Sugar Free Yogurt

[ccjll 177]

I just sent my husband to the store for sugar-free yogurt but he really didn't find any with zero carbs or zero sugar they are about 5 to 8 g of sugar - what brands are you all eating?

Milk products contain milk sugar (lactose), so they will not ever be completely sugar-free. In yogurt, most of the lactose has been converted to lactic acid, which is what gives it the characteristic sour taste...the carb count stays the same but metabolically, lactic acid does not cause as much of an insulin increase.

As long as you are staying away from added sugar (i.e. stay with plain yogurt), you are fine. Most folks here go for greek yogurt for the added Protein. I mix berries and a little splenda in mine, however, fruit has natural sugars as well.

I love the Fage Greek Yogurt with fruit (fruit is a separate attached cup). I don't count anything but calories, and these have been a great snack; high in Protein, sweet tooth satisfied, etc.

King Soopers/Kroger makes a low carb yogurt. I ate it while I was healing.
