Right now there's two half-quarts of Häagen Dazs Five in my freezer (one mint and one lemon - I love mint). I've been seeing some general buzz around about people adding in some ice cream to a weight training diet, with most people citing Ray Peat as why they did it. I eventually decided to add some in as a PWO carb source after reading a paleohacks question about adding back in dairy (in this case ice cream) and noticing recovery of a soft tissue injury.
I've got some good old manual labor tomorrow, and once that's done I'll be off to the gym to lift, so I figure that having 100g of fast absorbing carbs PWO will help my recovery. Also, since I never seem to recover from lifting as fast as everyone else does, I'm hoping that I'll recovery faster with the aid of ice cream.
One thing that I've thought about is that this whole Ray Peat-induced ice cream craze in the paleosphere might just be paleo people looking for an excuse to eat ice cream. I've been wanting some ice cream for a while, so there's that motive in there. Nonetheless I've only got two, and that's for two PWO meals, and after that I'll see how it affects me.
