Yogurt
 

Is nonfat artifically sweetened yogurt allowed in phase 1. Dannon litnfit is now using splenda and its only 60 calories...what do y'all think?

For phase 1 it needs to be plain nonfat yogurt. I add Splenda and cinnamon to mine and it is really good.

Please be sure to check out the Phase I Food List in the FAQ Section. There are several differences from the foodlists in the book and yogurt is one of them.

In Phase 2, when you can have artificially sweetened/flavored yogurt, you may find, like some of us did, that the ingredients are kind of scary! They add all sorts of things to the yogurt, like gelatin (:yikes: ), and so some of us use plain yogurt (I prefer Stonyfield Farms organic) and add SF jam, SF syrup, or other things to sweeten it. I love plain yogurt, SF raspberry jam, a little splenda and cinnamon, and a tablespoon or two of wheat germ. YUM! :T

You can have vanilla, too. I eat Blue Bunny Lite 85 Vanilla Creme. I'm on Phase II now and I still eat it 'cause it's good!

I'd stick with plain. The flavored stuff just has too many chemicals and other added things in there. It's so easy to add your own flavorings the other stuff is just not worth it. Just my 2 cents!

Yeah, I'm sure that plain is better. I won't argue with that.
