what is the big hype with greek yogurt?



Recommended Posts

I really like Dannon light n fit Greek. Only 80 calories and really tasty' date=' and I can't stand plain Greek yogurt.[/quote']

Dannon light n fit is my favorite too! I have one for Breakfast pretty much everyday. You can find them in Walmart, Sam's, or Target. For a treat like ice cream with far less calories, I buy Yoplait's frozen Greek yogurt. The honey caramel version is quite tasty!????

I tried some 0 fat vanilla Greek yogurt for the first time today. It was my first ever trying any Greek yogurt. I didn't care for it but I will try the plain Greek yogurt and do some of the add ins and think using it like sour cream is a great idea. Hopefully, I will learn to like it since it is so good in Protein.< /p>

I too got some to try pre-surgery - tried it plain w/some fresh bluberries - I wasted the blueberries. Then my son told me to put some honey in it. Made all the difference

I've tried most brands of Greek yogurt and I have to admit the very first time I tried a Chobani - the texture totally freaked me out. After surgery we got a lot of Fage 2% - and now my store carries the Dannon Light & Fit which is yummy, and a bit less calories than the others. You can also mix in sugar free Jello and pudding mixes into the yogurt for a change - some are quite tasty. All in all I do think it can be an acquired taste - I know it has worked out that way for me, I hated it at first and now they are my go-to snack/dessert when I want something sweet.

Add a bit of 2% milk and it's great ranch dressing as well. You are skipping calories, and getting extra Protein in your salads. :)

Let start off by saying...I used to HATE yogurt...any kind at all. But the last couple of years I finally developed a taste for yummy Greek yogurt. Chobani is a little bitter but still palatable. My favorite is 0% fat Dannon Oikos...with fruit...yes, I know...but the black cherry, peach and pineapple flavors are so delicious. I sometimes add a tsp or so of granola or chopped nuts for texture. I can eat this for an entire meal as it fill me up and is very satisfying.

Try it...Dannon Oikos...0% fat...yummy!

I have developed a taste for Greek Yogurt, but will not eat the cabot brand at all. It is not smooth, and seems to be more bitter than the other brands. And I am starting to see greek yogurt cream cheese in my dairy section. :)

So I can just get regular and add Protein powder? Honestly greek yogurt tastes too sour to me

In the beginning adding Protein to regular yogurt is fine but when you get to the point where you want to lower your calories and stay full adding 100+ calories to regular yogurt won't make much sense.

I guess I could talk to my nut about this but is the nutritional value in greek yogurt better than regular? Suppose that both kinds are fat free and sugar free what is the difference? Plain greek yogurt (without fresh fruit) makes me wanna gag so I have stayed away from it. It also wasnt until recently that it was a big deal.

The Protein grams are very different. Greek has twice the amount.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
