    If you are going to use yogurt, you are better off getting unsweetened and than using stevia or another nutritional sweetener to add more flavor.

    I consume it often, and it's do unsweetened full fat Wegmans Greek yogurt, add 50g of raspberries or 77g of blackberries with 1 tbsp of Stevia. I know this "uses" a lot my carbs, but it's worth it.

    @psuLemon the "yogurt carbs don't count because fermentation" sounds like wishful thinking to me, so I am interested in your thoughts. Sounds like you ARE counting yogurt carbs.

    Hell yea they count.

    Can I just throw a spanner in the works with Icelandic Skyr! No reason other than to broaden the rivalry and it’s better than both! 😉

    I hope it's the miracle Cure at that price. :wink:

    Ahh, it’s the same price as Greek here in the U.K.! If it were significantly more I’d agree there’s not a lot of material difference worth paying extra for.

    I just checked at my WF (through amazon prime) and you can find greek for 13 cents an oz, while the cheapest skyr is 19 cents per oz. So for my location I don't think it's that significant a difference (it is a difference, $3.12 vs $4.56 for 24 oz, plain, the same prices available for 0-5%), but of course it depends on how much one eats and the difference in your particular store (which is going to vary throughout the US and by date).

    I lost 55 lbs eating low carb and continue the way of eating. I eat plain, high fat greek yogurt and add some berries, a sprinkle of unsweetened coconut and a little keto granola. It is very satisfying.

    While there is nothing “magical” about low carb way of eating, many people not only lose weight this way, but find it alleviates or even eliminates many other health related troubles. (I have been fully saved from migraines with this way of eating). You may want to join the private low carb eaters group here, you will get lots of great advice from people who believe in this woe, many who have been doing it for years. (You can also avoid the posts simply telling you low carb is <insert any of the lengthy list of negative terms you get here> when you ask a question). Good Luck!

    There is a brand of Greek yogurt called Two Good. It has 3 grams of carbs and 12gm of protein. I’ve switched from Fage to that. Fage was sometimes on sale, but most of the time not. This one is always on sale at Food Lion, 4 for $5.
