Yogurt Question

  • Ok...the book says 4 oz. of non-fat, artificially sweetened yogurt?

    It seems that all yogurt comes in 6 oz. containers...

    So, is it detrimental to eat the extra 2 ounces?

    Sorry, it's kind of a dumb question, but it's just been bothering me!

    Thanks ladies~
  • I'm sure some people stick to this firmly but I have to admit that I eat the entire 6 ounces and always have.
  • Amy, some yogurts come in 4 oz containers. The Carb Control ones do.

    Personally, I didn't like all the other crap that they put in the little cartons (things like gelatin???) so I switched to organic plain yogurt. I eat 8oz a day mixed with SF syrup or SF Jam (in Phase II). I haven't had any problems.

    The guidelines for losing belly fat using dairy are 3 8oz servings of milk or yogurt a day. I drink two 8 oz servings of skim milk and eat one 8 oz serving of yogurt.
