Are you going to stick with it, might it get nicer? I find yoghurt a great help for my diet - especially agree yoghurt. I wasn't a huge fan of it to start with (it was just ok) but now happily enjoy it plain and really like it.

I'm not a lover of yoghurt either and the ones I like my tester doesn't!! For the past couple of weeks I have tried Weightwatchers Crème freche with a layer of fruit at the bottom. This was the 1st time I had tried Crème freche and must admit it is a lot nicer than yoghurt. My tester also likes them, which is a bonus eg fasting blood today 6.9. @8.20. Approx 90mins after 1 of these pots 6.5.

Sorry I was confused (how unusual) it was Weightwatchers Fromage Frais with berries.

I did buy a pot of Crème freche though.

I will try, though I was starving 3 hours later

Certainly not everyone likes plain greek yogurt it AlIy it is not something you have to eat. I could never eat it for breakfast so always had it with berries as a dessert after my main meal but I went right off it. I did think of trying it again but freezing it along with the berries in it as a sort of ice cream may be more palatable that way

Do you like cinnamon? I add it to my yogurt to add flavour and I add ground flaxseeds to fill me up for hours, typically its 6 hrs between breakfast and lunch so my flaxseed and yogurt needs to be filling

1 cup = 225 grammes. I hope this helps @ally1 . I had a few problems copying the chart but I think it's easy enough to read now. I hope this is of help. :)

This is not going to help but I love the stuff, Lidl's Greek does it for me, anyway it comes, at the moment nuts and passion fruit till the fresh rasps appear.
@ally1 if you think it might help, work it up a bit at a time with some low carb high protein items that you do like. It is good for padding nuts out, so you don't get a mouthful of nuts!!!
To you

Get your numbers down first @ally1 (back to where they were) and then test the melon. You know the drill by now :) .... and stick with the yoghurt as you may end up liking it

It may not matter for all, but for me that would be high carb low fat option.
