can you eat frozen yogurt?



Recommended Posts

You can eat it but it's really wasted calories and won't keep you full at all. I'd look for sugar free/low fat.

If you want a pretty healthy "frozen yogurt" try mixing greek yogurt, casein Protein, and cool whip. Mine comes out to about 200 calories, 38g Protein :)

With restriction I couldnt eat frozen yogurt or ice cream - the cold made my stomach cramp up. But I disagree that its wasted calories as long as its decent yogurt - good source of Protein and Calcium. Also, when you compare the fat content in a low fat and a full fat yogurt, its often only a gram or so and only about 30 calories difference - but the low fat has way more sugar. I'd tend towards no added or low sugar more so than fat, you dont eat enough yogurt (or you shouldnt!) at a time to really make a huge difference. Its the same with most ice creams - when you really label read, its hardly any saving of calories, a lot of extra sugar and a pretty second rate taste for the low fat vrsion..

I agree with Jachut. Choosing a good quality frozen yogurt is not wasted calories and in my experience , at restriction is no less filling than regular yogurt; pretty much the same consistency; just frozen. I also don't choose fat free in any food product for the reason Jachut gives. When you choose lowfat, you often get additives like sugar or fructose corn Syrup which add calories and take away from the natural flavor. Frozen yogurt is typically lower fat anyway, just watch the sugar content.

I love fro yo! I have to be careful with the toppings because the cold I think constricts your stomach and then the toppings can get stuck. This is a nice treat for me. I usually end up freezing most of it and going back to it later.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
