Is yogurt effective in weight loss?

Answer 1

Almost any food is fattening if eaten in large quantities.

Yogurt is a food that has important nutrients with a moderate amount of calories.

Eight (US) ounces of PLAIN yogurt has 143 calories.

When fruit, sugar, or other flavors are added, the calorie count rises.

You need to compare the calorie content of the brands and flavors when you're shopping for yogurt or any foods.

There are few companies that still sell yogurt in 8 oz. containers. This is marketing. As the container sizes shrink, the price does not. A 5 oz. container will have fewer calories from the amount of yogurt in them, but the calories will also come from the additives.

By mixing your own flavors using plain yogurt, you will control the amount of sugar, honey, fruit, etc. and therefor the calorie content. The key is to educate yourself on the calorie count of the foods you like.

Answer 3

Low fat yogurt can help you lose weight, but whether or not it will depends on how much of it you eat, what other things you eat, and what kind of activity you engage in. Any effective weight loss program will have to look at the big picture and make some life changes to be effective. It is improbable that looking at one small thing to change something like your weight will make much difference. Note that you can alter your weight, but only you can do it. And not by using a magic machine or a miracle pill. To affect change, you must change.

Answer 4

Plain yogurt is very good for you. The best to buy is plain greek yogurt (Chobani is great!) It contains a good amount of protein. Try not to buy yogurts with the extra sugars and fruits. Look for the low in fat plain variety. You can also use the plain yogurt as a substitute for sour cream.

Answer 5

It could if it is Activia. If you want good yogurt, try yoplait whips, especially the orange creme- its delicious and light, a great snack! But if you want to lose weight, eat healthy and exercise!

Losing weight isn't as simple as adding one thing to your diet. If you replace a snack that is higher in calories with a serving of yogurt, yes, that is a good step in losing weight. However, if that's the only change you make, you won't have much result. You have to take into consideration everything you eat, in addition to your exercise habits.
