To despise and detest low-fat yoghurt?

[Jewelledkaleidoscope]

Who came up with these abominations? Of all the things in my diet I worry about the fat content of (mainly cheese tbh), yoghurt never has and never will be.

What I do worry about though, is sugar, which is everywhere and which "low-fat" yoghurt is pumped full of.

So why are there so many low-fat yoghurts available? Is it cheaper for the manufacturers? And why do I have to hunt high and low and scrutinise ingredients to find one that says, simply, 'milk'?

I don't have a problem with low fat yogurt at all, only with yogurt with sugar or artificial sweetener added (which I won't buy). It sells as people want to buy it.

Incidentally, fat free greek yogurt (usually total but I also buy the tesco one) is also low in carbs - and is the ONLY LOW FAT PRODUCT that I will buy.

St Helens goats milk yogurt is delicious. And it only has milk in it. Delemare goat yogurt is ruined by all the rice starch it is cut with. Rachel's organic stuff is also full of rice starch.

It's infuriating that of the few non sugar laden yogurt's about half of them are still full of crap. I can only have very occasionally now, so really want to know I will enjoy it!

I noticed that Yeo Valley have come up with a 0% fat yoghurt.

No way would it be anywhere near as delicious as their regular stuff. I can't even eat a pot of it, since it doesn't agree with me, but if i give DS2 a pot, you can bet your boots I'll lick the lid clean!

The16th - that's probably because they're all thickened with cornstarch.

How strange to read this just now ... am polishing off a bowl of FULL FAT Greek yogurt with a swirl of honey on top. Can't beat it

I make my own with skimmed UHT, it's really easy and if you leave it for 12h it comes out beautifully creamy. No added anything, but the dcs like adding jam or honey. And about 50p/l which is half the cost of basics yoghurt. But normal plain yoghurt doesn't have any sugar anyway. I use it loads it cooking and in milk shakes.

I love Greek yoghurt with honey.
Low fat yog stinks!

Foreveronadiet - full fat yoghurt is also "low in carbs" as yoghurt is a fat-based food.

Blast - sorry!

Full fat all the way here for yoghurt and everything else.

I am a size 10 to 12...

Okay my low fat natural yoghurt in the fridge has just milk and milk powder (and lactobacillobulgaris etc) and 5g of sugar per 100g which sounds fine to me. However my flatmates fat free mango and apple yoghurt has 15.5 grams of sugar per 100g.

So I take from that there are different types of low fat yoghurts some worse than others....

Thanks Travel. 5/6g still doesn't sound like loads to me. The whole milk version of the one I get that has 6.8g sugar has 6.1g of sugar but that also has milk powder in it so maybe that's why it's nearly the same.

Read 'Nourishing Traditions' by Sally Fallon and feel better. Full-fat dairy products (and so-called 'bad' saturated fats) are whole foods and very important for health.

Some of the low fat ones are just plain yoghurt with 2 percent fat. No added shite, bit milk comes in different fat contents. I do love the 10 percent fat greek stuff though as a treat. I don't buy anything with sweetners and added shite.

Everything low fat is shit.

Lidl's greek yoghurt is even better than Yeo Valley organic one.15 mo DS eats it by spoonfuls and there's no sugar in it.

I don't use spreads-butter all the way here,full fat milk and avoid like a plague 0% crap with no nutritional value at all

YANBU OP.

Size 10 backside here and 12 bosom

Think I'm the same as you Bergholt there's a difference between the plain low fat ones and the ones full to the brim with artificial sweeteners.

Bald I agree with you in every case except Total 0% Greek yog. I like it, hate other fat free things. And it does have nutritional value - protein!

Yes low fat yogurt is always runny and reminds me of baby sick. yanbu.

Tonights desert was Lidl greek yoghurt, raspberries, and half a hob nob crumbled over the top for good measure, everybody in the family was happy with that :-) (obviously another Lidl Greek yoghurt endorsement)
