Sugar-Free Yogurt?
Q: I can't seem to find sugar-free yogurt. What's your advice?
—Kelly
A: All yogurt—and all milk products—contain lactose, a naturally occurring sugar that's low on the glycemic index. For this reason, there's technically no such thing as sugar-free yogurt. Here's a guide to buying yogurt:
No matter what Phase you're in, the best yogurt choice is plain, fat-free yogurt. Feel free to add 1-2 teaspoons of sugar substitute or flavor the yogurt like a ricotta crème.
People in Phase 2 can also introduce artificially sweetened, nonfat flavored yogurt. Many yogurt companies add additional sugar to their flavored yogurt, so you'll need to look for varieties that use a sugar substitute. To find them, look for the words "light" or "lite"—these labels mean that the yogurt has one-third less calories than other types of yogurt. You'll need to limit the amount of artificially sweetened, nonfat, flavored yogurt you eat to 4 ounces daily. This is because most yogurt companies have reformulated this type of yogurt by adding high-fructose corn syrup, an ingredient that's high on the glycemic index.
