As the weather gets warmer, it's tempting to cool down with some creamy, dreamy ice cream, but if you're priming your body for bikini season, those confections can cause a major setback. The most decadent flavors can set you back more than 300 calories and 20 grams of fat - and that's just for a half-cup serving size! Even so-called "light" selections can pack in more than 20 grams of sugar, not to mention cholesterol. So what's an ice cream lover to do? Try some sensible substitutions, like sugar-free popsicles. If you've got a chocolate craving, then a fudgsicle will do the job nicely. Or try melting semisweet chocolate morsels and dipping peeled bananas in them. Add a stick and freeze for a sweet, delicious treat with a fraction of the calories and fat of ice cream. Smoothies made with bananas, peanut butter and protein powder do the trick when you're craving an energy booster.

Sorbets are super-satisfying substitutes for ice cream, and you can even make them yourself. Simply puree fruit in the blender, add your choice of calorie-free sweetener, and freeze. They make a great alternative to store-bought sorbets, which tend to be fat-free...but not low in calories due to their high sugar content. There's nothing wrong with enjoying some ice cream or frozen yogurt on a warm day - just be sure to monitor portion control. Those pints in the freezer look like the perfect size, but they contain up to four servings. Eat the whole thing, and you stand a good chance of consuming your entire calorie, fat, sugar or cholesterol allowance for the entire day!
