Dannon is the one my support group recommends. You have to be careful with
yogurs--low fat ones may have 16 gr of sugar or more per container. DAVE

I found the cheapest lite one at walmart is only 80 calories and low in
sugar. But I have not found any sugar-free ones at the stores I shop. I
use yogert for breakfast. I have used this one from the beginning and never
had a problem with it. My nut says to make sure over-all sugars are less
than 9 grams and you shouldn't have a problem.

Sugar Free and No Sugar Added are two different things. Yogurts are no
sugars added. Dannon Light is very good and legal. I haven't looked
further because Dannon satisfies me. I also like the plain yogurts, Dannon
also, and add NLA peaches to it, and if mixed with unsweeted chocolate
(melted) and Splenda, it is a delicious desert. There are sugars in
yogurts because it comes from milk. Read the first 5 ingredients to check
for added sugar. Lyn

There is no sch thing as sugar fre yogurt because milk has lactose which is
a natual occuring sugar in milk products. I use Greek Yogurt too called
FAGE...It has 3 times the protein of any regular yogurt and is naturally
low in sugar, but naturally not sugar free either. You can add NSA
preserves to sweeten it for the most rich and creamy fat free yogurt you
ever had. It comes in flavors too but they are NOT sugar free! I bought
one to try it and could not eat it...The plain Fage i now use as sourcream
too because it has a near identical flavor to sourcream so it makes a GREAT
dip for veggies and soy crisps too...or on refried beans...etc. Once you
are allowed pureed fruit ...it makes the most awesom tasting berry yogurt
with purred fresh raspberries or strawberries or blue ones...I sweeten it
with 7 drops of Stevia (natural plant extract sweetener) and I feel like
I've eaten something REALLY naughty! But it's not! It's fabulous! A
large tub of it goes a REALLY long way! Take a peek. 1/2 Cup serving of
the fat free has 0 fat/ 4.5g sugar/ 60 cal/ 10 protein....That's pure
perfection to me! It's expensive but so worth it because it does go a long
way and gives a great protein count! www.fageusa.com/products.html

I have done Yoplait light since the beginning and I strained the ones with
fruit. I have done great with them. With so many flavors I didn't get too
bored. I still eat them now for breakfast.

Danon Lit and Fit. All yougurt has sugar from Milk, but what you want is
no sugar added. Also try greek Yougart as it is extra high in Protien.
Best of success to you.

Take the greek yogurt already mentioned and sweeten it with Splenda and a
tsp of vanilla. If you can't find greek yogurt, start with plain fat free
yogurt. Congratulations on joining the Loser's Side.

Like everyone else has said, there is no sugar free because of the milk but
I use the ones sweetened with splenda and they are Dannon Lite and fit and
I found the other day at my Save a Lot their light brand that is sweetened
with splenda and is 80 calories per 6 oz container. If those containers
have fruit in them I was told to strain it with a tea strainer until you
can have the fruit pieces. Like what some of the others have told you just
remember that sugar free and no sugar added are 2 different things. You
need to look at the source for the sugar grams. Just read the ingredients
and know that sugar grams could be from a multitude of sources. If it says
sugar or anything like sugar (high fructose corn syrup) then those are the
ones to stay away from.

I use Plain Greek Yogurt (actually prefer Trader Joes brand over Fages and
it's a bit cheaper) that I mix with SF coffee syrups and maybe a little
splenda, depending on the taste.

dannon low carb low sugar -- or -- great value brand LITE found at walmart
is made with splenda -- you will not find a sugar free or zero sugar yogurt
because there are natural sugars in it from the milk -

what you want is no added sugar, lo fat or nonfat yogurt. the dannon
mentioned is very good, but my favorite is blue bunny light no sugar added.
some of the blue bunny have chunks of fruit so you won't want to try them
yet, but the lime flavor has no chunks & is very good.

Here's what I found in my fridge:
Dannon Light n Fit, with Splenda: 6 oz., 60 calories, 0 fat, 5g protein, 8g
sugars.
Yoplait Light Thick n Creamy, with Splenda: 6 oz., 100 calories, 0 fat, 5g
protein, 10g sugars
I am 3 weeks out, and have only tried the Dannon so far, and only 1/2 a
container at a time and have had no trouble. Good luck to you. Penney

I bought the light kind. Columbo. I never found sugar free yogurt. Your not
going to be able to eat all of it at one time anyway so the sugar will be
minimal
