BFC and Yogurt?

  • Is there any good yogurt to eat on the BFC program? I have gotten so used to my morning yogurt and nuts as a snack and am thinking I will have to replace it due to the sugar/artificial sweeteners.

    We all know yogurt has tons of sugar. I would check into plain yogurt and add some stevia or truvia if you need it to be sweet.

    You could also buy Greek Yogurt; the one I buy has 9 g sugar per 8 oz, so I just use a couple TB .

    Doing it that way you could add some truvia sweetener and 3 berries, maybe crush them up or blend it up.

    I guess if it was a snack you could do 3 blue berries and maybe 4 oz of the Greek yogurt.

    HTH!!

  • I re-read the book and it says FAGE Greek yogurt, which the plain variety has 5g of sugar, I think. I couldn't find it at Kroger, but I think Meijer has it.

    I love Fage. With berries, no need for honey.
  • The kind I buy is non fat plain greek yogurt. They sell mixed fruit ones but again, too much sugar. I add 3 or 4 blueberries to mine. The low fat and non fat both have 9g of sugar per 8 oz serving, which is not a lot for 1 serving..especially if you just use it sparingly, like maybe 3 oz with a few blueberries.

  • Chobani is the brand I usually eat, but I thought it had too much sugar. Of course, I usually eat the whole thing...LOL. I will have to measure out a portion and right now I am being REALLY stingy with my sugars and carbs. Maybe when I reach my goal, I will loosen it up a bit.
  • Trader Joe's Greek Style 2% fat has 9 grams of carbs and 5 grams of sugar for a cup. I had 1/2 cup with some Nature's Hollow Sugar Free Peach Preserves. (I couldn't find Nature's Hollow locally and mail ordered it directly from them. It was less than on Amazon.)
  • My favorite is Brown Cow Fat Free Greek Yogurt. 4.5 gm carbs and 4.5 gm sugar per half cup.
