Once upon a time in the not too distant past, there was a ‘diet’ ice cream that was being sold in New York City.\u00a0 It was only 90 calories per serving and boy-oh-boy was it delicious!<\/p>\n

People loved it, and because it was so low in calories, they made it a part of their day.\u00a0 A part of each and every day!\u00a0 Sometimes, twice a day!<\/p>\n

AND … At the end of the week, when they climbed upon the Scales of Injustice, they were surprised to see their numbers climbing, as well – up – up – up!<\/p>\n

A loud cry from all, “Why? Why hath the Goddess of Diet Ice Cream forsaken me?”<\/p>\n

Was the calorie count off?\u00a0 Were the ice cream folk not telling the truth?\u00a0 No!\u00a0 The ice cream folk were on the up n’ up, the calorie count was accurate.\u00a0 But …<\/p>\n

BUTT (as in big BUTT), the generous Ice Cream Servers filled up the ice cream cups way past the 3 ounce mark.\u00a0 While coming from a kind and generous place that extra, pretty swirl cost the ‘dieters’ plenty!<\/p>\n

At the end of their week, instead of ingesting 5 cups of ice cream at 90 calories, equaling 450 calories, people were ingesting between 900 and 1350 calories.\u00a0 Without knowing it that extra pretty ice cream swirl was sabotaging their weight loss efforts.<\/p>\n

Moral of the Story:\u00a0 If it’s too good to be true, it IS too good to be true!<\/p>\n

Spread the word \u2026 NOT the icing!<\/em><\/p>\n
