RE: question about yogurt

[Guest guest]

That is a really good question. I was thinking the same thing, that any

fat-free low sugar yogurt should be fine. I suppose they don't want to get

into too many specifics about the core plan food list, such as: the food

can have so many carbs, proteins and no fat. Although it seems simple, it

can get complicated because some of the high protein diets allow (some)

carbs if there is fiber. So, there would be too many exceptions to the

rule. I plan to buy the plain yogurt and just add fresh fruit to it.

Probably a better choice just due to the fresh fruit factor. I wonder if

anyone has asked this question on the WW message boards?

question about yogurt

I was shopping for yogurt the other day and I have a question about why we

have to eat plain yogurt on the Core Plan.

From what I can see, nutritionally, there is little difference between the

fat-free plain yogurt and the fat-free flavored yogurt.

The only major difference was that plain yogurt has double the protein.

But surprisingly, the plain yogurt had more overall carbs and more grams

of

sugar than the flavored yogurt!

It also had more sodium.

So - why plain yogurt on the Core program? Why not ANY fat-free yogurt?

Also, what are your favorite brands of yogurt and how do you like to eat

it?

Thanks!

Maybe I will try the splendia and fruit suggestion also.

Re: Re: question about yogurt

Hi e,

Well, that's why I asked the question...I finally got to where I could

tolerate the Yoplait yogurt (not fruit on the bottom stuff - I can't eat

that!) So that's why I was bummed out about having to eat plain yogurt.

But the idea about adding splenda and fruit, well, I'll give that a try. It

sounds do-able.

But if you don't like yogurt because of the consistency (not a flavor issue)

then you'll probably never like yogurt and will just have to get your

calcium elsewhere! :-)
