Why Greek Yogurt?

[lousianalady 44]

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

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!

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 too and now I love it!!

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.

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

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

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.

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.
