Plain Greek full fat is the one most mentioned on here. Lite anything is to be avoided if you're doing LCHF or similar.

They're usually tucked away on most supermarket shelves I find but of course they're outnumbered by the half-fats, no-fats, fruity low-fats etc

If you do a search using the search function of the forum - you'll find some very good pointers. There are a surprising number of full fat yoghurts in the mainstream supermarkets you just need to invest some time reading labels.

Onken is one brand I know of. ASDA do a Greek yoghurt that is full fat - their own "Chosen by you" label.
Thank you ,will have a look x

Look at the carb total on the packet usually shown as per 100 grams.

Not being able to eat as many chocolate digestives as I used to.
Shame on you all, what would your diebeticiians say? (That's meant to be a joke by the way, before somebody bites my (full) fat head off.)

I've recently bought greek style yog's from both Sainsbury and Tesco. Noticed that in both shops they are on the bottom shelf of the fridge, not in the natural eyeline!

Alpro do a few different 'yoghurts'. I love the coconut one which has 2.3g of carbs / 100g.

I'm sure there's more.
Asda do a full litre full fat plain for two and half quidish.
You then add whatever you like and know your yoghurt inside out.
Even better is make your own
Make two or three litres in a night should last the week adjust accordingly.
Very easy and no equipment needed beyond a pan and some containers.

My friend has recently suggested making my own yoghurt - could you suggest a brand?

It's not that hard once you get a grip of things.
When I first arrived here I felt a little lost and overwhelmed.
I decided right off I would be keeping it simple as possible

Boil some milk in a pan.
Cool to finger temperature.
Stir in some full fat live yoghurt that has been at room temp a few hours..... tablespoon max.
Put into airtight contianers .... Kilner jars jam jars plastic pots with air tight lids.
Bung in the airing cupboard or somewhere else nice and warm.
Come back twelve hours later and put in fridge to stop fermentation.
Eat.
If you leave it 24 hours it has a more tart taste.
Lovely stuff.
