What brand of yogurt



Recommended Posts

You pretty much can't find yogurt with that low of carbs, Greek Yogurt has less carbs and more protien. a lot

of people like carb master that you can get at Krogers. I think it's tasteless. I like Chiboni yogurt the best.

I also like Brown cow that I get at walmart.,

There's something about the carbs from yogurt that makes them not really count as high as they're listed, but I can't remember exactly what or why that is... might want to Google it though.

I love the Fage and Oikos greeks, but lately I've been getting the Kroger Carbmaster yogurt, which only have 4 carbs. Lots of yummy flavors and they're like three for a dollar (compared to almost $2 each for the Greek). They're not thick and heavy like the Greeks are, which I love, and have more the thinner consistency of regular yogurt, but for the price, flavor, and carb/protein counts, you can't beat them.

I'm not a yogurt fan AT ALL! But, since I'm limited on my pre op diet I eat it.

I can tolerate greek yogurt. And, my dr suggested Light and Fit from Dannon. I like it

I prefer greek yogurt for the thicker consistency and higher Protein content. I sometimes buy the individual containers of caramel flavor (but it is higher in carbs than some people are allowed - my dietician doesn't have a carb limit, its all about eating Protein first).

Lately, though, I've been buying the larger tub of the vanilla, fewer carbs than the other flavors and I mix in some Kashi Go Lean Cereal for a little crunch and a few extra grams of protein.

There is also an Athenos brand at Walmart that has a little side cup of fruit. It is more tangy in flavor than the oikos, and I mix in about half the fruit for a little sweetness.

I've tried the Carbmasters yogurt and it is too thin and bland for me now that I've developed a taste for greek yogurt.

I find Carbmasters to be really bland too. Bland is a perfect word for it.

It's all about the Brown Cow, baby!! Brown Cow Greek Yogurt is super delish, without unecessary chemicals and super low in carbs - 4 grams per serving if memory serves? Deeee-lish!!

The Fage 2% has 8g of carbs and 17g of Protein but it is probably also twice the size of the other yogurts, so if you do the math and get it down to a 100g container, you are too at 4g of carbs and 8.5g of Protein.< /p>

I think it is totally worth it because it also has mostly natural ingredients. I am no health nut or conspiracy theorist who believes that everyone is out to get me and everything is a big plot of the industry, but I always feel the less ingredients, the better - skimmed milk, cream and yogurt bacteria, that's it in Fage 2%.

I do find it shocking how many carbs are in plain regular yogurt - if I want carbs in mine, I take a greek yogurt and mix it with maple Syrup or agave nectar. THOSE carbs are worth having, that's for sure :-)

Here are a few articles about yogurt and carbs:

do you think the sugar is okay in the chobani, I too love it! I haven't had the surgery yet, but was wondering about this, I love yogurt, but am I going to have to do plain in the beginning?

I haven't bought the Chobani because of the carb count. Some people are really sensitive to carbs, and others do great with calorie restriction alone, regardless of the make-up of the calories--I'm one who can't lose if I got over 40-ish carbs, no matter how low I keep the calories. With the plain yogurt, what I do most is put in a few drops of vanilla extract and a couple packets of Splenda or Truvia, but you can also use sf flavored syrups, sf jam, stuff like that.

Are you both talking about plain? I don't think I have ever seen plain Chobani, only with flavors which dramatically increases the carb count!

you can buy plain chibonis and put in sf syrups .. I like raspberry. You can also just put splenda or stevia in it.

I like to mix in a few blueberries (gotta have some Fiber from somewhere) and some stevia.

Its way less carbs to buy plain and figure out a way to flavor it. There are a lot of ways. People use sf jam too.

      I joined BariatricPal in 2008 & I FINALLY made the descision to have WLS!! I'm so excited & not sure what I need to do to get the ball rolling, but I made an appointment with my PCP for 7/19. It's a start I guess.

        I've been dreaming about it for 30 years or so. It's time to make it happen!

      I joined yesterday when I was struggling with this preop diet... 
      It typically comes and goes, the hard times and easier times. I'm on day 6 of 14  shakes, water, sf Popsicles and jello. And I might actually be losing my mind. But, oh dear lord has the fear set in. Not about the surgery itself, but life afterwards. If I feel this crappy on the preop diet, am I going to feel like this forever after? 
      I know most of the answers are no, not forever. It might be worse after for a while, then get better. I know it's a more of a mental challenge than physical after the first couple weeks of healing. I get all of that. But I'm starting to feel scared about losing myself afterwards. 
      It might be my hormones or desire to chew something salty talking.. It may go away soon or tomorrow.. I can hope, anyway. But right now.. The fear is real. 
       
      And this liquid diet can bite me.

        Fear is normal, but if it makes you feel any better, I'm 4.5 months post-op and the pre-op diet was by far the hardest part of the whole process. There will be challenges and a lot of new things to learn, but I can honestly say at this point I feel so much more "back to normal" and was even able to go on a week-long vacation with my kids without stressing over it. It's so worthwhile.

        @NickelChip This actually does make me feel better! Thank you so much! After the onslaught of Covid, we've all had to deal with a "new normal", so I know it's possible. It's just the fear and frustration in this moment that makes me question if I can find another "new normal" afterwards. The thought of just a few more months seems daunting some times, but I really do appreciate input and real experience. I'll use that to get me through for a few more hours! LOL. Thank you so much! And I'm glad everything is going so well for you! ❤️

      I started my 10 day pre op diet yesterday I need flavor!! I'm not big on the chocolate protein shakes so I just got to use up what I have was thinking about freezing it to make it like a ice cream so its something I can chew a little. Idk this is hard but I know I can do it just need to find new things to try

        You can try. I've read other people have had good results with protein-shake popsicles, etc. My personal experience with it? Sucked.

        I tried making 'fudgesicles' with a couple different flavors of a premade shake, as well as a protein powder I blended myself and all of them came out revolting? The powder ones, all the protein sunk to the middle; the premade shakes, the popsicle had a disgusting texture and the protein seemed to leave a weird fluffy film on the outside? I couldn't stomach it.

        Maybe look into flavoring additives? I was able to have sugar-free coffee /soda syrup flavorings, sugar-free drink flavorings and baking additives like almond, rum or pepperment extract. The extracts helped me the most as they added no extra sweetener.

        On the other hand, if you can get your hands on an unflavored/unsweetened protein powder, the syrup flavorings are perfect. I love to use Boost "Just Protein" (which is unflavored) with milk and a Chai-flavored sugarfree syrup.

        Good luck!
