Q: A new survey says that 56% of people feel guiltier about doing this than they do about binge watching on a nice day?
A: eating ice cream
A new survey found 70% of us have craved ice cream at least once in the past month, and almost a quarter of us crave it DAILY. But 60% of us RESIST those urges, mostly because we’re worried about our weight. Here are five stats from the survey . . .
- Our top three reasons for avoiding ice cream are too many calories . . . too much sugar . . . and too much fat.
- 62% of us have eaten way more ice cream in a single sitting than we meant to at least once in our lives.
- 52% said eating ice cream makes them feel guiltier than skipping the gym. 56% said it makes them feel guiltier than binge watching TV on a nice day. And 61% said it makes them feel guiltier than being late for work.
- Nearly 20% of us routinely avoid the ice cream section of the grocery store. 45% said they don’t want to be tempted. 36% do it because they don’t want to gain weight. And 10% said it’s because someone in their family has dietary restrictions.
Also, our five favorite ice cream toppings are chocolate fudge or another flavored sauce . . . chocolate chips . . . nuts . . . whipped cream . . . and some sort of chocolate candy. Just 9% said they prefer their ice cream plain with no toppings.
