Fave flavor of ice cream?? ?Comment below! ?

For years I only ate the “healthy” protein ice cream & got so excited because I “could” eat the whole pint. To this day I see graphics on IG showing how many pints of the low cal option you could have in place of the real deal. Imma let you in on a couple secrets….
.
1️⃣ That is honestly like comparing ? to ?. They are NOT the same in so many ways. The stuff on the left will never compare to the stuff on the right. They’re different.
.
2️⃣ When we have the low cal, “healthier” alternatives & focus on “Look how MUCH you can eat!” we are really doing ourselves a disservice because we’re losing touch with our true hunger, fullness and satisfaction. This is why when you do finally “allow” yourself the real deal ice cream you have NO idea how to stop. It’s almost like we condition ourselves to fill our stomachs to the brim because it “fits” within our calories, macros or diet plan.
.
Not saying that the stuff on the left is inherently “bad”. I don’t judge someone if they want something lighter & not as sweet or rich or they do genuinely enjoy the taste. Just be honest with yourself in your WHY for picking it. ❤️We shouldn’t feel guilt, stress or anxiety around the real deal option… that doesn’t signal a food preference that signals a food rule.
.
For me? I stock my freezer with regular ice cream. I enjoy it most. It’s what satisfies me. As an intuitive eater I don’t feel out of control around it, guilt, or binge eat it. It’s just normal…. & can we talk about how my wallet also likes it? (That “protein ice cream” is expensive!)
.
Also… ? you CAN eat anything. You CAN eat pints & pints of the real deal but… as an intuitive eater you stop more to ask if you WANT to. Would that be actually satisfying? Would it feel good? That’s how you guide your food choices & amounts.

FYI → Today is the LAST day to enroll in The SociEATy, where you learn how to stop dieting for good and make peace with food + body. There are over $1,000 of bonuses & next time enrollment opens the price will be higher. Been thinking of really diving into intuitive eating & doing the dang thing? This is your sign!!! Link in bio!
