yes, ice cream works but it's primarily fructose, so don't let it be all you eat, and keep the overall fructose in check during the carb nite. Fat free ice cream topped with nerds (dextrose) and an almost rotten banana (also can blend into a shake with some protein) – is what I used to do before I got actual dextrose
Sugar and HFCS are basically the exact same thing.The thing to remember about ice cream is the sugar content is both the added sugar and the lactose from the milk so it's hard to judge how much fructose you will be getting from it.
the beauty of Australia if we use in most of our products sugar over HFCS helllo ice cream!!
Hello Caino, Remember though, table sugar is actually half fructose.

Thank you my friend, i was always under the impression table sugar is better then HFCS and for showing these charts, i hate youlol
So does sugar free instant pudding and rice chex with coconut milk.
Sugar free?? What is the point of that?
I like to keep my sugar/fructose levels down. My only "sugar" intake is dextrose.
but if its sugar free then where is the CHO coming from? After all aren't all CHO's sugar? I understand the fructose part, but dextrose is a close relative of sucrose which is table sugar, and most pastries and cookies have ample amounts of sugar in them, so I'm not sure I understand your thinking. Maybe I'm missing something?

Dextrose is pure glucose but in a solid form. Sucrose is 50% glucose and 50% fructose which is why it's not optimal.

Exactly. I avoid "regular sugar" during my backloads as much as possible. The sugar free stuff? PSH I add dextrose to it 8)
