Did you know that almost ALL yogurts are flat out bad
news for your waistline?
"Light" yogurts, for instance, are absolutely terrible for you, and for more reasons that one. First, most "light" yogurts are loaded with artificial sweeteners and/or high fructose corn syrup.
High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is one of the top 3 WORST ingredients you could ever eat. Why???? It made primarily of fructose which is a sugar which easily converts to fatwhen consumed in sizable quantities..
As for artificial sweeteners as the name says, it’s artificial...do we really want to be putting artificial products into our bodes...I don’t!
HFCS is genetically modified and spikes blood sugar and insulin like almost no other food or ingredient.
Bottom line, just because something is low calorie (i.e. "Light") doesn't make it a healthy choice, or even a choice that will positively affect your fat loss goals.
What about "fat free" yogurts?
First of all fat is not bad, we need fat!!! It’s a critical nutrient that helps your fat loss efforts, it’s a key contributor to stabilizing many important hormones that will keep your body burning fat. Secondly, most fat-free yogurts are LOADED with sugar. Getting rid of the healthy fats and loading up on sugar is simply a bad plan! But hats off to the manufacturers, great marketing!!.
Are all yoghurts bad?
No, in fact there's ONE type of yogurt that we highly recommend you use as part of your fat-burning diet...and that's Organic Plain Greek Yogurt.
First, Greek yogurt has double the protein of regular yogurt, so you get more protein punch in every spoonful. Second, by choosing the plain variety you avoid all the extra, unnecessary, artificial ingredients along with calorie-boosting excess sugar. Lastly, by going organic you'll avoid the hormones and antibiotics that are otherwise generally injected in the typical cow.
Organic Greek yoghurt is great for a mid morning snack on to jazz up a bowl of oats in the morning.
