Why Greek Yogurt?

I see everyone suggest it but its high in grams of sugar. Why does everyone suggest Greek vs plain?

    Greek yogurt has a lot of protein. I get the plain, fat free and add my own fresh fruit and a little bit of honey. But, it is sour.

  • The sugar free Greek yogurts are not all sour. Chobani is, but the Light version of the Dannon isn't.

  • lol and that is why I like it, its thicker fills me up faster and keeps me full longer, to be honest I dont really worry to much about the sugar, its not like I eat it for three meals! I was wondering

No idea! I love low fat plain yogurt. Greek yogurt is to thick for me and bitter! Reminds me of sour cream can't stand it!

It has more Protein than regular yogurt. The ones with a lot of sugar are the pre-flavored ones. I like to use plain Greek yogurt and either put my own fruit on there or use it in a smoothie.

The Dannon Light and fit is only 80 calories. 30 grams of sugar per day is allowed and 40 of fat. If I only eat one greek yogurt with 15 grams of sugar I am only eating half of the allowed daily requirements from the FDA.

I can't have sugar. I was diabetic type 2 but if i eat something with a lot of grams of sugar I will feel sick

They actually make sugar free greek yogurt but I can only imagine how sour it would be

More than twice the protien. I don't pay attention to sugars since I don't eat much sugar anymore.

I don't really like Greek yogurt either. Reminds me of eating sour cream outa the container. It's got double the proteiin tho.

I LOVE the chobani greek. I will NOT like giving up the granaola/nut type mix that I stir in it after lbs, as a lot of it is nuts, seeds, etc. I dont think one can eat that.Actually theres a LOT I'm gonna miss. LOL! Sandy

Well to be honest granola is fattening as a hog on a bon fire. Check out the fat content on granola.

Well, last time I checked I was wanting a lap band. Skinny Girl cocktails didnt get me there:) Just sayin....OH! Nice weight loss Red!

If you dont like greek yogurt, cottage chees has just as much protein. I love it with a bit of sugar free jam and some cinnamon.

Good idea TFM, but it aint the same. The granola I buy isat Sams Club, and a tropical type and if kept to 1/3 cup per yogurt, calories arent that bad, but who am I kidding. Ive never measured much in my life. Dont even have a scale as of yet. THAT's what the Doctors Office is FOR!ROFL!:

Daily Chef Fruit & Nut Blend - Tropical Mix - 44 oz.
