I was in the grocery store yesterday when I saw some of the Breyer's Low Carb ice creams and I was wondering in which phase of atkins would we be allowed to have one of their fudgesicles?

ohhh I've seen lots of low carb ice cream and popsicles. It always tempts me but I don't want to fall into the temptation yet. Sorry not sure when your allowed. Someone else must know for sure here.

You can cautiously add low-carb convenience foods like low-carb shakes, bars, yogurt, ice cream bars during OWL. The net carbs per serving should be no more than five. Don't overdo it.

Some people stall when they use low-carb convenience foods. Be sure to keep track of your weight and your food intake, so you can stop eating the things that stall your weight loss.

Personally, I like the Safeway "Watch n Carbs" low-carb fudge bars (3 net carbs) because they're sweetened with erithrytol and sucralose (Splenda).

I also like the Dannon Light &Fit Carb and Sugar Control yogurt, also sweetened with sucralose. (also with 3 net carbs)

Both of these products contain low-fat milk, though, so they should be considered convenience foods and not a mainstay of your food plan.
