Plain yogurt question
Hi,
I've been thinking about trying to add plain yogurt back into my WOE. I've read that the lactose in yogurt converts to lactic acid. Would it adversely affect weight loss or not? I'd love to try some cucumber salad with homemade yogurt dressing for something different from the regular lettuce salad. Also, would welcome any recipes using plain yogurt. Thanks, Linda |

Plain yoghurt is quite low-carb, and the zestier it is, the more of the lactose has been eaten by the culture and converted to lactic acid. (The "bite" = the acidity.) Also, would welcome any recipes using plain yogurt. I like raita -- yoghurt with diced cucumber, fresh mint, and cumin powder. Or cucumbers in yoghurt instead of sour cream (with a little red wine vinegar and lots of freshly ground black pepper). A dessert I eat a lot is yoghurt with berries and Splenda. Then I gather you can marinate chicken in yoghurt before cooking it, although I haven't tried that... yet. Priscilla |

Dunno about weight loss, but I'm interested in the lactic acid question also, for leveling BG. On Mendosa's site there is a page about acid reducing the GI/GL of other foods, as in salad dressing. Also an article about 'pickling' veg in yoghurt whey to reduce their GI/GL. I love yoghurt and find it very helpful. Instead of milk, I make a drink of yog + water + half and half or cream + maybe some sour cream. This satisfies craving for milk but with lower GL I think. (Yog labels list 'sugars' but they seem to really turn into 'lactic acid' in the process so are less impact.) Yog is very good in cream soups etc. Skinny -- pre-diab hypo |

Plain yogurt question
Linda,
I find plain yogurt works very well for me. It doesn't raise my blood sugar. But read the labels. A couple times I've come home with things labeled "Plain Yogurt" that turned out to be full of starch and filler. Not only are they higher carb, they taste disgusting. The plain ones that say "contains live yogurt cultures" seem to be best. Also, a couple times I've picked up vanilla yogurts that were shelved with the Plains and had labels almost identical to the plain ones. If you are in a rush you can get home only to discover you've got the stuff with 35 grams per serving by mistake. -- Jenny - Low Carbing for 4 years. At goal for weight. Type 2 diabetes, hba1c 5.2.
