I used to be able to eat a whole pint of Ben and Jerry’s in one sitting, but I’ve found I can’t anymore(now a pint takes me 2 or 3 sittings). I have found that Blue Bunny brand ice cream is still good tasting, but not as filling. I haven’t tried their sugar free varieties, but I’d imagine those are pretty good too.
