Greek yogurt is a thicker higher protein form of yogurt - its almost like sour cream... some brand names are Fage and Okios... I find mine at the local grocery store, local speciality market (meat market/organic market type place) as well as Trader Joes... I have yet to see it at walmart. A cup typically packs around 20+g protein is its excellent way to boost protein - you can also use it in lieu of sour cream in dishes, dips etc, or use in place of ricotta etc...
at first I hated it but had to figure out how I like it... typically most add fruit and/or SF syrups to give it flavor because it doesnt really have one... the traditional greek way is with honey... its also a base for tzatiziki (sp) sauce/dip.

I also find my Greek yogurt Fage at Wegmans in NJ...it is with the organic and vegetarian refirgerated stuff....keep looking, it's worth it!  I like it with berries and some honey drizzed on top!

Can someone please post the pumpkin muffin recipe or let me know where to find it?  I am a certified pumpkin freak.  I have a recipe, but I would love a new one to try. 

Thanks!

For me, the realization that the problem wasn't WHAT I was eating but more HOW MUCH I was eating.  So, I now eat anything I want; but, never all that I want.

A typical day for me now:

B - an egg sandwich (1 egg, 2 slices whole wheat toast, 1 oz cheese, slice tomato) -OR- oatmeal

L - either a can of healthy request soup or a sandwich with lean meat, cheese and whole wheat bread.

D - 3-4 oz lean protein, grilled. 1/2 starch (rice or potatoe), veggie or salad.

Snacks - 1 or 2 in the evening. Could be yougurt, cheese stick, nuts etc.

I'm still losing a bit on this program. I don't do a lot of exercising, but I'm an active person.
