I noticed on Page 1 of FYT foods that Greek Yogurt is allowed, but not standard non-fat/lowfat yogurt. I recall Greek yogurt is high in fat...does anybody know why this is the recommended type of yogurt??
ReplyDeleteHi Laura! Greek yogurt has a lot less sugar than the regular kind. Here's an article I found:

um, how can low fat yogurt not count? that's silly. i'm eating it and hope nobody tries to say it's breaking the rules:) You know, the book tried to say coffee is bad - when i read a 4 pg article in a health magazine about it's benefits. there are so many schools of thought! Some foods are obviously bad - butter, fried foods, etc. but we can't be so picky as to not allow ourslves heahtly foods like granola, low fat yogurts and dried fruit. ouch!
