If you are craving sweets at night it is probably because you are in the habit of eating sweets every night. Break the cycle and avoid sweets at night.

Eating ice cream every day is not a good idea. It is high in sugar and fat so limit your portions and only eat it every once in a while.

Expert Answer

An appropriate amount of ice cream is 1/2 cup. If you find that you are eating more than this or if you are eating ice cream frequently, you may consider reducing or eliminating ice cream from your diet.

You can lose weight with or without ice cream. Try to cut 250 calories per day from food and burn 250 calories per day from exercise to lose one pound per week.
