Kroger Carb Master Yogurt -- Fantastic

I love yogurt, and most of the stores around here don't carry any low-
carb yogurt except for the chalky stuff that comes in four tiny 1/2-
cups in a pack, that is three or four carbs per 1/2-cup.

I happened across Kroger's new "Carb Master" yogurt the other day here
in the Atlanta area. It is goooood stuff. I like all the flavors
except for vanilla which isn't bad, it just is boring.

You get a full-sized carton of yogurt and it is only 3 carbs.

I know this sounds like an ad, but I'm worried that Kroger will stop
carrying it if it doesn't sell well enough.

I've told the manager in every store I've been in that they should
carry the stuff forever and ever.

Go out and buy lots of the stuff so it will always be available to
ME!!

Their I used to eat their CarbMaster yogurt when I lived near a Kroger...but
since I started making my own yogurt, no store-bought yogurt can even
compare! Good thing too, since our nearest Kroger is over an hour away. I
used to enjoy Blue Bunny's low carb yogurt also, in those days. Glad you
found something you enjoy so much .

Are the claims about a low carb count of "aged" yogurt known to be true?

In effect, the claim is that the carb count on the store bought
container aren't correct because bacteria metabolize the carbs. If I
understood the claim, that is.

According to Bob P, it would be true for properly prepared yogurt. But my
question always remains: how can I know if the label does claim it? BG? If
it passes that test for a diabetic, perhaps it's ok. For the LCer trying to
stay within a range? That's tricker. If you eat enough to cause a sudden
water weight, then you have your answer. Unless it's really sweet, I doubt
most people will do that. One can also use keto-sticks, I guess.

That's my understanding too, but I don't know if it's true. I've also
heard that this effect is more pronounced with homemade yogurt, but I
don't recall why.

I'm also not sure how much of the carb count in a flavored yogurt
comes from the yogurt, and how much comes from the stuff they added to
make it taste good. I guess one could compare the plain version to a
flavored version to get an idea.

Kroger is pretty good about LC stuff, they are the only chain around here
that carries Hood's milk and Breyer's CarbSmart ice cream and bars.

I consider that scary. Have you tried eating some fat with it? There has
been research that shows that damage does occur above 105 or so. It's good
that it goes back down quickly, but given the loose way the medical
establishment has dealt with diabetes in the past, I'd rather err on the
side of caution. Most of the time, anyway.

It would be interesting to see with with just the yogurt. What is the

I just hope the peaks aren't slowly killing off something you want....of

Thanks for the data, though. All T2D should conduct this kind of test
rather than relying on claimed carb counts for LC foods (well, non-obvious
LC foods, that is), IMO.

Hi, Roger --

I consider that scary.

Not for me -- my goals a 100 for fasting, 140 at 1 hour and 120
at 2 hours. This is definitely "in there."

Have you tried eating some fat with it?

No -- I usually just have it by itself, partly because I can't think
of what else would "go" with it, and partly because it's filling
enough that I'm not hungry for anything more.

Initially I tried three or four ounces of berries and one cup of the
yogurt -- it was just too much food.

There has
been research that shows that damage does occur above 105 or so. It's good
that it goes back down quickly, but given the loose way the medical
establishment has dealt with diabetes in the past, I'd rather err on the
side of caution. Most of the time, anyway.

Some people are "low-spike", like Alan S. I just want to keep it
within my goal ranges. If it's below 100 "most" of the time, with no
meds, I'm happy.

It would be interesting to see with with just the yogurt.

Yes -- that would be a good one to test.

What is the claimed carb count for your meal?

Total carbs would be 14g with 2g fiber for a 12g net (this includes
one carb for the Splenda I forgot in the original post).

You have provided some great information.

I applaud you on your methodology and your lifestyle. Don't let
anybody discourage you.

Thanks for sharing.

Well, since it meets your stated goals, I guess it's no biggie. But I'd
consider putting some chopped walnuts in there and perhaps 1/2 of the about
of berries. Walnuts are supposed to be a good source of omega 3 fats and
they would bring the fiber content up & perhaps blunt the peak due to the
fat.

I would say the same thing, but I guess it's a matter of what one considers
most of the time. I'd say once a week compared to once a day, whereas
others would say once a month. Who knows. Our time comes when it comes and
very few of us will be truly able to say that having done this one tiny
thing different would have made the difference.

Hmm....so a 12 g took you almost up to the limit, and that was last summer.
I wonder how much this could vary from day to day. My guess is that more
activity might lessen the peak and less might let it go up more. Or, higher
FBG might lead to higher peaks.

I'd like to know how some fat mixed in would affect matters. Maybe I'll be
my own guinea pig.

Thanks Mel.

I've been eating the 3g Blue Bunny at Walmart, but they switched to
Lite version that is probably more accurate in the carb count. I'll
definitely try the Kroger next.
