PLease talk to your cardiologist about this or a dietitian/nurtitionist. It sounds like you need to understand this diet more before going on it.

Most nutritionists and doctors will tell you to pay attention to portion size, never deprive yourself of anything (hence the small portion), and eat healthy with plenty of vegetables, fruit, carbs, healthy fats, protein, etc. Exercise regularly.

Make sure you tell them what you're allergic to. It's not ice cream you're allergic to....it's something in it. Is it the milk? Casein? You need to figure this out to better help what you can and cannot eat. An allergist or even a gastroenterologist can help you figure this out.

Answer 2

If your allergic than your allergic. I dont know if you can talk to someone through this plan but if you can then you might ask about a substitute.
