Georgia,

 

I actually get mine from a Natural Foods store in downtown Chattanooga. I have not seen it at Wal-Mart or Bi-Lo (my local supermarket chain), I would say it is available at Publix (there's one opening soon around me). It hasn't made the leap to chain stores yet. Their website is really informative, Welcome to FAGE USA . Fage is just the brand name that is available to me. I would definately recommend it!! When I first bought it I tried the Total (whole milk), 2% and the 0%. I usually find that I can't stomach the fat free stuff, but I can't tell the difference with this yogurt! So 1 cup of the 0% has 120 calories, 0 g fat, 6 carbs, and 20 grams of protein. Good luck on finding it!

Hi, I am amazed you can eat so little...would you mind telling me the shakes you drink. I have not been able to find any with this low calorie... thanks

B: snapea crisps again! This is my worst week of the month for carb cravings, but this snapea crisp solution is at least better than my pre-band choices (bag of chips, half a pizza, popcorn slathered with butter...). I know I can make better choices, but I refuse to beat myself because that way lies defeatism... Positive affirmation - I choose to eat healthful foods most of the time.
