Tip of the Day:

Yup - I get it - I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream. But if your 
ice-cream habit involves a permanent stash of Ben and Jerry's in your freezer,
you've got a problem. While an occasional treat won't kill you, eating ice 
cream every day - even once a week - can be a diet buster. Let's look at how
much your favorite indulgence will set you back.

Vanilla Ice Cream

Calories: 460 for one cup 
Exercise equivalent: Walking, biking, or running 

list of 3 items
Walking: 103 minutes 
Biking: 49 minutes 
Running: 49 minutes
list end
Walking two hours makes that ice cream less of a treat, doesn't it? You can 
still have ice cream from time to time, but look for low-fat varieties and keep
your portion sizes to no more than a half cup.
