I can do the mathS quite well, thanks

The point is, this is a FRUIT FLAVOURED yoghurt and is sweetened with Sucralose rather than asparatame or another artificially sweetener. For the UK this is a big stride forward. I know you're used to the many products you can get in the US, but those of us who live permanently on this side of the pond are not. So positive steps by the supermarkets are welcome.

PS: I have never seen a "normal" pot of yoghurt of nearly 200g, either 125 or 150 is the usual UK size, as in the Yeo Valley you quote. I agree that's an excellent yoghurt, but if you compare like with like and look at their fruit-flavoured varieties, you will see that the carb number shoots up to around 15g and more.

125 ml is only 4fl oz which isn't even the usual size for a common yogurt container (about 6fl oz, almost 200 ml). Thus the one you mention works out to be about 12g of CH for the usual amount (6 fl oz).

By comparisson, the YeoValley natural has only 9.9g of CH FOR THE ENTIRE container (150g)... do the math and you'll verify it is actually less than the one mentioned above.

Well, you can buy Atkins-branded fruit-flavored yougurt right here in the UK with only 4g of CH per 125ml (MILLILITER). A day or two ago I saw them in Boots, and I suspect they can be found in many other locations.

Atkins goes out of his way to warn us that sugar-free does not mean carb-free. For example, there have long been sugar-free products for diabetics which are definitely not suitable for LC. And, of course, potato, rice, wheat, etc are typically 100% sugar free, but no one would consider them LC.

P.S. You seem to have confused ml with g, they are NOT the same. If you read the quote you included from my original post, you will see that I wrote that the typical yougurt container had 200ml (MILLILITER) which is not the same as200 gr. 6 fl oz (typical container in the UK) is roughly 190ml (MILLILITER).

That's my favourite. 4.4g per 100ml. I buy a big pot and every day scoop out a serving into one of the little pots that I've saved from before (they are very sturdy) and take it with me to work. I then just drop a few berries into it - or, if I'm feeling decadent I thoroughly recommend cooking some rhubarb, blackberries and blueberries etc together (no sugar OR sweetener) and keeping it in the fridge for a while. A teaspoon of that swirled through the yoghurt is pretty awesome.
