NKA, I don't think you'll end up not ever being able to have a little ice cream at times. Breyer's makes a superb LC ice cream (Carb Smart) and the SAs in it don't make it such a horrible thing to have a little bit (about 1/4 cup) and count the sugar alcohols. My oldest daughter makes sundaes with it--1/4 cup chocolate Carb Smart topped with 1/4 cup of mashed strawberries and a tablespoon or so of chopped nuts.

The thing is, after going without this kind of thing for so long we've really learned how to relish just a little bit of it. In our house are four people on Atkins and a 6-year-old. One carton of Carb Smart will last at least a month, and that's with the little guy eating most of it.
