Does anyone know of any low carb yogurt brands?
I'm assuming such a thing exists, but I don't think I've ever noticed them at the grocery store before....

Yep, CarbMaster yogurt. I get mine at Kroger. 80 calories, 4 grams of carbs (3 net), and 12 grams of protein. I just wish it had more fat in it, as it only has 1.5 grams per serving. But it tastes great, and I can always get my fat from other sources.

Fage. The full-fat is the lowest carb, but can be hard to find (at least for me now that they don't carry it at Trader Joe's any more.) It's creamy, filling and delicious.
The 2% fat Fage Total is also good and pretty low-carb if you have a half cup or smaller serving (I believe it's 9 carbs per cup) -- but not quite the creamy indulgence that the Full Fat is. Anyone that can tell me where I can still find Full Fat Fage in Southern California? I'd love to stock up.

Dannon Light and Fit has a low carb like the Kroger that actually has the milk sugar taken out of the yogurt to make it lower carb, not just an absence of added sugar.
It's more widely available than the Kroger. You have to be careful not to get the one with the same brand name that's just nonfat. It comes in vanilla, strawberry, and peach. |

I'll just pipe in -- I seem to be the only one I've ever seen on lcf with this issue but both the specially formulated lowcarb yogurt and the lowcarb milk stall me to a dead stop. Weirdly, I can tolerate any regular dairy products with no problem. So just be aware when you add special lc dairy in that if you have a problem, it could be the lc milk products ... I am jealous that everyone else seems to tolerate them, lol!!!
Second thing, many of the comments above, and in general around here about yogurt, are due to the fact that people are eating plain or plain greek yogurt and applying something called "the yogurt exception" to the carb count of yogurt, counting only 4 net carbs per cup (8 oz). That is what I do too. Here is the origin of that idea. This is a blurb promoting a book by Doctors Jack Goldberg, and Karen O'Mara called The GO-Diet "The problem with the stated carbohydrate content on the packages of fermented food products arises because the government makes manufacturers count the carbohydrates of food "by difference." That means they measure everything else including water and ash and fats and proteins. Then "by difference," they assume everything else is carbohydrate. This works quite well for most foods including milk. However, to make yogurt, buttermilk and kefir, the milk is inoculated with the lactic acid bacteria. These bacteria use up almost all the milk sugar called "lactose" and convert it into lactic acid. It is this lactic acid which curds the milk and gives the taste to the product. Since these bacteria have "eaten" most of the milk sugar by the time you buy it (or make it yourself.) At the time you eat it, how can there be much carbohydrate left? It is the lactic acid which is counted as carbohydrate. Therefore, you can eat up to a half cup of plain yogurt, buttermilk, or kefir and only count 2 grams of carbohydrates (Dr. Goldberg has measured this in his own laboratory.) One cup will contain about 4 grams of carbohydrates. Daily consumption colonizes the intestine with these bacteria to handle small amounts of lactose in yogurt (or even sugar-free ice cream later.) Don't be afraid of plain, unsweetened varieties. This is how kefir and yogurt have traditionally been used. You may find that "plain" tastes best of all. Or, you can add your own no-calorie sweeteners and flavorings (or berries or nuts and seeds). It may be better if the product is "bovine growth hormone free" although this is still controversial. Does it matter if it's "nonfat", "low fat" or "original, normal fat"? No. This will affect the texture a bit, but on this diet, you can eat any fat content product. Your preference rules here. We prefer the "mouth feel" of the whole milk varieties. Try them all and decide for yourself..." Contents copyright © 1999 — 2009 Low Carb Luxury, Inc.

I don't think we get special 'low carb' yoghurt here in the UK, but if we did I'd count them as 'frankenfoods' and woudn't touch them with a bargepole (as we say!). I always get Fage or any greek yoghurt, organic if I can afford it that week, all of which are 10%fat...yum.

TaDa, I used to subscribe to that yogurt carb theory too, but since I've seen where the testing that was done to show that happens was flawed. The guy was only measuring lactose, and while the bacteria changes lactose into something else, so it appeared to be "gone," most of what it changed into had the same useable carb values. My blood sugar testing, while not a totally precise thing of course, leads me to think the carb counts on the labels are closer to right than the 4 grams. Of course, I suppose it may again be some substance that various metabolisms digest differently. I bought some Fage this weekend and am going to carefully test it to see if I can believe that lower carb value they show of 6 grams. Whenever a product has less carbs than the similar ones on the shelf, I always wonder if it was just a quirk in testing and/or labeling or real. Example: the notorious Lindt 85% chocolate bars. pfft! LOL
And yes, miss sparky, they contain Splenda, so they would count on your forbidden list. *s* Personally, I think removing the milk sugar is a good thing. Last edited by ravenrose; 03-02-2010 at 05:43 AM.. |

This is an old thread, but since it got bumped I thought I would mention that Safeway's Open Nature brand has a plain Greek yogurt that is 5 g carbs and 18 g protein in a 6 oz container. I think that is the lowest I have seen for Greek style yogurt.
I prefer full fat yogurt and this is non-fat, so I stir in a tablespoon of hwc. |

I have just started buying Source Greek Yogurt. The pk that comes with lemon and vanilla is 4g total carbs and the strawberry/peach is 5g a container. Very thick and rich. It is made with sweetener so no real sugar is added. Its a nice addition to my woe.

For those who have issues with additives--read the labels carefully! I've discovered that many yoghurts, even the full fat ones, have thickeners of various types. Those thickeners seem to be what spikes my blood sugar, since yoghurt made with only milk and cream barely makes it blip.
My fav is Greek Gods full fat plain. Walmart carries it around here. I can't get the full fat at any of the local hippie/co-op or Whole Foods, they only have low fat and fat free (and those ALWAYS have various types of thickeners in them). |

Love, love, love Greek yogurt. I usually buy the Greek Gods full fat one. I used to get the Trader Joe's brand one but I don't live near one anymore. I don't know if they still carry a good one. I usually add a splash of DaVinci or Torani syrup in for flavor. Sometimes fresh berries and/or chopped nuts. Yummo!
If you are on the West Coast the Kroger stores that carry Carbmaster yogurt are Fred Meyer. Not a bad choice, but I do so prefer the creaminess of the Greek.

I'm in the DFW area & Kroger has the carbmaster in the dairy section.
Fage is near the produce & organic section. Some WalMarts have Fage both 0% & 2%. Target has both & my Costco has the best price for a large container @ 4.99 ![]() ![]()

I tried the Greek Gods plain yogurt, but did not like it as much as Fage or Open Nature. I was also disappointed to see it only had 6 g protein per serving.
