YOGURT ~ JUST DESSERT ~ No Sugar!

What are you having for dessert TODAY!!! YOGURT with blueberries (any fruit – apples), a handful of seeds or nuts, flax seeds, chia seeds. Whatever tickles your fancy.

Yogurt

I grew up on yogurt. The quality of your yogurt depends on the quality of your ingredients. This is such a good video I wanted to share it with you. NO SUGAR!!! ignore those recipes low sugar yogurt. BAH!!! You don’t even have to buy a yogurt maker. Notice when you have home made yogurt has a slight fermented acidic notes. Something like Kambucha. If you think it’s sour, you’ve been eating way too much sugar in your diet. I am at a point where ice cream is too sweet. I cant eat it. Take care of yourself for me! Please be good to yourself!

The next thing you want to know is ..What is the best yogurt?

HOME MADE YOGURT

NEXT BEST YOGURT: GI (Glucose Index) for GREEK YOGURT : 11. The GI for ice cream : 88!!! Replace your sour cream (GI 56) with Greek yogurt – for your baked potatoes-a side with any meal to add creaminess and balance to what you are eating. Instead of a dollop of ice cream or whip cream, use a dollop of yogurt? Note: GI under 55 is considered low.

GREEK style yogurt has the least amount of carbs.

DOCTORS AGREE
Full fat Greek yogurt is your #1 choice.
2% is the lowest percentage you want to buy.

Did You Know?

If you are lactose intolerant you can eat yogurt.

YOGURT contains lactase which is the enzyme our bodies need to break down lactose.
Yogurt is often beneficial to the lactose intolerant.

Blame The Manufacturers Then .. Blame Yourself!

MANUFACTURERS know that people like sugar. No, people are obsessed with sugar. Sugar is a preservative and enhances flavours. What would you think if I told you 70% of the supermarket shelves would be empty if sugar products were removed.

PIONEERS did not know the price you pay for sugar. Today’s ULTRA “Processed Foods” have way too much sugar. A lot of sugar is found in processed foods not as a preservative but to eat freely. Read your labels. The first ingredient in most power bars is sugar. Sugar is found in abundance from white bread, whole wheat bread to milkshakes.

Sugar Is Legal

GLUTEN FREE chocolate brownies have listed sugar as the number one ingredient written on the side of the box.

Diabetes (type 2) was diagnosed for a 13 yrs old child! !Diabetes leads to heart disease… It all starts with sugar. Since sugar is legal, we can eat as much as we like. Don’t be porous and let this information go right through you. I hope you are mindful of the dangers from sugar.

GOOD Dessert CHOICES

Fruits are an excellent sources of minerals, vitamins and enzymes. They are easily digested and excise a cleansing effect on blood. Each and every fruit is enriched with their own kinds of nutrients. And, 70% dark chocolate is full of manganese!

Blueberries are at the top of the nutritional food chain. I have them around all the time. If it’s not fresh, it is frozen. But, always GOOD! If you have to have sugar, be sensible about it.

    I’ve never attempted to make yogurt myself, but do eat plain Greek yogurt, for the protein. Good to know it’s lowest in carbs as well! I’ve always assumed low fat was better though, and use the 0% option. Why is full fat or 2% preferrable? Just wondering…

    I’m trying to get healthier and lose weight, so am glad to have discovered your website! BTW, we are neighbours. I live in the GTA. Cheers! 👋

      New research has proven that “FAT” is not bad for you. It’s the reverse. from the old American/ Canadian Food Guide. Eat cheese, full fat products for the health benefits. But, don’t overdo it. That is where sensible eating comes in. Get your nutrition. Don’t skimp on that. Avocado is a “fatty” food. Good fat. Keto diet promotes Fat/High protein diet. It is good. But, don’t stay on it for a long time. Migrate to the Mediterranean food selections. You don’t want to eat hard fat. A steak is marbled with fat. Meat lovers prefer Rib eye due to the uniform marbling. Dont be afraid of full fat yogurt. The tide has turned toward better health!

      It’s easy to make yogurt. Home made can be a bit more tangy. Sometimes it depends on familial habits. If your mother made it, you would be an easy candidate for it. It truly is so easy to do. Eat yogurt every day. It satiates when you are working on weight loss. As a well known probiotic, you also need its twin – a prebiotic. (Prebiotics are types of fiber that feed your friendly gut bacteria.). Garlic, onions, leeks, asparagus, bananas, barley, oats, cocoa, flaxseeds, Jicama root – is low in calories and high in fiber, including the prebiotic fiber inulin. When you have yogurt add cocoa powder, chopped banana with a sprinkle of flaxseeds. That’s what I had this morning! Jicama tastes like apples. Some prebiotic are hard to find like Jicama, burdock & yacon & konjak root.sweet potatoes (includes starch) acts as a prebiotic, add yogurt as a topper for a baked sweet potato and your are helping your gut bacteria.The road to good health and satisfying your hunger too. Good food promotes weight loss.

    My husband and I try to eat healthy. I start most every day with a bowl of plain yogurt topped with fresh blueberries and a drizzle of honey. It is delicious and healthy. I end my day with one small square of dark chocolate.

      I like your beginning to end day. I am a chocoholic and appreciate your chocolate finale as you end the day. Some countries have chocolate about 2 hours after dinner, especially celebratory dinners. A tradition I like to encourage! 🙂
