Addiction to ice cream...

[inic]

I'm pretty sure i'm addicted to ice cream, maybe its the cream?
Last night i was thinking about just ice cream for about an hour until i went out and got some... that can't be a good think.
I'm in the process of getting milk out of my diet, i'm switching to soy milk instead. I just realized we really dont need milk after infancy. just take a look at every animal on earth! (and no! we are not animals, but we still eat the same things)
I'm thinking that maybe the ice cream craving is a result from not having milk for a while... hmmm

Don't worry dude. The same thing happens to me with Chick-Fil-A. Resistance is futile.

Whatever you do, don't think about CHERRY GARCIA.

Are you 100 lbs over weight?
Is they something signficantly wrong with you health?
Are you morally opposed to drinking liquied form a quadrapeds mammary glands?
Do you feel that you are some how not manly or macho?
Are you repulsed by the flavour of Cherry Garcia?
Is consumption of Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream against your religion?

:confused:

If they answers to these questions is NO, then I say go for it and have a little ice cream once in a while. (I reccomend Sunday evenings.)

:)

There is no logical reason to deprive your self of that which you truely get joy over. Stop listening to those wackos who want you to feel guilty that you dont follow their diet of seaweed, carob and raw almonds.


You harm no one including your self by consuming NEW YORK SUPER FUDGE CHUNK every once in a while.

:D

Just make sure you consume in moderation, and keep up your daily work out so that it does not go to your waist line.


Peace,

It sounds like that you could possibly have Spleen Qi Deficiency. Abnormal diets , and from what you've mentioned it is, are a result of a disharmony in the body's need to centre itself inapropriately on one of the five tastes more than getting a good mix of all of them. This constitutes as a symptom an upset in the spleen. Don't worry too much c'os most westerners have a problem with there spleen. By eating too much cold, raw, too sweet and uncooked food in TCM they would recognise that you are harming both your spleen and stomach. By doing this you are causing them to work too much in processing the foods which take more effort to break down and thus result in over exertion and depletion of their basic energy, hence the condition of Spleen Qi Deficiency. Seeing an acupuncturist could help you to a) strengthen the splenn so as to b) help give up the ice cream cravings. Ice cream is nice (well to be honest I hate the stuff but most people like it) and thus in apropriate amounts its relatively ok, however in the frequencis and amoinuts you're talking of its not ok. In those amounts I would expect coldness/weakness in the limbs, loose stools, if the spleen is weak then a propensity for over-thinking and unecessary anxiety/pensiveness, weakness/tiredness especially in the mornings and a slightly swollen tongue.
