving really is enough for me these days - when before a heaping bowl of 'real' ice cream wasn't!

It's called Pierre's ice cream. It has no sugar, is sweetened with Splenda, and comes in several really luxurious flavors. I bought "Moose Tracks" which is vanilla with sugar free peanut butter cups, and sugar free Moose Tracks fudge. 1/2 cup has 4 g carbs and 8 g fat. All I can say is, "OMG" I would eat this stuff even if I wasn't low carbing. It is really, really, REALLY good! The only problem is, it's hard to take only 1/2 c. I admit I went overboard yesterday and kept dipping into it, but I have control back today and will limit myself from here on out to 1/2 every other day. It will make it more of a special treat.

I found thier web page at http://www.pierres.com Unfortunetly there are no retailers in my state. It looks like it's mostly in the New England states and around that area so far. It does give the option to order online. 3 gallons are $79.95 but that price also includes shipping and handling. Considering the Atkins site charges an additional $50 or there abouts for cold shipping, that's not to bad.

The Slender comes in 8 flavores including :
Butter Pecan
Carmel Pecan
Chocolate
Crunchy Peanut Butter Cup (I want I want I want)
Moose Tracks (I want too)
Neapolitan
Strawberry
Vanilla

90-130 calories*

4-8g total fat*

3-4g dietary fiber*

14-17g total carbohydrates*

* per 1/2 cup serving
(depending on flavor)

I'm not seeing the 4g carbs you listed, it looks like the lowest it goes is 10 net carbs per 1/2 cup.

Sorry to torment you LadyBelle but the Crunch PeanutButter Cup is wonderful. Do you have a Kroger subsidiary near you, that is where I found it in Indiana.

There are sugar alchohol carbs, too. I was wrong with the 4 g. of carbs - once I deducted the fiber and sugar alcohols it was 6 g per 1/2 cup. Still not bad for a once in a while treat.

Sorry for the mis-information. When I went home and looked at the package I said, "Whoops, gotta go back in and remedy that tomorrow."

My kroger doesnt have the tortillas or le carb at least I can't find it. But I did find Pierres Slender low fat ice cream at Krogers. It has 8 net carbs for 1/2 cup. And they had moosetracks,butter pecan and others. I bought neopolitan . That and the plain flavors had the least carbs. Yummy. I am eating it right now.

This stuff is wonderful and could be better if someone could answer an Atkins question. The glycerin is 2 grams. I have heard that you subtract that. Is this correct ?

Yes you can subtract glycerin and sugar alcohols.

But sugar alcohols are notorious for stalling people. So if your losing comes to a halt, consider avoiding the products with sugar alcohols.

cinnamon is my fav =) haven't tried lemon though

This VERY much depends on which plan you're on (and everybody who's starting out should use a plan) because a lot of people are sensitive to sugar alcohols like they're sensitive to other carbs such as sugar and starch.

Experienced low carbers, for the most part, count sugar alchols by their calorie value. e.g., 1g maltitol is counted as 0.5g carb. The easiest way to do this is to plug the calories, fat, protein and declared total carb grams into the Hidden Carb inspector (nothing else) and hit Calculate. See the quick links over on the right of your screen.

Until you know how the sugar alcohols affect your health and your weight loss, it's best NOT to deduct them, and best not to eat them at all on Induction (the first two weeks while your body adjusts to a low carb lifestyle).

PS: the Newbies Questions forum is a great place to ask these kinds of questions -- not specific to a certain product.

Thanks a lot for the information. I am on Atkins and have completed 4 weeks of induction. This is not something I will eat often, just wanted the info for those "moments".

I practically LIVE on the stuff. No gains, no stalls. Chocolate Almond is the best. And the Vanilla is HEAVENLY!!! I don't care for the lemon though.

how much do you usually eat at a time? i pretty much polish off the whole carton if i get my hands on it- no self control! so good =)

yeah, i'm not a fan of lemon either
