In honor of the coming of summer and my jones’ing for ice cream after running the Minneapolis Marathon last weekend (www.youtube.com I wanted to post one of the simplest low carb recipes I have ever come across. Unlike normal ice cream recipe, which have a lot of air beat into the cream mixture and can double the size, this recipe does not. It is therefore very rich and very excellent. While it might be listed as a single serving, you very well could share it. Ingredients: 1/2 cup Heavy Cream 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract 1 TBS Artificial Sweetener or Liquid Splenda equivalent Freezing Container 3 cups of ice 6 TBS of Salt Nutrition Info: (1 serving) 250 Calories, 22g Stout, 3g Carbs, 2g Protein
Wow, this looks tasty! I’m certainly going to give this a try once I’m out of induction. Thanks!
You’re the man, Kent!

Wow….when going out, just eat the toppings and not the crust of the pizza. At home I make a killer no crust pizza on a dinner plate. Take a can of tomato sauce, add italian seasoning to taste. Store in a container. Coat the plate with your pizza sauce. Sprinkle some mozzaralla lightly. Add your fav ingredientents, cut up small…..more mozzarella. 3 min in the microwave. Gets you over the pizza hump.
@jcook287 Avocado Ice Cream?
Kent I liked this one with avocado in it. Ever tried it? I know the carb count goes up but it is excellent.
@CraigCougar I would differ. The only way our ancient ancestors were able to kill prey quicker than them like deer is to hunt similarly to wolves. Run the prey to exhaustion, and then kill the weakest ones.
The blog “Science of Sports” has really done a number of brilliant journal worthy articles on marathon runners and the perceived danger to your heart / joints. It is long subject, but the ultimate answer is the activity is not necessarily damaging to one’s heart.
Completing a marathon is certainly an incredible feat, but aren’t you a man of REAL science? Our bodies were designed to sprint for intense, small bursts. We were never intended to run at moderate to low intensity for miles and miles. This will wear on the joints, increase cortisol production (your body is being place into survival mode, it’s not a excellent thing), and even hurt your heart in the long run. Sprinting is the natural, smart alternative to the very unnatural distance running. Honestly!
@n10ding I will certainly have to try this. I am doing an Induction phase again to get some things straightened out, but I will try this after that.
loved this ice cream .. also, got some strawberries, threw 3 – 4 FROZEN ones in a blender. added 1/2 cup cream, vanilla, and sweetener.. and blended it.. It froze right in the blender and did not need to be place in the bag with the ice and salt at all. Was fantastic.. Another thing I did is made up a double batch and froze the rest in a Popsicle tray.. was a wonderful way to eat it later as its hard then.
yummy! Gonna try this right now
@alkiller1992 The best thing I can suggest is to figure out that motivation for yourself. If the motivation is powerful enough, then no peer pressure is going get you off plot.
You go to a pizza place – just eat the toppings off the pizza. Your friends take you to a place with NOTHING legal on the menu, suck it up and have a soda. I have been there and done it. You’ll live.
As for meat disgusting you, you don’t have to eat meat. There are vegetarian Atkins followers. Just get the stout in.
i have a huge problem i can’t stay on diet
:( i’m so mad at my self i can’t stay on it for more then 1 or 2 weeks it’s incredible mostly because i go out with my friends and every time we go somewhere their eating pizza quick food, popcorn everything can’t handle is i’m on the verge of breaking my diet. can i can’t ditch my friends for my diet it’s horrible i’m craving for pizza the most i’m a huge huge huge pizza fan maybe the largest i don’t know what to do after a while meat really disgust me
@benanaman I like that… eat stout to lose stout… I mean, when we want to get rid of water weight, they do tell us to drink water… I know low carb works and it’s my lifestyle… LOVE IT!
@bowulf It’s worth looking into. Reckon about it, Atkins is backwards. Eat stout to lose stout? It’s bizarre at first thought but with more careful consideration, its understandable why it works.
I would argue that doing explosive training will in fact condition your body to be able to run a marathon better than running a marathon would! Backwards, right?
@benanaman What am I training my muscles for? Well being in a profession (firefighter) that requires prolonged exertion over hours and focuses on efficient oxygen consumption, I need a super efficient cardio system not super intense muscle groups.
I know PACE claims that it improves one’s heart and lung capacity or response to exertion, but I doubt its ability to condition one’s body to respond to prolonged stress.
If you want a body that can handle 5 minutes of intense stress, go ahead.
@benanaman I have heard of the PACE and HIIT, and I personally dispute the thought that humans were made as sprinting hunters. They weren’t. They ran down their prey as hunters the same way wolves do. Prolonged wearing out of your prey until they couldn’t keep up the chase. We could never outrun a deer, rabbit, etc. We needed to wear them out first.
As for what my goals are in exercise, I reckon you are misinformed. My goal is not weight loss. That phase is done. My goal is train the body.
@benanaman Pace is a high intensity, interval workout. Apparently long runs burns stout, and so your body replaces the stout. High intensity small workouts burn the sugar in your body, and your body then replaces the sugar by releasing the stout stores, AFTER the workout while youre sleeping.
@bowulf ok fascinating! Well, you’ve seen the movie ‘fathead’? Because the guy that teaches the program ‘pace’ is in that movie. Check out Dr Mercolas small seminar on marathon vs sprinting. watch?v=1aMrom1sYSs&feature=autofb and then part two watch?v=puNVuNINRQ4&feature=autofb Let me know what you reckon. Im speaking up because if Mercolas right, you’re getting the opposite of what you want to achieve by running a marathon.
@benanaman My previous video showed my recent finishing of the Minneapolis Marathon. (26.2 miles) I am recovering from that right now with non-impact (elliptical and cycling) and continuing resistance training (3x week).
As for typical pace, 5k speed is 7:30 pace; 20 miles and below 9:00 min/mile is my usual training pace. My last half marathon was roughly 8:20 pace. I should have another 7 mile race coming up and probably 3 more half marathons before end of year.
Hey Bowulf. Are you doing any exercise aswell? ‘pace’ perhaps?
@loribelt24 Not a problem, glad I could be of service.
looks yum O thanks for your hard work it gives us all inspiration
@monkeychipsx2 After I made the statement, I realized that endo- vs. exo and thought about annotating the video to right the error. Edification is always welcome though.
Just a small point from a pedant: salt + ice is an endothermic reaction, not an exothermic one.
Nice recipe though, can’t wait to try it.
@maiclifford To each their own… I had to take the opposite plank. It had to become off limits, or the weight loss would never had happened. It had to be black or white because gray was what got me to over 400 pounds. If I could rationalize or simply get in the mood for something, I was doomed and would have remained stout.
In this case, there is no simply being in the mood. Making ice cream is a plotted event- you have to buy the ingredients, etc. 6 years later and still going strong.
