That stuff is good. When I was in Afghanistan the mess hall had some amazing yogurt. No idea what brand it was though, but wish I did.

Ugh, can we give up the Greek yogurt craze already?


It's like ancient concepts, all backwards to what we (educated) people know today: fat isn't the enemy, it's the excess carbs.

I don't need 100 grams of carbs, most of it sugar, in my yogurt. Give me a yogurt chock full of tasty fats, low in carbs - and you'll have an addict regularly buying your product. :)

I doubt this one is any different from other greek yogurts - it'll have an epic amount of sugar for such a small little supposedly healthy serving cup.

Why is the world punching the throttle on the drive toward the low-fat fantasy? And here I thought we'd be getting more low-carb/low-sugar versions of different foods.

Greek yogurt has less liquid, and tends to be tarter. Specifically, the one I linked is full fat, which means full flavor, and good mouth feel. "Traditional" American yogurt is the pretender. It's bland, over-sweetened, and too thin. Greek yogurt has been a savior.

? Greek yogurt has less carbs, more fat and more protein than regular yogurt.

I can't have Greek Yogurt because I can't find a brand that doesn't taste like Sour Cream.

I just get the Fage 0% from Costco and add some mixed frozen berries (also from Costco). I'll do a week of it for breakfast then switch to something else for a week then go back.

That could be, They sell what people buy. I HIGHLY recommend the Cabot plain if you see it. For other brands, you have to read the labels. I use the plain yogurt, and fold in a little bit of honey, and sometimes fresh fruit. My daughter turned me on to the folding technique instead of mixing well. By folding it, you get alternating tart and sweet portions which makes it more interesting. Also, by using honey, you can get different flavors, especially if you buy craft made honey. The flavor differences aren't usually dramatic, but you can definitely tell the difference, and it's a good way to appreciate the different honey types.

Too bad Greek yogurt tastes like runny shit dragged through a puddle of vomit and doused with piss.

They need a new word for Yogurt. The term Yogurt just sound unappealing.

*cough*

Anyway, that's right, Greek yogurt is the way to go. Probiotics, almost double the protein by volume, half the sodium, fewer carbs, it makes your body burn fat.... pretty much the only bad thing about it is the higher cost.

Even if you don't dig on yogurt, keep it in the fridge for your lady friend. It pays off. ;)

Well, it's Turkish. And it sounds no where near as nasty as Brogurt, which conjurs images of conveniently packaged, environmentally friendly containers of man jam.

This. I'm so sick of these damn food trends.

Well, I don't mind GOOD food trends.

I may have seen this trend misrepresented by bad examples of greek yogurt.
There seems to be a common belief that it is typically lower carb.


Food trends that follow the "lower carb, a hell of a lot less sugar" plan are A-OK in my book.

Low fat trends need to die a painful death. So misunderstood and misrepresented, low-fat diet fads have done more harm for civilization than one might imagine at first thought.
