So this is a good time to ask about something that has me perplexed...yogurt. I've been getting the Dannon Light and Fit for years, because it's really good and low cal. HOWEVER. I just started reading up on Aspartame (which is in this yogurt) and other artificial sweeteners and frankly, it all has me a bit freaked. So, I took a long look at the yogurt isle and quickly learned that yogurt without artificial sweetener is very high in calories...so I have no idea WHAT to do.
I tried the greek yogurt that a lot of dieters recommend and EWWWW. I hate plain flavored yogurt, so that's out. I refuse to burn 200+ calories on a cup of yogurt, so they are out. Anyone have a middle ground they've found? Yogurt advice to give? Anything?
Hoping the hormones retreat soon~
Sorry, you'll get no help from me. I try to avoid artificial sweeteners as well; plain yogurt is yucky; and sweetened has too much sugar and a ton of calories... Might as well eat ice cream, which I like sooo much better anyway;0)
ReplyDeleteHey Missy! I don't eat yogurt, but my husband eats plain yogurt with his cereal. He pours a bowl of granola and adds a couple dollops of plain yogurt and mixes it all up. Sometimes he adds fresh fruit.
ReplyDeleteCould you try plain yogurt and mix in your own fruit and a tiny bit of honey?
You've gotta be careful about granola though. Most of it is loaded with calories and sugar.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I thought of buying plain and adding stuff, but I REALLY hate the plain. Like, I'd have to add a TON of junk and by that time, I've defeated the purpose!
ReplyDeleteFor now, I'm off yogurt. Maybe I'll add it again when I'm maintaining. :)
