If this is all true, it would mean that my most craved for cheat has just become acceptable!

If it's true, that's great.

Would the calories count, or are the calories that much lower too?

 

[anthrax]

yeah it is very true

but you should check that the composition conatins thelactic bacteria Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus

(with which the lactic bacteria Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus casei or the bacteria Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium infantis and Bifidobacterium breve may be combined)


and Yogurt is quickly digested. More than 90% of the yogurt can be digested within an hour, as opposed to 30% for milk. It provides an interesting nutritional alternative for people with lactose intolerance.

i eat about 2 cups of yogurt a day

yum yum

YEah, but non fat yogur has 16g of sugar

Not if it is artificially sweetened.

One more question for someone who knows (anthrax?)...

So if I buy plain non-fat unsweetened or artificially sweetened yogurt, I can basically omit most of the carbs from the carb count (excepting a small amount)...

And should I reduce the calorie count by the same amount? Is it basically all protein then?

I would say the calories on the label is OK

Food scientists use a device known as a bomb calorimeter to measure the calorie content of foods.
The bomb calorimeter does a better job of catching all of the energy released by the food (ie yoghurt)

Ok, that makes sense in a brute force kind of way... But what kind of calories are they if they aren't carbohydrate calories?

I can't for the life of me find non-sweetened or artificially sweetened yogurt. I've checked 3 grocery stores and 1 health food store. I see tons of fat-free and light yogurt, but they all have at least 18g sugar. What the hell?
