I Lost Weight and so Can You!
The story of a professional ice cream taster and tips for you.

While we’re on that subject, Ernie, congrats on your weight loss!

Yes, you can literally have your Turkey Hill Ice Cream and eat it too! I like that, Ernie, keep up the good work and congratulations on the 40 pound reduction.

Well, being i work full time in a hospital, (3-11 shift) i’m on my feet the entire time i’m there, taking vital signs, and answering call lights all night, so only get to sit for dinner break! Like a gym, only I get PAID!!

portion control is certainly the key to staying at a good weight. BUT… every once in a great while, everyone needs to pig out on a giant sundae loaded up with all kinds of toppings! it is essential to good emotional well being. )

You did not say what shape you are in. It could be like a muscleman or round like Buddy Hacket. My TH method is to just eat 4 or 5 teaspoons of TH Red Rasberry a night to stimulate my taste buds.

I agree with portion control. I just switch from fat free to the light and it’s delicious. As my mom and dad often remind me “Everything in moderation including moderation”.

I love the fat free ice creams and frozen yogurts! Still, I have to limit myself to the weekends or else. It is hard to control portions or seconds/thirds, etc.

SUE – Your “ice cream only” diet suggestion sounds like a great idea. Do you think you’d get tired of ice cream after a while? Is that even possible?

I really don’t have to watch what I eat, I’m thin and always have been, but the fat in ice cream is what I have to watch, I have high cholesterol so I have to be careful. Duettos are great and so are the sherberts. I do love ice cream and once I have some I can’t stop! Last night I bought Lemon Duetto. so far I had the cherry and mango tonight its the Lemon!

I had the Turkey Heill Lemon ice cream once, I think it must have been a Special Edition. It was SO GOOD that I check for it now EVERY time I stop at a Turkey Hill! When are you ever going to bring it back!?

Hey Ernie,, how bout we just ditch the “regular food” every day and eat Turkey Hill ice cream for breakfast, lunch & dinner and snacks? LOL A different flavor for every meal!

Thanks so much for the advice and the great ice cream. My favorite indulgence is a big bowl of Turkey Hill. I don’t feel guilty because it is so good and I am pretty good about moderation the rest of the day. I think everyone should stop for a moment to enjoy life, especially with a big bowl of Turkey Hill ice cream.

Your right Ernie, if you add exercise to your routine, you can eat Turkey Hill ice Cream and not gain weight. I Recently lost 50lbs. by modifying my diet and exercising regularly. I did not give up ice cream however.

Keep the blog coming, I enjoy all the useful information.

Tried the Mango Duetto today, tangy and good, never even ate a mango before, went by the comments here to try it! Don’t think I could drop that from my favorites and lose weight ever!

Whaddya know…so THAT’S where Ernie’s 40 pounds went…! RIGHT ON MY BELLY!
However…I cannot quit my Tin Roof addiction so I substitute one dinner with Tin Roof, or one lunch with Tin Roof..and then for snack time: yup, Tin Roof! Turkey Hill reigns SUPREME in my home. I’m a forever fan!

I try to watch what I eat in somewhat moderation. I was told to take vitamin D by my doctor. Us older woman have to make sure we’re getting enough calcium. This is a delicious way to add it to our regimen. It’s my excuse for eating ice cream daily… Like I really need an excuse…. LOL

“A half gallon serving.” That reminds me of a cartoon I saw not long ago involving a man and a giant ice cream cone.

this is very good news.
I will make sure to share it with my husband that he can have is Turkey Hill every day.
he is the ice cream monster in our house.
when we bought our refrigerator in 1979, the first thing he wanted was Ice Cream.

I also eat right. I only have one serving of Turkey Hill at lunch.
Usually just a half gallon serving.

We tried your fat free icecream for the first time this weekend. I honestly can not tell the difference! It is so rich and creamy!

Ernie you should write a book. “How a professional ice cream taster lost weight and how you can too!” The title needs a little work, but the idea is good.
