ice cream or not ice cream

[mario92]

I dont knoe if i should eat ice cream: 1 because it contains caffeine which is in the chocolate and is adicitive, two: because in the past i followed a diet that brought me hapiness and joy in even one day but today i dony know this if i should refrain, contain, and to renounce this forever because the diet is always correct (i think) or is it no problem if i want to practice the virtues, in short words wich is better what is first generosity and morality or renunciation? I think i cannot follow the diet because my father always buy ice cream, cookies Sweet food and thrash food. Please give mr your advice.

In the canon, generosity and morality usually precede renunciation in the training. So my advice based on this is to give as much and as wisely as you feel comfortable with; keep the precepts; and to eat as much ice cream as you like until you feel a stronger urge to give it up.

Y chocolate también (and some chocolate too)

Chocolate has only trace amounts of caffeine.

Milk chocolate, chocolate candies, however, do have lots of calories and fat. Dark chocolate is not so bad, for example, semi-sweet dark chocolate chips.

Could you give it up, if you wanted to?

if the answer is yes, then keep eating it.

When you feel that you could not possibly give it up, ever - then, is the time to stop eating it.

Hi mario

eating ice cream does not break any precepts, so it is fine. Personally I love it. But of course, moderation is going to be better for your body, than over-indulgence. I only rarely eat it now, but when I do, I let myself enjoy it. It's not a sin.

kind regards

If you are simply worried about the caffeine, then eat a flavor other than chocolate. Vanilla, strawberry or any of the other many flavors with no chocolate.

I hope you don't apply your formula to eating food in general otherwise I'm pretty sure you'll end up a Breatharian!!
