I have a question about yougurt,
Bought Dannon light and fit Yougurt. It has no Saturated fat but contains 12g of sugar from frutose corn syrup and aspartame. Is this appropriate and if not what yogurt do you eat. I could not find a sugar free yogurt

Natural Greek Yoghurt only has 4.4g per 100. You can sweeten it or add a chopped few berries to it. You can get fromage frais that is low in both fat and almost carb free - it's also nice sweetened a little.

wow, I'd say that one is a cheat - corn sirup he does discuss. Buy plain yoghurt and add sweetener of your choice or nothing - I add cinnamon and a "spritz" of liquid sweetener. What you need to look for is no ADDED sugar - there will always be some carbs from sugar because Lactose = milk sugar is unavoidable in a milk product, and will be listed as sugar. As long as there is no added sugar, the lactose is acceptable in low fat yoghurt.

New Rules About Yogurt

(Published 2/25/04) Ever wonder why you can't find sugar-free yogurt at the grocery store? That's because it doesn't exist. Yogurt contains a natural, low-glycemic sugar called lactose. But if yogurt contains sugar, when is it OK to eat yogurt on The South Beach Diet™?

Thanks to recent research pertaining to calcium's role in weight loss, Dr. Agatston has updated the diet to include yogurt in every phase. Not all yogurts are created equal, so follow these Phase-by-Phase guidelines for yogurt consumption:

During Phase 1, limit yourself to fat-free plain yogurt. Avoid any sweetened yogurts, even those with artificial sweeteners, but feel free to flavor your yogurt as you would a ricotta crème.

During Phases 2 and 3, you may also introduce artificially sweetened, nonfat flavored yogurt. To identify yogurt that's been artificially sweetened, look for the words "light" or "lite" on the label. Limit to 4 ounces daily.

What about low carb yogurt??? I believe it has 3 carbs and I dont know about sugar. Or is it a no no?
