Hey, it’s Josh!
Did you know that almost ALL yogurts are flat out bad news for your waistline?
“Light” yogurts, for instance, are absolutely terrible for you, and for more reasons than one.
First, most “light” yogurts are loaded with artificial sweeteners and/or high fructose corn syrup.
High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is one of
the top 3 WORST ingredients you could ever consume.
First, as its name suggests, it’s made of primarily fructose, a sugar that easily spills over to fat storage when consumed in sizable quantities.
And artificial sweeteners are… well… artificial. Do you really want to put chemically-altered, man-made ingredients that don’t exist in nature into your body? Me either.
Second, HFCS is made from genetically-modified corn (i.e., GMO).
Third, HFCS spikes blood sugar and insulin like almost no other food or ingredient.
Bad news all around.
Bottom line, just because something is low calorie (i.e. “Light”) doesn’t make it a healthy choice, or even a choice that will positively affect your fat loss goals.
What about “fat free” yogurts?
Well, hopefully we all know and understand by now that fat isn’t bad. Fat is a critical nutrient to both your health and your fat loss efforts and actually helps to naturally stabilize many important hormones in your body that play a key role in optimizing your body’s fat-burning environment.
Secondly, most fat-free yogurts are LOADED with sugar. Here’s a plan: Let’s get rid of the naturally occurring healthy fats and load up on sugar instead! Sounds like a plan to me… a really bad one.
So does that mean you should be avoiding all yogurts?
No, in fact there’s ONE type of yogurt that I highly recommend you use as part of your fat-burning diet… and that’s Organic Plain Greek Yogurt.
First, Greek yogurt has double the protein of regular yogurt, so you get more protein punch in every spoonful.
Second, by choosing the plain variety you avoid all the extra, unnecessary, artificial ingredients along with calorie-boosting excess sugar.
Lastly, by going organic you’ll avoid the hormones and antibiotics that are otherwise generally injected in the typical cow.
Greek Yogurt is my #1 pick for a mid-meal snack and I enjoy a serving of Greek yogurt just about every day. I recommend you do the same.
Another incredible mid-meal snack option is the below fat-burning “milkshake” that I personally use daily. It tastes absolutely AMAZING and it couldn’t be any more healthy:
