Hi Richard260, I'm afraid an awful lot of the low fat options contain lots of sugar just to make them palatable. I only eat 5% fat Greek yogurt which only contains the milk's natural sugar.

Hi Richard260 If you're open to trying non dairy then Alpro do a very low fat and very low sugar plain "yoghurt" I think it's called "Simply Plain" I would imagine other companies do something similar.

I would forget low fat altogether. Sugar has to be substituted to make fat-free anything palatable, and sugar is far more damaging. Sugar is addictive, it makes you want more, and unable to decide when you have had enough, whereas fat fills you up quickly and keeps you feeling full. It is such a shame the same word is used for fat - healthy fats found in dairy products and meat - as for being overweight. Fats do not make you fat! Of course, over-eating anything can make you fat, but cutting down on bread, potatoes, rice and pasta, and having some butter on your veg, or a little cream on some fruit is far more likely to satisfy you than low-fat, high sugar. Good luck with the weight loss!

As others have said best avoid low fat yoghurts. Fage 5% and 2% yoghurts are tasty and have low sugar. If you want to sweeten try some fresh berries

Hi 😊 Both? I am on a IVF journey and even though I’m in BMI range they keep saying o should loose weight. Now we all know BMI is an outdated way to measure weight but there you go. So I have been lurking in the background for about 6 months 😄

Hello, I'd go for Skyr in this case. For example 100 g of Hesper Simply Natural Skyr contains 3.3g carbohydrate, of which sugars 2.2g.

Although I have to say during winter I'm myself more likely to choose full fat natural Greek yoghurt

[BridgeGirl Administrator 2 stone in reply to N-o-r-d-i]

Me too, re full fat Greek yoghurt, the 10% kind. I go for supermarket own brands

Hi Richard, I get soya yogurt with no added sugar and low fat. Alpro is in most supermarkets and doesn't contain sweeteners either which is a plus 👍

According to DiabetesUK the first 5g of sugar is lactose, the natural sugar compound found in milk products. It's not added sugar. - it actually says this on the container. the method for measuring the sugar content will measure all sugars not just sucrose, froctose, glucose (the ones we don't want added)
