I Stopped Eating Ice Cream.... Here's What Happened

[@juliegolick]

I love that your husband is such a good sport in putting together these videos with you!

[@ThatAwkwardMom]

Me too!!

[@masxe]

Although this is a funny video, I think there’s actually a deeper message here about what others show on social media versus the reality. They can tell you all day they eat healthy, exercise daily, really just be perfect and say to have will power; but what actually happens when the camera is off is completely different. Don’t be too hard on yourself ❤ p.s. that cat melted my heart 🫠

[@hopegrable]

Man this is SO RELATABLE!!! Sugar is so hard to walk away from. When I started my weight loss journey back in '07, I was struggling with some serious anger. I was just angry all the time because I was seriously craving foods I wasn't supposed to eat. After a few months of this I was finally able to flip a switch in my thinking that I believe helped me stay on the path to a healthier lifestyle. I decided that maybe I had a right to be angry, but instead of being angry that I couldn't have these unhealthy foods, maybe I should be angry that I wanted them in the first place. We're taught from a very young age that food is a kind of reward. "If you're good in the store, you can have a candy bar." Or, "If you get all your chores done you can have ice cream for dessert." Food is not a reward, it's fuel. When I accepted this as the truth, I lost 85lbs and I've kept it off for more than 15 years. Ariel, if you can figure out how to kick the sugary treats to the curb now while your kids are little, you'll be doing them a HUGE favor. Save the sugary treats for very special occasions so your kids don't get hooked on them like we did. You're a kick-ass wife, a superhero mother of two, and you've conquered KZbin. You got this! ❤

As a type 1 diabetic I could much easier control my blood sugar if I lived alone. Sugar addiction is very hard. When it's in your face every day, at every get together or celebration, and you know you shouldn't have it, it's very difficult to control.

[@intherockies]

I bet it's difficult

[@oxigen85]

Oh yes! I'm so good at not buying "bad" foods for myself. And then my bf comes home with a bunch. "But you like it!" yes I do, but I'd like not being unhealthy more!

[@vickyb9918]

It’s difficult but not impossible.

[@darloonie9465]

@@vickyb9918 Yes, I know. I live it every day.

[@wolfe6220]

I'm only type 2, and I can eat healthy, but then ice cream... I'm addicted, I'll admit. I've managed to trade ice cream for no sugar added popsicles. Now if I can just wean myself off of those.

[@gigih.2169]

Sugar addiction is real. This is funny, BTW, I love your husband's participation in this video! They did a study with rats and cocaine testing addiction, and found the rats went to the sugar over the cocaine. Joking aside, excessive sugar in our diets can be pretty damaging long term to our health. We may feel good in our 30s, but by our 50s we could be facing many chronic health issues like diabetes. Best if we view sweets as occasional treats and not everyday foods. Same goes for all other candies, cookies, coffee sweeteners (that also contain junk additives and oils too). Sorry, I don't mean to harsh anyone's buzz, but when I entered my late 40s, early 50s, I had SO many health issues that basically came down to decades of bad food choices. I hate to see others go through what I did. I've since healed and have become pretty zealous for proper human nutrition and fighting food addictions.

[@merrivideo]

So true. That is why fast food restaurants add sugar to everything.

[@vickyb9918]

You’re so right.

[@vivianhudacek1556]

[@marabanara]

Everyone, please be careful in what you share. I absolutely agree that a healthy diet is the best thing, aside from exercise, you can do for your health. As a specialist cancer nurse who works with research too, I absolutely see how lifestyle factors can contribute to the development of some cancers, particularly ones like colorectal/bowel cancer. However, the idea that “sugar feeds cancer” has been debunked. There would be no harm if you give up sugar in an attempt to fend off cancer, but unfortunately some cancers still spring up, and many are genetic or tied to other diseases. The harmful side of this is watching my patients who are going through treatment or have advanced cancers who struggle to eat due to lost appetite start trying to give up sugar. It’s incredibly harmful, because these patients need every calorie they can tolerate or they waste away. It’s heartbreaking to see them insist their family member or friend told them that sugar is feeding the cancer, when we know that’s just a distorted view of oncogenesis. Yes, ALL our cells use energy (ATP) to grow and multiply. Cancer cells are by definition out of control, immature cells multiplying too soon and too fast. So of course those cells intake a lot of energy. But that is NOT the cause, it is not what triggers the out of control multiplication. And while Keto can absolutely help some people, it is not for everyone. Please speak to your GP/primary care healthcare provider, or ask a certified nutritionist/dietitian. Please. (Loved the video, though!!)

🤣 That eye twitch was the same one I had Wednesday, when we decided to delay coffee until 10 am, when our financial advisor came for a visit! 😂😂😂

[@lucystrider728]

You guys are the best eyetalkers on the internet! So much fun! I recently learned to like my coffee with no sugar or artificial sweeteners, as I am experimenting with cleaning up my diet in ways I can stick with. I have it with organic cinnamon, cacao, and 1/2 cup milk over ice. First sip I always notice hey, it is not sweet! Then, I enjoy the other flavors, get the wakeup going, and run around getting my morning chores done. Then I realize it tasted great and my house is clean and there is no sugar crash. I have lowered carbs in general, substituting sauted vegetables for bread/potatoes some meals and take a walk every day without fail. I still usually have a small sweet after dinner, but now portion controlled because I am a master at underestimating how big my serving was if I "guess". Your icecream battle is so, so true!

