Scratch that -- I take it back. The nutritionists were saying it's ok to

have a full cup, but according to the late February posting on yogurt from

the Daily Dish, that's not the case. It's limited to a half cup daily for

the light/lite versions. That was in the January update -- not sure how I

missed that 'un. Best as I can tell, that does NOT apply to the same yogurt

from phase 1 (i.e., fat-free plain yogurt). Misty -- you are talking about

the light/lite stuff, not the fat-free stuff, right?

New Rules About Yogurt

(Published 2/25/04) Ever wonder why you can't find sugar-free yogurt at the

grocery store? That's because it doesn't exist. Yogurt contains a natural,

low-glycemic sugar called lactose. But if yogurt contains sugar, when is it

OK to eat yogurt on The South Beach Diet™?

Thanks to recent research pertaining to calcium's role in weight loss, Dr.

Agatston has updated the diet to include yogurt in every phase. Not all

yogurts are created equal, so follow these Phase-by-Phase guidelines for

yogurt consumption:

During Phase 1, limit yourself to fat-free plain yogurt. Avoid any sweetened

yogurts, even those with artificial sweeteners, but feel free to flavor your

yogurt as you would a ricotta crème.

During Phases 2 and 3, you may also introduce artificially sweetened, nonfat

flavored yogurt. To identify yogurt that's been artificially sweetened, look

for the words " light " or " lite " on the label. Limit to 4 ounces daily.

So, two cups of plain is 2 servings? But 1 cup of the lite is 2

servings?
