Yogurt question

[Anonymous]

What is the best yogurt for me to eat?

I am trying to watch my weight. I LOVE yogurt, but am always switching around brands/kinds depending on what's on sale. I usually buy non-fat, low calorie options (Dannon Light n Fit). These are under 100 calories per cup (usually 80-90) and boast a "fat free" label.
However, I've heard that yogurt with full-fat or at least some fat is better and keeps you fuller longer.

Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Buy plain, storebrand. Read the label!!!
Yoghurt is one of those things where companies cheat and sell crap!!!
As in; high fructose corn syrup! Aspartame! Did I mention corn syrup? Wheat! Artificial flavors! You name it!

There should only be milk in yoghurt - and the cultures!
I look at the label sometimes and think: WTH?! This shouldn't even be allowed!

I think your " light and fit " is one of the offenders actually!

Buy plain yogurt and use jam to sweeten. I add nuts, flaxseed or granola. Much tastier and much healthier!

I like plain 2% Fage Greek yogurt, plus fruit or 100% fruit spread, nuts and seeds.

Buy plain, organic low-fat yogurt -- greek or Dannon. Add your own fresh fruit or a teaspoon of local honey.

The non-fat sugar free crap makes me weep--it's not even close to being what yogurt should be.

I make my own with 2% milk, so I know exactly what's in it, and strain it to make it Greek-style. It's easier than you think, only about 5 mins active time.
I eat it with granola and stewed fruit/ honey, or even with a drizzle of olive oil and za'atar.
