Hi all
I've been a low (ish) carber for three months now and have brought my BG levels down to an average of 5.7 from 16.4 and have lost 2.5 stone.
Love my 85% chocolate treat and a bag of crisps BUT moderately.
I really want to bring into my food chain some full fat yogurt (to mix with a drissle of honey and berrys),i have stood in the supermarkets staring at the labels like we all do and can't find one with what I think is a low enough carb content,may be I'm trying to hard,any ideas folks.
Thank you.

greek yohurt 10% fat cant you find that ?
 
But if you are going to add honey that will ramp up the carb content.
I get the Greek style full fat yoghurt from Lidl as that is quite low, and mix it with desiccated cocoanut - for the fibre.
When I have berries I add cream so as not to overdo the carbs
 
They all have some carbs in them.

Full fat Greek Yogurt is good. I usually have Fage but it is expensive. I wouldn't dare put honey in it. almost 100% sugar. I just add 2 or 3 strawberries or 6 raspberries. Blueberries spike me.
 
Ok thank you
The honey is only a tiny tiny back up as I tried Skyr and it was so bland.
I did look at the Greek yogurt in Lidls BUT this label looking makes you paranoid ,always looking as low as possible.Ok I'll drop the honey for a hand full of raspberries.

We have been getting 2 kg tubs of Jalna Greek style full fat yoghurt, as the other slightly lower carb yoghurt we normally buy is in short supply.

Hi bulkbiker
Ok never though of that,must get my head around the high fat content.
I'm desperate to get this condition under control,I've tried so hard to lose weight which I've done by keeping the carbs low and good exercise but get worried about to much fat.
As per usual had no real guidance other than a plate of stodge.
Thank you.

I do not think it is available outside of Australia, there is nothing on their website saying that it is exported.

If Jalna were to export the yoghurt it would most likely be to China.

The Chinese are big buyers of Australian dairy products, milk in powdered form, cheese etc. They like our vitamens and baby formula as well.
 
We are making our own yogurt with 33% fat. Cream. Adding some berries.It's far better than anything you can buy and zero
Additives.
 
Oooooooooh @Pura Vida I make all the yoghurt we eat - why had it not occurred to me to add CREAM at the point of making it?!

#missingoutbigtime

Off to add an extra pot of double cream to my shopping list!

Thanks!

I have Yeo Valley organic Greek style natural yogurt and Waitrose full fat own brand. I have tried many brands, something for every taste.
