If you're trying to lose weight though, it's difficult. Most diets suggest that you eliminate all junk foods...and that includes ice cream. Which is a big bummer.
But the truth is that you can still eat dessert and lose weight--you just have to make smart choices about the desserts that you do choose to eat.
Hot new research reveals that ice cream, when eaten as part of a healthy diet, may actually melt away fat, helping you lose weight quicker than if you abstained! Plus a dish a day helps you get healthier in other ways according to Marsha Hudnall's book, THE ICE CREAM DIET.

The recommended amount of calcium for women is 1,000 to 1,300 mg per day.
The recommended amount of calcium for men is 1,000 to 1,200 mg per day.
