YOGHURT - Request for help from members please.

[asy]

OK...

So we know that yoghurt has to be less than 2% fat, and with no added sugar...

But...

The edict came the other day that Vaalia isn't allowed, which would seem to be contrary to these instructions.

I've been asked to make a list of the yoghurts available on the market and their INGREDIENTS list and nutritional panel.

All these will be submitted to Dr Cohen and the results as to what's allowed and not allowed will be posted here as the definitive guide to yoghurt.

I'd ask that anyone who has a yoghurt variety NOT LISTED HERE (I'll update as I get more yoghurts) please either type out and post here or scan and email it to me at: admin AT newyouforum.com

Also, please feel free to simply type the usual acidophilus and bifidus cultures as 'a&b cultures'.

Thanks.

THESE ARE THE YOGHURTS I HAVE DETAILS FOR ALREADY:

Jalna (with the light green lid)
Brookvale (from Aldi)
Gippsland Natural Organic Low Fat Yoghurt
Yoplait low fat.


PS: Please DO NOT use this thread for discussion, it will be DELETED.

Hi Asy,
Here is a link for a data base of nutritional content of foods in Australia.
I find it very helpful.

I found the Black Swan No fat Greek Yoghurt in Woolies which is really lovely and smooth and creamy.
It only has 0.15g fat per 100g and carbs 7.7 per 100g.
Ingredients are:
skim milk, milk solids non-fat, fibre (inulin) live yoghurt culters, soy solids.

Hope it passes the grade as it is a really nice one, and it was so hard to find one to replace the Vaalia!

Suzie Im with you, Pauls is awful. Im now having Yoplait filled with Honey Dew Melon and cinnamon. I was told that I can get back to Vaalia when I get to re-feed. That has to be something to look forward to although the Yoplait is a good alternative.

[Nelle]

not trying to start a discussion, just wondering if there was any further info about this yet? Unfortunately I have been using Vaalia since the start, and still hate it, and just wondering if I should be changing asap

[thenewvee]

Hi Nelle

Yep, you should be changing ASAP as Vaalia is too high in fat, (it should be less than 2% per 100g). After refeed you could reuse Vaalia again, but if you hate it, then it would be pointless.

Hi
I was wondering if you are able to use home made yoghurt (such as EasiYo). Sorry, I'm sure this answer is somewhere but I've been looking for an hour with no luck!
Thanks if you can answer it!

[ConnieK..]

Zanne,

I don't beleive we can have soy yoghurt.

nattyg, there are several ppl here who have used easiyo and haven't had any problems. Soon to be, Andy46 and lonniecee for a few.

Connie

[zanne]

all

I have offically told i can have soy Yougurt, but it has to comform with the same rules.
Ie has to be natural and less than 2% fat. i can have the same amount.

Have been having it for weeks......its fab and not as tart as natural yougurt.

If you are in SA you can get it from Foodland.

[carrieanne_c]

How come it doesn't put a quantity in the personalised meal plan of how many mgs of yogurt you can have-they come in different sizes? My plan says one yogurt.Wouldnt it be cool if it was the 500g or liter of yogurt. I ate yogurt option once with the container being 125g size and found that I was starving an hour later.In USA yogurts are like one cup or 250g ssize or 175 I think if I remember right for the little yoplait ones that came out in the late 70's. If it is not personal, what size are the yogurts over in downunderland?

[Doing it for ME]

Carrieanne_c it sounds strange that your program doesn't list this.
It does on mine, but as we are not allowed to put weights on here, I'll have to just say, this is a question to check in with your clinic.

Sorry

[asy]

Wow, a few questions...

No, you can't have easi-yo.
Yes, you can have soy yoghurt.
Carrieanne, I'll PM you the yoghurt amount, they're all the same. (it's the only thing that's the same across all programmes).

asy.

[ConnieK..]

I Stand corrected on both LOL

[hope_ful]

i just found an amazing yoghurt!! from an organic shop, its called:

barambah organics
99% fat free
low fat natural organic yoghurt

its only ingredients are milk, non fat milk solids and the good culture thingies

its creamy and thick and smooth and not tart and bitter, seriously the best yoghurt ive had on cohens (except for black swan which is my fave but has inulin in it)

i highly recommend to anyone who can find it!!

[kiwinui]

I have to confess I have been using easiyo the whole way through the programme, practically every day. What is the problem with it? It's plain, unflavoured, unsweetened, less than 2%. Not only that it is yummy and way cheaper than the commercially made brands....I'll check the label for the chicory root ingredient....barrring that I can't see why it would be a problem? Does anyone know why?
