Sorry girls but I don't check in too often. The Yogurt Fast, I learned about from another lowcarb board. The so called, Yogurt Exception, says that the live bacteria in the yogurt destroys much of the carbs in the yogurt and, therefore, is allowable by some lowcarb standards. Yes, it is contradictory to Atkins. Of course, it has to either be plain or at least sugar free. A very popular yogurt is the Blue Bunny Lite or the Kroger Lite (sugar free). Many make yocheese from the regular full fat yogurt (drain the whey from it) and add such sweeteners as Davinci flavored syrups. Now that the lowcarb yogurts are finally on the market that just adds more choices. The fast involves eating 5-6 containers of yogurt only per day. I lost a lot of weight doing the modified fast which involves yogurt for breakfast, lunch, and snack and a regular lowcarb dinner. I still eat a lot of yogurt everyday. Couldn't live without it. I don't have any trouble getting my carbs up to 60-70 per day eating lots of veggies, lowcarb bread, nuts, etc, and the yogurt. I also eat a lot of toppings off pizza. I crave it and that adds up pretty quick. I also like the lowcarb pizza from Sams. The lowcarb bagels I get from a place called Lowcarb Emporium. I order them online. They are really good; expensive and usually a little dry but they sure make up for the real thing. My tuna and chicken salads are made with sugar free pickle relish sweetened with Splenda and Duke's Sugar Free Mayonnaise. I just eat it with celery, lettuce or lowcarb bread. About the only fruit I eat is berries in my yogurt. I also eat a lot of peanutbutter. I'm amazed at my CCL and the number of calories I can eat and not gain weight; probably 1800/day at least. One more thing, I don't know if I have mentioned that I am 55 years old and the grandmother of a little two year old boy, Jonah and 3 week old girl. Her name is Anleigh, after me whose real name is Ann Lee. I'm just a lucky lady.
