Does anyone currently eat Activia yogurt? Do they really help you be regular? How's the taste and how long before you notice any changes?

Thanks in advance.

    I know there are a lot of people who love it but I am not a fan. I don't like the taste (kind of chalky for the low cal kind) and exercise and just eating well keeps me regular :blushing: However, that's not to say it won't work for you.:smile:

    I eat it every day. It tastes great. No different from other brands. I have noticed slight changes. I read somewhere that you should change brands and not eat the same yogurt everyday because each type contains different bacteria's. Activia is cheap at Costco so I tend to just eat that.

    I'm not a fan of activia either. I just drink plenty of water (like 1.5 gallons a day) and eat a leafy salad at least 4 times a week and I don't have any problems! Lol!

    I take a probiotic supplement that has the same "good bacteria" that is in activia, but without the calories and sugar. 19 grams of sugar in a little yogurt is too much for me! You can find these Probiotics at health food stores.

    I was having issues with not going but once every 3 days or so....it didn't help. What helped was eating enough healthy foods - you can't be under 1200 everyday and expect your body to get rid of waste, it'll hold it. My solution was to increase to a net 1300-1400 a day and I've been fine ever since. Plenty of water, fuits and veggies....that's the key to normalcy...:laugh:

    I don't eat it regularly but I think it tastes great. I eat it when I get yeastie beastie problems (which is often) and the acidophilus in yogurt helps a lot. I prefer Activia over a lot of yogurts.
