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

looks like you just had surgery tfm. how are you feeling? Sandy

I love the Greek yogurt, yoplait's light yogurt is great, particularly the strawberry or mixed berry.

I bought Dannon cherry Greek today... I have a new love!

I don't like the sour Greek either. I get the Fiber One light peach or Dannon light peach and add a little cereal for crunch. The All Bran little pellets! The look like rabbit food. That replaces the granola!

Please don't take this as mean spirited. For most of us worrying about the carb level in fat free Greek yogurt is the least of our worries. For WLS patients it has excellent Protein level. Recent research also shows people who eat yogurt several times a week have lower blood pressure and less chance of heart attacks.

I add Splendra to help with the sourness.

For Breakfast (everyday) I have Chobani yogurt and add half a scoop of whey isolate Protein powder, flavorless fiber powder, Splendra (mix all together); and about 1/2 cup high protein Kashi Go Lean and some walnuts. About 300-350 calories for breakfast but I don't need a mid morning snack so I feel the cal. level is fine. Both my Nurse Practitioner and Nutritionist know about my breakfast for what it's worth.

Dannon cherry Greek I have not saw that yet,

I do have to say it dose take some time to get use to the palin greek. I cant eat it alone I mix some fruit in.

Its not that i worry about the carbs but that if i eat even the smallest o sugar my blood sugar will shoot up in the 200s then down to 50. I was type 2 diabetic before my surgery and now Im off diabetic meds but still can't tolerate grams of sugar over about 10. I did notice i can exchange a Greek yogurt for my only cup of skim milk daily.

I also like to use plain Greek yogurt in place of sour cream.
