Guest guest Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 I saw a guy in front of me in line at Walmart with the Dannon carb Light and Fit . I thought that sounded good. I like the Walmart yogurt, I believe I will stick with it. I am sure it is less expensive. I especially like it mixed with some Kashi Good Friends or Go Lean. I believe that would be Phase II friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 Sounds to me like they didn't want to put anything in writing. Just my two cents on it.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 Now I'm confused...I thought that it was the Carb Smart Yogurt that wasn't yogurt. > > > > Look for Blue Bunny sugar-free yogurt, or if you have a WalMart, look > > for their brand of sugar-free yogurt.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 It's fat-free plain yogurt on the Phase 1. I copied the changes to milk at www.southbeachdiet.com and you will find them below. I hope that this helps. Carol S Milk: Old Version: Avoid all dairy in Phase 1, except for less than 2 tablespoons fat- free ½ and ½, nonfat milk, 1 percent milk, or soy milk allowed with coffee. New Version: Phase 1: Now includes 1 percent or fat-free milk, low-fat plain soy milk (4 grams of fat or less per serving), 1 percent or fat-free buttermilk, and fat-free plain yogurt on the Phase 1 " foods to enjoy " list. Limit dairy to 2 servings a day. Note: Feel free to flavor your fat- free plain yogurt like a ricotta creme. Phase 2: May introduce artificially sweetened nonfat flavored yogurt, but limit this variety to 4 ounces daily. Note: Since the SBD is still low in saturated fat, high-fat whole milk products will remain on the " foods to avoid " lists for all Phases. > > But on Phase one we can not have the fruit yogurt-- right-- just the vanilla? > Gin>>>>>>>> > > > Right! Nonfat/no sugar added vanilla yogurt only on Phase 1. > > I start Phase 2 tomorrow, and think I might want to try a bit of yogurt every now and then. Does anybody know if it is OK for me to have a bit of sugar free/nonfat *frozen* yogurt? We have a TCBY in our hospital lobby, and they have these tiny cups they sell of the stuff (minis, I think they call it) Anyhoo, they usually have a couple of flavors of nonfat/sugarfree yogurt. It would just be an occassional treat at work, but I wondered if it is semi-legal! > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 If it is also nonfat, then that should be OK. Is it sugar free, or no sugar added? Most lite yogurts are actually " no sugar added " due to the natural sugar of dairy. I prefer the Blue Bunny Brand, just because I like the taste of splenda better than aspartame. And, remember, the flavored ones are designated for Phase 2. Re: Re: Yogurt > What about the Dannon Light and Fit? It's sugar free.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 My husband and I just did the taste test for the Carb Freedom yogurt and the Lite 85 Yogurt by Blue Bunny. Someone had said that the Lite 85 was better for us SBD'ers even though it has more carbs. The Lite 85 has no fat and defiantly does taste quite a bit better. My hubby even liked it. So we are lite 85 yogurt fans now by Blue Bunny. Terri B> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 Odds are the one with less carbs has more artificial stuff added to it since some of the carbs are from the lactose. I'd stick with the one that was " real " yogurt since we don't count carbs on South Beach. Carol > I went to the store today and they didn't have any Blue Bunny " Lite 85 " > Vanilla Yogurt.
