How do I break my addiction to ice cream?

I want to break my addiction to ice cream, especially B&J phish food, but really any chocolate icecream would do, like carte d’or fever for chocolate. Somebody help me!

    Just stop eating it. When I wanted to become vegetarian, I just had to put my foot down and not eat meat. Eventually, the yearning for it fades away.

    Good luck (:

    don’t stop eating it completely. Just limit yourself. you think you are addicted, probably, because you crave it and then “binge”. Tell yourself you can have 5 spoonfuls a day. Then you will have it often enough that you won’t crave it.

    Don’t have any in the house, and pass the shops that sell ice creams on the other side of the street.

    ice-cream alternatives:

    1. Frozen yogurt
    Top of the list is frozen yogurt – ice-cream’s healthier cousin. It’s creamy, cool, delicious and doesn’t have that sticky, sickly feel some ice-creams can have. You can buy frozen yogurt at almost any supermarket or ice-cream parlor, and there are some fantastic varieties on the market: my favorite is Ben and Jerry’s Chocolate Fudge Brownie one. And because it can be easily served in a cone or sundae glass, you won’t feel like you’re missing out. (If you’re trying to get your kids to eat more healthily, try them on frozen yogurt too: they may not even realize it isn’t ice-cream…) Like regular yogurt, some frozen yogurts are full-fat and others are low-fat, so check labels.

    In 100g of a typical frozen yogurt:
    Calories: 170
    Fat: 3g
    Sugar: 26g

    2. Sorbets
    Another refreshing treat is sorbet: like frozen yogurt, this is sold almost everywhere that ice-cream is. Don’t just stick to lemon; branch out into some other flavors of sorbet … mango, blackcurrant and raspberry sorbets can be especially vibrant. Although fruit sorbets are the most common, there are other varieties: I’m very fond of chocolate sorbet (though it’s harder to find). Be aware that the sugar content of sorbets is high, if you’re watching your sugar intake.

    In 100g of a typical sorbet:
    Calories: 110
    Fat: 0g
    Sugar: 27g

    3. Frozen Fruit Bar
    You can also get your fruit in the form of a frozen fruit bar (called ice lolly in the UK), which is made from frozen fruit juice. There are loads of commercially available types, often sold in multi-packs at the supermarket. Many combine stripes of different fruit flavors. If you can wait a few hours, though, why not try making your own? You’ll need a set of moulds – available from most department stores – and a box of fruit juice. You can even freeze pieces of fruit into homemade lollies: strawberries work well.

    In a typical ice lolly (65ml):
    Calories: 60
    Fat: 0g
    Sugar: 16g

    4. Chocolate mousse
    My final ice-cream alternative might sound a bit odd: low-fat chocolate mousse. These are sold in small pots by most supermarkets (and several chocolate companies do their own varieties). Although they’re meant to be refrigerated, they freeze brilliantly, and if you’re a chocoholic like me, provide both the chocolate and the frozen-treat hit that you need…

    In a typical chocolate mousse (60g):
    Calories: 84
    Fat: 2g
    Sugar: 13g

    you could also try making yourself a diet plan or something, and they are lots on the internet for you to copy/adjust yourself. instead of ice-cream – choose healthier foods or just ice-cream that is a lot healthier (if you love it that much). they are some good alternatives :) or you could change your treats to salads/fruit/fruit bars and vegetables and just only have ice cream as a treat (see if you can stick to a strict plan or something). hope i helped x

    1. You can go to an an acupuncturist and have a permanent little acupuncture needle fitted on one earlobe. You wiggle on it whenever you crave ice cream and it takes your mind off it.
    or
    2. Paul McKenna, the UK hypnotist tells you to shut your eyes and visualise eating the food you crave and finding that you also have in your mouth at the same time say, mud, rotten vegetables or something worse mixed in with the ice cream. You shut your eyes and have to chew at the same time as imagining it. My daughter used the system to beat her curry craving and it worked.

    3. Google ‘Tapping Technique for cravings’ which is another Paul McKenna suggestion. It’s called EFT.

    Using those three, you’ll probably not want any more icecream (for a day or two).

    I’m the same way as you! I’m absolutely addicted to Phish Food, i so love them chocolate fishies and marshmellow swirls!!
    I had to limit it down to about once every 1 or 2 weeks though as it’s quite expensive
