Why is it good for yo u? Or is it?

Unless it's sugar free yogurt, I suggest against it on your diet - too much sugar.

low fat, unsweetened yogurt is good for fat loss:
Scientists in Tennessee (that be whiskey country partners!) gave calcium, in the form of yogurt containing 1,100 mg, to 17 overweight people three times a day. The control group had just 500 mg.
The yoghurt eaters lost a cool 22 per cent more weight that the non yoghurt eaters, 61 % body fat and a tasty 81% stomach fat was gone. All in this twelve week study.

That study is way too vauge, but I do think that unsweetened yogurt (low-fat) could cause the above fat-loss if the compared subjects were eating a differentiated caloric intake.

Alright, so what about this one ? 
As dietary calcium intake increases, it acts at the cellular level to alter energy metabolism so that more food energy is burned and less is stored as fat. This is the conclusion of researchers at the University of Tennessee’s Department of Nutrition who studied the effect of dietary calcium levels in mice. The mice were genetically engineered to express a human obesity gene called “agouti” in their fat cells, making them useful models for the study of diet-induced obesity. The researchers, led by Michael B. Zemel, Ph.D., director of the University’s Nutrition Institute, found support for their conclusions in data from the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III), which shows an inverse relationship between calcium and dairy intakes and body fat in adults.
The researchers concluded that low calcium diets lead to increased fat storage and higher calcium diets favor increased burning of fat. Dietary calcium in the form of dairy had an even greater effect on reducing fat storage than a calcium supplement. The authors propose that calcium in fat cells “is a logical target for pharmacological and/or nutritional regulation” of
overweight and obesity.

Or even better than Yogurt, Kefir. Its like super-cultured yogurt, more lovable bacterial buddies for ya!
Commercial brands such as Lifeway usually have a Sugar/Protein ratio of about 21g/14g. Not great for dieting, but it beats the Sugar/Protein ratio of most yogurt cups, usually around 35-45g/6-9g.

I'm a big fan of the taste of Kefit, but I think a lot of people miss out by never even tasting it in their life.
************
Micro Organisms in Kefir
Saccharomyces kefir
Torula kefir
Lactobacillus caucasicus
Leuconnostoc species
Lactic streptococci
Some yeasts
Interesting Facts
Kefir dates back to the shepherds of the Caucasus mountains. They discovered that fresh milk carried in leather pouches would occasionally ferment into an effervescent beverage. Its uniqueness from all other cultured milk products is the presence of more than three species in the culturing process.
Nutritional Facts
Kefir is rich in Vitamin B12, B1, and Vitamin K. The numerous benefits of maintaining adequate B vitamin intake range from regulation of the kidneys, liver and nervous system to helping relieve skin disorders, boost energy and promote longevity.

Read my above post, it's good stuff you should try it - although I don't like milk, I still like Kefir.

My bedtime snack is plain lowfat yogurt with splenda and fresh fruit....the taste is so much better than preflavored yogurt and of course it is better for you this way.

my Gf has that kefir in her fridge..in fact that pic looks just like her bottom fridge door shelf...gonna try some next time I'm out there..figures too as she is from Armenia(near the caucasus mtns.)...was just plain scared of it when I saw it..on another note,does anyone have any experience with yogurt makers? and is it possible and plausible to perhaps add a protein mix(e.g. whey) to the yogurt?

You can add protein to the yogurt mix, but make sure you wash the machine after if you're not the only user: caseinate/egg/whey combo.

I do love Kefir and its bitter taste 
BTW it is a good idea for the lactose intolerant people
For lactose intolerant adults, drinking fermented milk either eliminated or drastically reduced symptoms related to lactose intolerance. Researchers think that microbes in this fermented milk – called kefir – possess the enzyme that is necessary to digest lactose. Kefir is a little known, and slightly more expensive, alternative to milk. It contains a multitude of bacteria that are thought to break down lactose in the digestive tract.
Past studies by other scientists have shown that eating fermented dairy products, such as yogurt, improves lactose digestion. Participants in the current study reported having little or no symptoms associated with lactose intolerance after eating both types of yogurt and kefir. Flatulence was the most-reported symptom. Drinking kefir reduced flatulence frequency by more than half, compared to milk.

i used to like quark but i'm trying to eliminate dairy from my diet because i dont digest it well but im wondering about yogurt since it's usually full of cultures and i can get a brand with digestive enzymes... anyone have any ideas whether it's a good idea or should i just by miceller casein?

You can add Kefir, but I would suggest against real sugar loaded yogurt. Make sure there is protein and fiber involved.

I buy
Often I'll buy fat free or reduced fat plain no sugar ect added yogurt and then add a packet of sweetner or some fruit or whatever.

i cannot have that much dairy myself
i have to take an enzyme most times unless it is something partially digested
but you can get probiotics such as acidophilous in cap form

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the beneficial aspects of acidophilus....very good in many ways!

i've never seen keffir sold in the UKMr.X said:
i found some low fat gerek yogurt today with no sugar so i picked some up each tub had 7gms of carbs and 15gms of protein... i thought it sounded ok as a pre betime snack if mixed with 20g whey and a small spoon pf nat pb. I think it will keep it under 10g of carbs anyway so it's not too bad. What do u think?
