The Rocky Road Heaven Ice Cream is the New 'Treat Day Favorite'!

The other night (on our Treat Day) Annie and I both indulged in a Rocky Road Heaven ice cream.

Heaven ice creams are similar to Magnums (my former favourite Treat Day food) but I find the ice cream in Heaven ice creams a bit creamier.

I had seen the new Rocky Road flavour being advertised around the shopping centres quite a bit lately but I waited until our Treat Day before launching in and trying one.

I can honestly say it was well worth the wait! They are absolutely delicious! Some people might find them a bit rich but as a Treat Day food I think they're great!

It contains creamy chocolate ice cream with jelly pieces in the middle. This is covered by a thin layer of marshmallow and the hard chocolate coating contains crushed nuts and coconut. It is definitely heaven on a stick!

Now I know this website is all about weight loss and there are plenty of principles to employ in order to get the weight off fast. However, even if you want to lose weight, it is important that you don't completely cut out any foods you enjoy. It all comes down to portion sizes and how regularly you eat the 'Treat Foods'.

As I mentioned here, I only eat ice cream once a week (and the new Rocky Road Heaven is definitely going to be my new ice cream treat), not every night, and I certainly don't go 'over the top' and eat two of them!

Having a Treat Day is certainly beneficial for several reasons including, boosting your metabolism, indulging your taste buds and having a positive impact on your endocrine (hormonal) system.

However, you must discipline yourself to only have one or two Treat Meals on your Treat Day; it is not an opportunity to 'go crazy' all day long!

Nevertheless, make sure you enjoy your Treat Meals. Reward yourself for all the good things you've done over the previous week with regards to your nutrition, exercise and supplementation habits and certainly don't feel guilty about it.

Just make sure you stick to eating these types of foods only on your Treat Day and by doing so you can 'have your cake and eat it too'!

My other 'Treat Day food' is pizza. I just love gourmet, wood-fired pizza. In fact, this Sunday (my regular Treat Day) I think I might have a few slices of my favourite pizza and a couple of glasses of red wine. Then, I'll follow this up with a Rocky Road Heaven ice cream! Yum!

Since we're talking about 'Treat Foods' here, please feel free to comment here and let us all know about your favourite 'Treat Day' foods.

I look forward to hearing about what you enjoy having on your Treat Day.

Cheers,

Steve.
