Types of Ice Cream to Avoid:
- Sugar-Free Ice Cream:
Contains artificial sweeteners that can harm gut bacteria, leading to inflammation and mood issues.

Often includes emulsifiers that can negatively impact gut health and metabolism.

Synthetic colors can cause oxidative stress and are not beneficial for health.

- Consider Sorbet: Often made with real fruit, making it a slightly healthier option compared to traditional ice cream.
- Limit Portions: Enjoy only one scoop instead of multiple scoops to reduce sugar intake.
- Treat Ice Cream as a Rare Indulgence: Keep it as an occasional treat rather than a regular part of your diet.

- Chew Regular Gum: Distracts from cravings without the negative effects of artificial sweeteners.
- Go for a Walk: Changing your environment can help break the cycle of cravings.
