Greek yogurt. Inhibits weight loss?

That article is nonsense because lactose content of greek yogurt (or any other fermented dairy product for that matter) is way lower than what you would find in milk.
For that reason lactose intolerant people can drink yogurt and peds actually advise parents to introduce yogurt into baby's diet before cows milk as it is much easier digestable by their GI system.

<~~ Currently shoveling greek yogurt into her face.. mmmmmmm

I used to eat like 5 yogurts a day and I lost my weight... people need educations.

That is sooooo untrue. I eat Fage Greek Yogurt 0% with unsweetened raspberries daily and noticed I lose weight daily. Once I ate it all day and woke up to a 2lbs loss. On my way to the fridge to have another bowl. I sweeten mine with Nustevia...delish

ack! zombie thread that I even replied to when it was fresh... Shame on me.

Is it just me or do folks down in Hollyweird act like eating is a suicide attempt?

Well, to be fair...for many of them it is.

Seriously, the most beautiful girls you've ever seen, who are naturally thin and already have figures to die for, will walk into an audition and hear that they're going to play the "fat friend next door" because they're not thin enough.

I'd be surprised if most actresses' BMIs are over 18. They are THIN.

And then we have these stories in the newspaper (or Marie Claire, or whatever) about how it's because they do yoga, or they don't eat dairy, or whatever.

It's not because they don't eat dairy.

Crap.. me too.. DOH

howdy!

kimberly snyder is actually super popular, and has a lot of great advice.

my HUGE criticism of her, though, is that she totally pushes a completely vegan lifestyle, and has a tendency not to cater her advice towards folks that do eat meat/dairy.

while she's correct in saying that may humans lose the ability to process dairy at a young age (we're basically not meant to have the dairy of other animals after we've stopped breast feeding), it's not true for every single human in the world. plenty of folks still eat dairy and don't have a problem processing it, but there are also lots of folks who hit a weight loss wall and can't figure out why. for me, cutting dairy reduces bloating and allows my body to process foods much much much more efficiently. i'm also a minority, which [genetically] plays a role in your lactose tolerance. i'm not lactose-intolerant, but i am lactose-sensitive, so cutting dairy allows me to not only cut out some calorie-dense foods (which is how it tends to help folks drop weight no matter what their tolerances are), but also allows my digestive system as a whole to function better.

i know yogurt is also meant to help with digestive help, so i think it's mostly a matter of finding out what works for you. there have been plenty of studies that suggest that yogurt eaters lose more weight, especially around the belly area (who WOULDN'T want to lose weight THERE?!), than those that don't eat it. i think the last thing i read said you get the benefits at 18 oz/day, which is A LOT of yogurt to me, but might be worth it if i could stomach it.

She is correct in stating we don't digest dairy very well. Some people handle it better than others though, you would notice bloating, gas, and perhaps constipation if you had issues with it . It also makes some people break out. The issue is for SOME people that non organic dairy typically has a lot of hormones in it from what they pump up the cows with to increase milk production. This can interfere with your own hormone profile, particularly for women. But, if you don't have any issues with it, it is a great protein source! Fermented dairy(Kefir) is also very helpful to your gut bacteria!

or does it help with weight loss? I like Greek yogurt because it helps me meet my macros.
