Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Christy, with yogurt you can subtract 1 carb per ounce from the carb count due to the effect of the bacteria. So, if a cup of yogurt has 18 carbs total .. the actual carb count would be 10. I learned this from Gretchen's posts some time in the past. Of course, the fat from the walnuts will suppress the rise as well. Plain yogurt is a good snack for me too. Suzz, t2, dx97, d&e -------------- > > What's going on here?

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 The whole point of testing was that this was homemade Greek yogurt, quite different than Dannon, and I have no idea what the carb count was or if they add anything when they make it. It was a huge serving, though, and it was very good! The texture is very thick and dense. Christy > > > > What's going on here? I'll keep testing a while longer.

Looking at the Total brand Greek yogurt that Dianne referred to as a model, a cup of their full fat yogurt has 23 g. of fat, 15 g. of protein and 7 g. of carbs. It has 300 calories. So, using the formula above, if we subtract 1 g. of carbs per ounce, we get a -1. Probably really a zero, which would explain why it had absolutely no effect on my BG. That fat content is very high, and most of it is saturated fat, so I guess I'll use it as an occasional snack or one on days when I'm particularly active. I'm pretty sure the Greek deli isn't bothering to make it low fat. If I could find the Total brand fat free yogurt around here, on the other hand, that would be a great snack or meal. Christy, who promises not to post again today about yogurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Hey Christy, I saw a yogurt making machine before Christmas. Was tempted to buy it but didn't. That might be a good thing for those wanting to make their own yogurt. Can't remember who made it though. >The whole point of testing was that this was homemade Greek yogurt, >quite different than Dannon, and I have no idea what the carb count >was or if they add anything when they make it.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Probably Salton. I got my yogurt maker at a yard sale. Sometimes they turn up at thrift stores.