Awww! What a precious kitty hug!

[@jettqk1]

This is an amazing parody of those videos of people giving up things for a week or a month and seeing what happens. I always love your videos! Also. BTW, where'd you get those old-school ice cream cartons? I haven't seen cartons like those in probably 35 years.

[@ThatAwkwardMom]

Stewart's ice cream!!! One of my favorites!

[@elainebacon5208]

We used to go through a carton of ice cream a week when my kids were young. Funny thing after my oldest son went off to college, I found three cartons of ice cream in the freezer untouched. He was the one eating it all!

[@ThatAwkwardMom]

Lol!

[@pama.6410]

You are just so funny! Love the contrast between the commentary and the reality. If you have to have an addiction, I can think of a lot worse.

[@freeride7371]

I appreciate the honesty in this video.

[@HumbleVoyager]

This was funny, but sugar is evil. I wish I'd learned that in my 30's because my 60's are much harder because I didn't. Thanks for the video. I really enjoy watching.

[@TRuth.T]

Sugar ,is more addictive than heroin 😮

[@cheykath]

Will there be a sequel? 😂🤣 You and your husband are so cute together! Love it!

[@lisaseverance6785]

My dad had a dish of ice cream every night for a majority of his life. No toppings. Just the ice cream.

[@ThatAwkwardMom]

Sounds like a great life!! I don't have intentions on ever "quitting" again 😜

[@ElephantShoe..]

My dad too! It was always vanilla and he had the bowl overflowing too!

[@julietannOsfan1972]

Brilliant. You & your husband are so funny together. In some of this video I was laughing out loud. 😀 By the way, I also love ice cream but I’m unusual in that I like it more in the winter than in the summer. When I eat it on a hot day it makes me too thirsty.

[@amberklein1560]

🔴When learning about the creation of the FDA in my Highschool history class, the text book pointed out that if the FDA had been created only ten years earlier, refined sugar would have been classified as a drug-- a controlled substance. But at that point the addiction was so wide spread, it wasn't possible to regulate it. Wow. I went without ANY sugar for a year... A YEAR! What was interesting is that when I tried refined sugar again, no matter what form, it didn't taste good. I realized that sugar was an acquired taste in response to my physiological reaction to it. It doesn't actually taste pleasant. -Anyway, I think I want some Ice-cream now. Great video.

[@Endolei]

This is an interesting note, because while I use it in cooking and am def use to the taste, I do *not* like the smell when I open the cannister at all. It's odd. :p

[@elizabethhouser3357]

Your videos help me and my son very much! Sitting nursing two kids made me lose so much muscle tone. I related to getting out of breath walking kids to school. Napping, nursing babies lowered my activity greatly. I am prioritizing keeping myself in shape to have the energy to take care of my family.

[@shellym79]

Icawtk take a very ripe banana cut it up, put in freezer, once frozen put in blender w a touch of any liquid you like not too much just enough to get the blender to do it's thing. This alone is delicious. But add some cocoa powder and/or vanilla and yum. Get some peanut butter 🤤. Can literally add whatever toppings you want. Is it going to raise your bs? Yes. It's a banana. But is it healthier than I'ce cream? Also yes. I think everyone should try it at least once. It's so good.

[@jocelynsmyth6604]

I love square ice cream! It's hard to find here now. You and your hubby are so cute together btw ❤

[@Cazzie4ever]

Ariel, your cuteness is off the charts. I only buy a small cup a day, or else I'll eat a whole carton in one sitting.

[@Vivie357]

Yeah, this is me with cola. Quitting is super easy, I mean I've already done it at least 20 times...

[@crybebebunny]

I gave up most of the cola in my life by treating myself to Mexican Cola once a week on single bottle. Then everyother week. Now, I have cola just on special ocasiones and very special occasions Mexican Cola. My favorite cola was the Pword. I found out that they used human cells to get us more addicted. I pretty much quit that brand cold turkey. I found some other brand tasting very close. Using the Mexican cola as a special treat helped me other than finding out about turning us into caníbales.

So cute! I used to be a chocolate addict and after some lab test that scared me, I revamped my diet. One of the things I got out of my diet was good old chocolate. Once it was out of my diet, I stopped craving it. I feel like I'm out of prison. No more pull to eat it now.

That was the only good thing about being pregnant. Didnt have GD with my 3rd, thankfully, but that meant i didnt get daily ice cream.

[@imlistening1949]

Yesterday was going to pick up fix'ns for a banana split, haven't had one in years. When it came to the chocolate sauce, I was shocked! High Fructose Corn Syrup was listed at the top, then imitation chocolate. What in the world is imitation chocolate, this was a product made by a well-known manufacture in the US. Then looked at the whip cream, everything went back on the shelves. When it comes to food choices a person really needs to read the labels. Phew just looked at my yogurt it's good. Cheers

As truly funny as this video was, I feel kind of sad because white sugar is a literal drug, it is processed by your body as poison.

They're young enough that you can turn things around for them! ❤

The ice cream addiction is real! 😂 I grew up having ice cream every night for dessert and I kept that habit through adulthood. But we recently have had to cut out most preservatives for behavioral issues with our kids. So we've been using our ice cream maker and making our own... My cravings for it are gone now! We still enjoy it once or twice a week as dessert, but it's definitely not the addition it once was.
