Low Carb Yogurt?

[law001 40]

Hello!

Starting pre-op diet tomorrow which is strictly liquids. However I am allowed a low carb yogurt daily. Does anyone know of a low carb yogurt aside from Kroger?? I live on Long Island so there isn't a Kroger nearby.

Thanks

Generally any Greek yogurt is considered low carb. My fav is the dannon light and fit. Its around 80 calories per container with 9 carbs. But there are many different brands. I would keep to the ones with 100 calories or less.

A bit of info I recently discovered is the difference between regular and Greek yogurt. With greek yogurt the whey is strained off. This concentrates the Protein and gets rid of much of the carbs that are in regular yogurt.

pre-op diet tomorrow

@@law001

FAGE plain yogurt has 8 carbs

20 gr of Protein

i put fresh blueberries and alittle granola on top

can't get much better than that

yum yum

as @@Bob2013 said "light and fit" is great

but it only has 12 gr of Protein opposed to 20gr in FAGE

Light and Fit has only 80- calories

FAGE has 150!!!!

both are great!!!!

good luck with pre-op, such fun!!!! (if you don't mind a little torture!!!)

only kidding, you'll be fine

good luck with surgery

speedy recovery

I actually mix about 2-3 tbsp. of fage to the dannon greek light and fit vanilla. Boosts up the Protein with very few extra calories/carbs

Also look at the sugar content. I also eat the Dannon lite and fit because the sugar is less than most Greek yogurts.

Thank you all!

San on light and fit is not Greek yogurt... I would watch the sugar content cause typically when something is low fat it's high in augar

Just a head's up too - there's a couple of low carb ones that advertise themselves that way (Carb Smart is one) and I have to say I liked the idea until I really read the package. It doesn't even claim it's yogurt! It's nearly all chemicals and junk, but hey, low carb is hot so it sells. Just read the labels to make sure you're getting what you really want.

Light and Fit by Dannon is the only greek yogurt that i found that is low carb that comes in flavors. You can also get any plain greek yoghurt and add low carb fruits to it like strawberries or other berries. At first I would take a package of sugar free Jello powder and add it to the plain yogurt to give it a yummy flavor. I'd use the lime sugar free Jello powder and mix it with plain greek yoghurt. It reminded me of key lime pie.... I love the Light and Fit individual containers of greek yoghurt to grab in a hurry....

Wow this is great to know, also I didn't know you can add Jello powder to yogurt to flavour it, I'll have to try that

I am not sure where you are looking but Dannon light and fit greek yogurt is greek yogurt.

And as far as the sugar, you cannot get much sugar in 80 calories.

Thank you all for the advice!! Day 3 of the pre op diet...I'm hungry but doing ok. I heard it gets easier after Day 3. Agree?

This one has more Protein than Any of them and less sugar!

Fage 0% yogurt is good. I live on Long Island too & I believe most of the supermarkets carry it.

Thanks! I'll have to look for that! I don't think that I've ever seen it before!
