Yogurt, fat free, sugar free...Core?!?
 

Is fat free, sugar free yogurt core? If not, Why?

Alicia

The first answer is no. Only PLAIN FF yogurt is marked Core. The second answer is I don't know.

The most likely reason is that they say it might be a trigger food for some people. Personally, I can barely choke down a 4 oz. container so there's no way it's a trigger for me. If and when I can manage to eat it, I count it as what we call "Core-enough."

I have never seen fat free, sugar free yogurt! Where do you get it? I want to check it out?

I was told at my WW center was that fruit or flavored ff sf yogurt can be abused - that is you may want to eat 5 containers at once or eat it all day long and think you are on Core (but without healthy fruits and veggies - you are having milk and splendra).

I've seen large containers of FF SF plain yogurt more than the other. You can use it in recipies as well. I believe on Core you can eat it with fruit and splendra and have it be Core ( I am sure someone will jump in and correct me otherwise) - takes more effort therefore not as much chance to abuse.

Although anything is possible!

I personally (like kathy) cannot imagine abusing yogurt! I have a lot of problems getting my dairy in so I am happy if I can get in some ff/sf yogurt - and I do count it as core - I would have at most one a day - but honestly probably only a few times per week? There are some good brands I have tried (Source in Canada has some excellent flavors like apple crumble vanilla) sweetened w/aspartame or splenda.

I also find these more convenient for snacking and taking to work as I know I may not sometimes take the time to mix up plan ff yogurt w/fruit or other stuff!

Where to find ff,sf yougurt
 

Lisa,

Here in Arkansas, I get it at Kroger (Kroger brand) and Wal-mart, Blue Bunny brand! They are both sweetened with Splenda, which I prefer! It just allows me to feel as if I'm getting a treat! I'll have maybe one per day! Since you can count ff, sf pudding and jello as core, I don't see the difference!

I agree - I cannot see eating more than one a day - its either breakfast or a snack in the afternoon. Very quick and satisfying. I have been loving Yoplait - they have a new apple pie one that is great - reminds me of the Dannon one with the fruit at the bottom.

I honestly can't see not counting them as Core. I think a protest is in order.

I wish I could find Blue Bunny dairy items where I live - I saw a lot of coupons on Smartsource for it.
