Effing Yogurt

mrdeadly99 Posts: 124 Joined: 2005/09/21	2005/10/26, 02:15 PM I just got some 99% fat free yogurt from costco and was really excited because i love yogurt. I get home and see that it has 40g of sugar!! WTF. Does anybody know of some good low fat yogurt (flavored) that has less sugar?

Personally, I just get plain yogurt, usually 1%, and add my own berries and some vanilla extract and maybe some chopped almonds. You could even add a bit of honey, at least your controlling the amount of sugar. -------------- Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.

They never seem to be in the same place :angry:. They ARE available though, you just have to look really, really hard for them. I could care less about low fat or non-fat... for me it's all about limiting that sugar. Good luck!

They are the Lite 85 and Carb Freedom yogurt cups, each one is only 80 or 90 calories. I actually like the Carb Freedom one better they also have more protein. I also buy plain yogurt by the quart and flavor it with splenda and add vanilla flavor or other flavorings or even mix in some cottage cheese with some splenda and vanilla.
